    Great class. A lot of fun

    We really loved our experience. Abigail and Matt were both phenomenal. We received such a warm welcome upon arrival and everything was set up so perfectly for the class. The restaurant was homey, clean and inviting. They provided excellent hospitality the whole time. The quality of the knowledge she shared was awesome, she did a really interesting show and tell with the raw ingredients that was interesting and fun. We have some pretty 'foody' people on the team and even people who make sushi at home and we ALL learned a lot. The food quality was very high as well. All in all our team, learned, bonded and had a lot of laughs and a TON of sushi, we all left completely stuffed. I would highly recommend this specific class and pretty much any thing that Abigail is hosting.

    We had so much much at this class! The sushi making was harder than it looks but we still had so much fun with the hands on experience. Abigail and her staff are also so nice and so much fun to talk with and ask questions to! I would recommend this class to anybody who’s interested in food and cooking!

    Sushi basics was great. I took my sister for her birthday— we loved the context given to the ingredients, the small stories and jokes sprinkled in, and the quality of instruction. There was lots of freedom in the sense that could you essentially freestyle sushi making if you wanted, but the instruction was stellar, and I was making full rolls in minutes. 10/10!

    We really enjoyed the class and feel ready to make sushi at home. The atmosphere is fun - I liked that it was in a restaurant and maintained the restaurant feel as we learnt the various ways Abby had planned for us to make sushi and as we enjoyed eating it. Thank you Abby. I would definitely come for another class
