    This class was great! We thoroughly enjoyed our experience. The class is set up in the Main Room which has an indoor greenhouse in it which I thought was kind of cool. Our instructor was very kind, energetic, informative, and punctual. We each got 2-3 rolls that we made ourselves and she provides all ingredients, you just bring your booze! We loved it. It was a great anniversary celebration.

    This is such a great class! I was surprised how well my sushi rolls came out after following her directions. Samantha does a lot of the prep work so you don't have to cook the rice or chop the veggies during the class, but she also demonstrates how to do all those steps so you're prepared to do it on your own later.

    This class was a great introduction to making sushi. We had a lot of fun and gained confidence with acquiring supplies and making our own rolls. Samantha is a wonderful and knowledgeable host - we will seek out more classes with her.

    We had an absolute blast! There was a bit of a mixup on Dabble's part of sending out the correct address, but the teacher was super efficient and friendly and the whole class just 'rolled with it' - terrible pun but great experience!

    The class itself was okay. However, all participants were sent to the wrong location, and therefore, the class time was basically cut in half. The instructor handled this very well once all had arrived at the correct location. I am uncertain of whether this was an error on dabbles part or on the instructors part.

    Chef Samantha was great! She created a very fun, positive atmosphere. The class was an intimate 8 people, so the chef had time to instruct each attendee one-on-one, which was great. She had an abundance of fresh ingredients and did a great job of managing the class and keeping the rhythm moving as we only had an hour to enjoy the art of sushi making. Thanks for a great class and a great experience.

    I loved this class! Samantha fit so much information in for a one hour class, and left us ample time to practice rolling sushi ourselves. I also loved the chill atmosphere of being in an apartment. I previously thought that making sushi at home was something I could never master - this gave me the confidence to try it on my own.

    Do you love sushi? Do you want to learn how to make it at home in a fun & relaxed atmosphere? Then this is the class for you. Learn the basic ingredients and then roll, roll, roll your way to deliciousness! chef Samantha is very knowledgeable and accommodating. I went by myself - but this would make a great date night activity!

    I thought it would be super difficult to make sushi, but Chef Samantha explained everything (and showed me again even) to make it a fun and enjoyable experience. I was able to make three different rolls and could experiment with different ingredients she had for us. She also has to-go containers, which was a nice touch.

    Four ladies and I took a class with Samantha as a part of my sister's bachelorette party. It was a blast and a highlight of the evening for us. We brought ingredients to make pisco sour cocktails and thoroughly enjoyed Samantha's great instruction in sushi-making. She began by giving us a tutorial on making sushi rolls and then gave us some additional tips as we made our own. We each made at least three yummy rolls and had leftovers to take home. She used a very tasty blue crab stuffing in addition to many pre-chopped veggies! She went the extra mile to make our celebration special and snapped a few group photos of us to commemorate the time together!
