I would like to take this opportunity to express my deepest gratitude to Sensei Andy Matsuda and the staff at Sushi Chef Institute for their tremendous assistance and support throughout the Pro I and Pro II courses. Prior to attending the Sushi Chef Institute, I didn’t have any experience in a Japanese cuisine kitchen or sushi bar, yet always have a strong passion in learning about Japanese cuisine (sushi) and culture. It has been an AWESOME and amazing experience at the Sushi Chef Institute because Sensei Andy Matsuda is an extremely diverse and knowledgeable teacher. He has a great depth in Japanese cuisine and background. I felt delighted in attending both courses. In addition, the service that the Sushi Chef Institute had provided from start to finish has been exemplary. It was professional yet friendly and far exceeded my expectation.
Sensei Andy Matsuda is an extraordinary teacher because he is professional and very knowledgeable about the sushi bar and the restaurant industry as a whole. I have found his positive attitude and professionalism very refreshing and inspiring. Sensei Andy Matsuda was there with us every step of the way. What an experience! For that I am truly grateful to be a part of the school. I highly recommend Sensei Andy Matsuda from the Sushi Chef Institute for anyone who is seeking to become a sushi chef. Thank you Sensei and your staff for a fulfilling and unforgettable experience and journey. Makoto restaurant here I come! Phuong Vo, class of summer 2012.
