After coming to Los Angeles six months in advance to check out the different schools before deciding to take the next major step in my life, I decided on Sushi Chef Institute because Chef Andy Matsuda took the time to sit down with me personally for 45 minutes and explain what the school was about and what I would be learning. This did not happen anywhere else. Now, with a week left, I can say, he both delivered and rose above all my expectations. Classes were detailed and efficient, and they drill it in to you that you are there to practice, practice, practice and make SEXY SUSHI. Also, Nick is on staff and always on hand, ready to guide you when you need help. Use him to your advantage, he’s a great instructor. You should take the class. You will be ahead of the game where ever you decide to go.
