Recent reviews of Japanese Cooking Class

• 5/5 from Jessi Brunetti, attended Mar 2026: My partner and I had such a great time at the sushi making class last night. The atmosphere was relaxed and welcoming, and the chef was incredibly professional and made everything feel accessible and supportive for beginners. Both members of staff were super friendly throughout the evening. We learned how to make lots of dishes—maki, uramaki, gyozas, bao buns, and katsu—and each one was delicious. The chef walked us through step-by-step and made sure everyone felt confident with each bit. One of the best parts is that we left with lots of food to take home (I can't wait for dinner tonight!), so it felt like amazing value as well as a great experience. Overall, a fantastic evening. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a fun activity, to improve their cooking skills, or just to enjoy some incredible food!

Her demonstrations and instructions were very clear and easy to follow and we produced delicious sushi, dumplings and chicken which we feel confident enough to try again at home.

• 5/5 from Nicola Barrett, attended Mar 2025: I bought a class as a gift and the recipients loved it. The sushi making was a big hit and both enjoyed the tuition on making gyozas. The teacher engaged well and made the class interesting. Will probably book more classes in the future.

• 4/5 from Kelly Norman, attended Feb 2025: Was informative… some of the dressings I would have liked to have known how to make them but I understand for ease it was already made for us. I would have also liked any tips about rice and cooking it the right way. I was told I would get the recipes but haven’t received these yet but would like to so I can make them again Thanks

• 5/5 from Anastazja Debowska, attended Jul 2024: It was a Christmas present for my husband who likes Japanese food. The teacher was friendly and attentive. The venue is large and really well designed for a group cooking. We have been provided all the materials and gold where to get similar ones. We learned to roll sushi, make thick curry sauce and give proper shape to gyozas. We had an occasion to enjoy the meal after the class.
• 5/5 from Bethany, attended Apr 2024: An amazing class. I emailed them before booking to see if it could be adapted for gluten free and they had everything ready for that when I arrived. I was a bit worried because my culinary skills leave something to be desired but everything was clearly explained and I actually made good food!
