What a fun way to spend a Saturday evening with my boyfriend!! If you're looking for super fancy sushi with crazy ingredients and toppings -this is not your place. If you're looking to learn how to roll basic sushi, with quality ingredients including tuna, salmon, spicy shrimp, spicy snow crab, or pollock (imitation crab found in most "california rolls"), drink your own wine on the cheap, meet new people, laugh, EAT A TON... then this is it!
Jack and Deb are a husband/wife duo who know their stuff! They spend 30-40 minutes educating you on everything from the basic "how to cut open an avocado" to how to cook/prepare sushi rice, to more advanced details regarding Japanese knives -very interesting stuff! All while snacking on a simple crab dip and happily drinking wine or beer (or whatever) you brought in yourself (with no corkage or added fee!)
Then it's your turn!! You all belly up to a long stainless table with various veggies and avocado cut and ready, pan full of rice and a pile of Nori at the ready! Off you go while Jack and Deb come around and guide you through -making sure you don't screw up your own dinner. Each person gets to make three rolls, each roll makes eight pieces -it's a ton of food. After you're done rolling you go back to the counters along the windows, continue drinking -and enjoy!!
It's a laid back, fun experience! Â All I would change: A greater variety of ingredients -they suggest if you want chicken or something, you can bring it in.... but maybe offer an "upcharge" if you want eel or scallops, etc. Also, it seems like they can be a little rigid about your "form" (respect the sushi!), i.e. I wanted to squeeze a line of the spicy mayo INSIDE my roll, (what the hay, right?) and I almost felt a little bad for wanting to do so since they so heavily discouraged it. Otherwise, everything was grrrreat! Book your spot now!
