Rodney was amazing. He’s very personable and the food he cooked was an 11/10. I would hire him in a heartbeat again. Thanks Rodney!

The sushi was okay - it arrived pre-rolled and just needed to be cut up. We expected more of a cooking "experience" of watching the food be prepared and plated so it was a little bit of a let down. I felt like it was very overpriced for what it was.

We absolutely loved Chef Rodney! He was an absolute delight. We booked the private sushi bar for my husband’s birthday and the food was great - the mango rice pudding was a hit with our group. Honestly, we just loved our evening with the Chef! Looking forward to reserving another event.

Chef Rodney was unbelievably phenomenal. He was entertaining, polite, patient, and professional. We booked a class for our 9 year old sushi loving son as a Christmas present, and Chef Rodney was able to to keep a high expectation for the class while truly meeting the theme of this class— simple. He worked to make sure our son understood each step, while also providing ingredients and skills for a delicious meal. He is worth every single penny and so much more. I can’t imagine a better experience.

We loved our evening with Chef Rodney! He had everything ready, explained and demonstrated all the techniques, as well as taught our group with patience. He gave wonderful tips to use in the future as well. He is very professional, knowledgeable and funny. It was our first time doing this and we all would do it again especially if we could have Chef Rodney!

Chef Rodney was great but for 400 bucks I was expecting a large kitchen and Paired wine options. This is just based on previous experiences. I understand it is in the chef’s home but upon arriving I found it difficult to find the apartment. The cooking environment was distracting with outside noises.

Rodney provided the perfect setting for my wife's surprise birthday gift. From the moment that he was waiting outside to help us find his apartment to the moment we were leaving with our newfound skill he was a wonderful and warm host. I highly recommend Chef Rodney to anyone who wants a fun evening full of laughter, learning, and lots of good food!

Chef Rodney was absolutely incredible. I bought this as an experience for my boyfriend and I and he was so friendly and accommodating in helping us learn everything. He let us be hands on with everything and the food was incredible. I definitely recommend booking this sushi experience and it really can be as simple as he says! Thank you again Chef Rodney! We had the most amazing time.

It was so much fun. It's like having a good friend invite you over for dinner, but teach you how to cook in the process. It's really neat that he can turn his home into a teaching environment, but make it seem like a dinner party at the same time.

Chef Rodney was perfect. If you love to learn new things about cooking ... and want to be able to also do them in your home not some fancy gourmet kitchen he is the man to show you. Great conversation and helpful tips in a relaxed and enjoyable environment. He is a must book !

For Chinese it's a wonderful experience to know how to cook in western style especially French or Italian. The two children are very excited too. We enjoy the meal very much.

Thank you, Chef Rodney! We had a wonderful time chatting, cooking, drinking and learning. Rodney is super hospitable and super knowledgeable when it comes to his craft. We learned some great tips, which will find their way into our home-cooking repertoire and unleashed at the next dinner party. All in all, it was a wonderful evening and a terrific value.

What an amazing experience to see a professional at his craft but what was more impressive was how he turned it into a wonderful learning experience and made it a memorable date night for me and my wife. I will recommend this to all my coworkers and friends.

I couldn’t have asked for a more special or intimate way to celebrate a birthday or any other occasion for that matter! Chef Rodney is truly gifted and I loved every aspect of sharing his home and kitchen!! He was patient, informative, and very engaging as we went through each entree. I learned some new techniques and actually left feeling like every penny spent was worth it and then some! Please don’t hesitate to seek his services for large or small events because the quality, food, service, and personality is top notch!!

Chef Rodney was so fun!! We had a great time. My only complaint is Chef did not get notice there were 2 additional people so we had 4 people on 2 portions of food and still had to pay for 4 people. Outside of that, it was fun.
