Booked the class Japanese Seafood Skills with Chef Ryan in South Bay & Peninsula (East San Mateo)

Chef Ryan walked us through the whole culinary experience like the professional he is, clearly explaining every step with humor and giving us tips for when we cook at home. Everything we made was absolutely delicious and perfectly cooked, and we can’t wait to try to replicate it! As a bonus, he even rolled with it when we (accidentally) showed up half an hour early. Wonderful experience, will definitely be booking again. Thank you!

Had an awesome time learning how to make sushi with Chef Ryan. He’s very easy going and the lesson was very hands on and personal. I would definitely recommend this class for anyone in the Bay Area!

Chef Andrea was an excellent instructor. I especially appreciated that after she would display how to pleat the siu mai and har gow skin, she came around each table to give assistance to those who needed help. Also, qwhen the har gow flour didn't work out, she was prepared for plan B. Her helpers also helped make the class run smooth. The class was fun!!!

Booked the class Artful Sushi Techniques with Chef Jacob in South Bay & Peninsula (Shoreview)

Chef Jacob made us feel relaxed and we had fun learning to make Sushi. We also learned about the history & some knife techniques to help make the prefect side dish and sushi rolls. He sent us home with his recipes. We’re exited to impress our friends and family with our new Sushi skills.

Chef Ryan kindly greeted us at his apartment... Everything was all set up and ready to go! He patiently walked us through each recipe and was super informative about all the ingredients and preparation. My mom and I enjoyed every second. We loved the unique flavors that Chef Ryan used and how he incorporates his own self expression into his dishes. A true artist! I would highly recommend this class.

We did a 7-person team building sushi making class. The food was delicious and very filling - we were all stuffed until the next day! We had a great time chatting with Chef Ryan, who explained each dish, the ingredients, and how to make it like a pro.

I booked a Japanese themed cozymeal with chef Ryan as a surprise for my husband's birthday. We arrived to his apartment, where he then guided us to the spacious community room. All of the ingredients and tools were setup for us to get started, as we turned on some fun music to cook to. Overall, the food was amazing and extremely fresh. I left SO FULL and we got to take home the leftovers! I learned new techniques and how to work with crab. Chef Ryan was professional, knowledgeable, and also down to earth and friendly. Thanks for the fun night, chef!

Don't let Chef Ryan's mild manner and calm demeanor fool you-- he's a ninja with a chef's knife! His experience working at Michelin rated restaurants give him the skills and knowledge to carve up delicious dishes. I was amazed to find out that he makes his own vinegar and polishes his rice for his Maki rolls and you can really taste the difference! Everything tasted fresh with amazing textures! If you're looking for a place to learn how to make sushi or just have a good time at his space, don's pass up a chance to hang with Chef Ryan!

Booked the class Elegant Ramen Feast with Chef Andrea in South Bay & Peninsula (Palo Alto)

Ramen. My friend and I had a fun evening and liked the Ramen recipe, but the class felt very chaotic and stressful. I have been to MANY cooking classes and this one was the most chaotic and unorganized one I’ve attended. I felt sorry for chef Andrea. She was nice. She was flustered, seemed stressed and not familiar with the recipe, didn’t know how to work the instant pot so had to pivot the recipe which I think affected the outcome. Her assistants were not helpful at all. Pam (assistant) was a real “downer”, slow, morose, unhelpful to the chef, wore a dirty looking Fanny pack the entire class and had stray hairs all over her black sweater while around our food. Chef Andrea had to ask her to do everything. She was never proactive. She also never smiled even once (Pam) and seriously brought the whole vibe down. The young male assistant was slightly more helpful but still not friendly or professional. I was actually quite shocked that they wouldn’t have a more professional cooking class. Maybe because I’ve been to so many cooking classes I have a higher expectation, but for the price I expected more. I left feeling tense, but also enjoyed it too….which kind of contradicts, I know. I think it was mostly enjoyable because of who I was with, and we were paired with. That’s what made it enjoyable.

Had it been posted the class was in Palo Alto I never would have signed up for it. I’ve taken many classes there in the past year and it hasn’t been a good experience. I was very disappointed this was not stated up front.

Booked the class The Art of Ramen with Chef Andrea in South Bay & Peninsula (Palo Alto)

We cooked Ramen in Palo Alto William Sonoma store with Chef Michael. I was a part of Adam's group of 10. The noodles were not edible but the broth and pork were delicious. Due to the rubbery noodles, there was mention of receiving a refund but we have not heard back yet. Thank you.
