  • 5/5 from Chad King, attended Mar 2024: Elham was an incredible host and instructor. I brought my family of four to a private class to celebrate my wife’s birthday. She was so warm, open, and inviting. She was great with our kids, too! My family loves sushi, but we’ve never really made it before. We made California rolls, spicy, tuna, and some Nigiri. All of the food was delicious and she told us where she shops so we can try and re-create some of these rolls. My wife and family loved the experience and were interested in doing more classes in the future.
