• 5/5 from Adam Flanders, attended Aug 2026: Fun easy to make and a fact I learned was sushi was made in Asia not Japan like I thought. Delicious fish.
• 5/5 from Nathan Newell, attended Aug 2026: We had a good time! Great instruction, delicious food. Thank you so much! We hope to be back.
• 5/5 from Kendall May, attended Jul 2026: Great class! I learned so much about both how to make sushi and fun facts about sushi! It was a great combination that allowed us to build upon things we learned and I feel confident taking the skills I learned to try at home! I would love to do an advanced class in the future to build upon the skills I learned in this class. The instructor and staff were all fantastic!
• 5/5 from Janice Hodneland, attended Jul 2026: Instructor was awesome! Thoroughly enjoyed the class. Came with my sister, and we both had a great time. My only constructive feedback would be that there was so much food that we couldn’t eat it all. It just felt like it was wasted since we couldn’t take it home. But I totally understand why since it was raw fish. Other than that, it was awesome!
• 5/5 from Kristen Trottier, attended Jul 2026: Excellent class! Reeva is a fantastic instructor, and I was so excited and proud of the maki rolls that I made with her help. The fish was so fresh, and the rolls tasted delicious. The class is very hands on. Reeva takes the time to walk around the class to look at every student’s work and give feedback when building the rolls. She also has extremely helpful recommendations for how to manage the sushi rice and not overwork it, as well as information on local sourcing of fish. I left the class confident in my knowledge and skill to build a basic sushi roll ant home. Attached is the photo of my spicy tuna roll. If Reeva were to offer a next level sushi course I would sign up in a heartbeat. Thank you Reeva, and the entire Kitchen Engine staff for a great class!

• 5/5 from Cody Hewson, attended Jun 2026: This was such a fun class to do! We really enjoyed being able to make our own sushi and learn the process and a little bit about history of sushi. Our instructor was phenomenal. She was really friendly and engaging. I definitely like making the rolls, and the best part was getting to eat them. Highly recommend this class but I’d love more hands on with cutting the fish / prepping it which sounds like might be in the next level.

Was a ton of fun, not only learned sushi rolling techniques; Reeva taught us about looking for the best fish, fish techniques and had fun history tidbits of sushi and knives mixed in.

Hoping for an advanced class so we can learn more knife techniques and slice our own fish :)

She was mentioning some places and types of nori but my hands were so messy that I didn't write anything down.

• 5/5 from Amanda Langhans, attended Apr 2026: My teenager and I truly enjoyed this class, start to finish. He is an aspiring chef, and this class was a birthday gift for him. We really liked the instructor. She gave very clear, easy to follow instructions, and never for a moment did it feel stressful or difficult. We learned so much. I especially appreciated the personal stories that she shared, her tips and tricks, and how she came to be a sushi chef. We are looking forward to making sushi with the rest of the family, and feel super capable to do so. The classroom is such a cool space. To have so many people there and for it to still feel intimate and personal is fantastic. The whole place has a nice vibe. We perused the shop and made some purchases after class. Every person we spoke to was very buoyant, sincere, and helpful. I feel like I could be friends with all of them :), and it seems like a super fun place to work.
• 5/5 from Kyrsten Weber, attended Apr 2026: My son and I had been waiting for the return of the Sushi class. The instructor did not disappoint! She was clear in her instructions, went at a manageable pace, and was very relatable. We're looking forward to the Advanced Sushi class.
• 5/5 from Chey Scott, attended Apr 2026: We learned a lot and the sushi was very tasty! It's definitely a lot harder to make than it looks, but Reeva gave us lots of tips to try at home.
• 5/5 from Arnie Saddler, attended Apr 2026: I took a sushi making class about 15 years ago at SFCC. I learned the basics, just a California Roll.. I've been looking for an update on my sushi skills and Reeva did not disappoint!!!! She is an excellent instructor who is very knowledgeable! Probably the best cooking class I’ve ever taken.. plus Reeva is a lot of fun!! It was also special to me as my granddaughter Cloe was an assistant in the class.. she has a great appetite for sushi as well!! Thank you for. This class and I am very interested in Reeva’s advanced sushi making class in the future!! Your facility is lovely.. great atmosphere!!
• 4/5 from Kari Crawford, attended Apr 2026: Great class. Little choppy as this was her first class but props for getting in front of people and teaching!

• 5/5 from Colleen Clayson, attended Jun 2025: I went with my 15-year-old granddaughter. We both loved the class and Rui’s presentation! In the attached photo, my granddaughter’s is on the left and mine is on the right. I will take another one of her classes!
• 4/5 from Megan Golden, attended Jun 2025: We signed up for this sushi class for a fun date night and it was amazing! My husband has been wanting to learn how to make sushi for awhile and it was the perfect Father’s Day/birthday gift. Rui was wonderful! She was so thorough and helpful. We loved learning the techniques that are just so hard to learn from YouTube and other online resources. The only thing I would change is the variety of rolls we created. I wish there was maybe one more roll and I really wanted to play with the bamboo roller more! I know there is a more advanced class that is offered but I think this class was missing just one more roll or maybe instead of the hand roll another, more common roll. Other than that it was a blast! Thank you!
• 5/5 from Bonnie Chase, attended May 2025: We made sushi and the class was amazing! It wasn’t rushed and not too slow just right! Perfect amount of food for dinner! Highly recommend!

• 5/5 from Kent Berreth, attended Apr 2025: Rui is very entertaining and knows her stuff. I’ve taken other cooking classes at other venues and hers is the best. She gave us plenty of gems to take away from the class so I’m very happy with her class and look forward to the next one. The pic I added doesn’t look good and I don’t have the tech savvy to do it. But great class.
• 5/5 from Genevieve Urann, attended Apr 2025: I plan this for our date night here for my husbandandI. It was a great experience and the food was incredible. We highly recommend this to anyone looking to learn how to make homemade sushi. Our teacher was very friendly and knowledgeable.
