Attending the sushi chef institute, for me, was never a question of “if”, but rather when. I was told about the school, by one of my chef instructors, while I was at Le Cordon Bleu. He said that attending SCI would increase my knowledge of food and my value as a chef. Considering my life long love of Asian food, this was an obvious choice for me.
What I learned, however, was far more than sushi. I learned about Japanese cuisine, culture and customs. School was not just classes. There were opportunities to help with catering, private parties, assisting with demonstrations. These are amazing learning opportunities. (when you attend, clear your schedule and participate in as many extra curricular activities as you can.)
The school is not just a school, but a family that you will keep with you for rest of your life. Upon graduation, they are there to help you find a job and guide you in your new career.
If you have a passion for Japanese cuisine then I would highly recommend the Sushi Chef institute.
Thank you.

P.S. The quality of instruction and the breadth of knowledge I acquired was such that I will be returning to take the advanced class.
