Well hot dang!!! I was not expecting that AT all. I'm not sure what I WAS... expecting but it certainly wasn't that. Chef Sang was funny, entertaining and very clear with the instructions. He went into great detail to explain how the flavours, combinations and ingredients all affected the quality and taste of your sushi. We learned 3 basic rolling techniques and by the end of the class, we were quite full. And this coming from two people who often go and eat all you can eat. It must have been something to do with the quality of the ingredients. And on top of that, the purchase of our spot in the session went on to help others which was a really nice added bonus at the end of the class. I highly HIGHLY recommend participating, if not, purchasing it as a gift for friends. We have already started telling our friends and are likely to organize a group night it was so excellent. I cannot give Chef Sang and his team enough praise. Even the pre setup and delivery of the food was on clear, responsive and on time. Absolutely fantastic experience. Top praise.read more

I took the Sushi making class on Saturday after receiving a gift voucher... last year. Booking the session was very easy and they kindly extended the voucher time frame for me. When the box arrived on the day of the class with the ingredients it was packed well with very clear instructions. The online class itself was great! Chef Sang was knowledgeable, funny and very easy to follow. I would highly recommend the class to others (and already have done!) It would be great to do this class in-person.read more

I did a virtual class with my 2 sons (8 and 14). We learned so much about... the proper ways to eat sushi to enjoy all of the flavours. The ingredients were fresh, the special soy sauce blend was amazing and the portions were perfect. Would highly recommend to anyone interesting in learning how to make sushi.

Wow! Just wow! Chef Sang. I cannot believe you taught me how to make sushi... over a zoom call. My gf Taylor and I loved every second of it. I usually like to give both the good and the bad but I just don't have any bad things to say about this experience!First off, the box of food and supplies was amazing. They were so well packed and fresh. The fish was fresh and tasted amazing! The veggies were picked perfectly but I have to talk about the avocado because that was my biggest worry. Cutting into that, it was perfect! 10/10Now with the video call. Chef Sang was so personable and well-spoken. He commented on everyone's videos and didn't leave anyone out. He was such a great teacher. I have never made sushi before and thought I would make a complete mess but by the pictures below, they came out perfectly. It was so fun to do and so simple with the help of Chef Sang. Also, before I forget, there is plenty of food in this box. We were so shocked. We bought for 2 but we gave a full plate to our neighbour so it didn't go to waste.This is a great experience and will be recommending this to everyone. Take a look at what we made and keep in mind, we never made sushi before.read more

Had an absolutely brilliant time at this online sushi class with Chef... Sang! From setting everything up with Jennifer at the start (very helpful, kind, and welcoming - can't thank Jennifer enough) to the delivery of the food/ materials to the techniques taught to eating the sushi, this was a quality experience that I'd recommend to everyone who's able! Fun, interesting, engaging, and encouraging - I managed to roll temaki properly for the first time in my life, and we all had a ball!read more

Dear Chef Sang,I loved every moment of "Sushi making for the soul." It... was so much fun!!! Something that I hope to experience once again in the very near future.Chef Sang, thank you for making yesterday's lesson so personable and enjoyable. My family (and friends who kept popping in and out throughout the lesson...uninvited 😉) enjoyed it just as much as I did. They were very impressed at how yummy my sushi rolls were. That is because the quality of rice and food items used were fresh and authentic.I could not have asked for a more beautiful way to celebrate my birthday...thank you... grazie... merci.... 감사합니다.Claudiaread more

I had an amazing experience with Sushi Making for the Soul. They did a... great job organizing the corporate event and ensured everyone had their sushi kits delivered on time for the workshop. Also the Chef Sang did a fantastic job teaching everyone how to make various kinds of sushi rolls and even about the culture of sushi making. Definitely a worthwhile workshop to take. The fact that they made the virtual experience easy and fun was really a bonus :)read more

Excellent event! Chef Sang is fun, engaging, and informative. The food is... delicious, a variety of ingredients is offered (my children ate the eggplant on its own - that's how incredibly delicious the food is!) and is prepared and provided in a kit that is easy to use. Chef Sang's online setup makes it easy to follow his instructions and results in beautiful, delicious sushi. We made a variety of rolls over the two hour period. My young kids also got involved and enjoyed preparing and eating their own sushi.I highly recommend Sushi Making for the Soul.read more

I wasn’t sure what to expect from the experience. I’ve never eaten sushi,... let alone made it and add to that the digital aspect - it was going to be completely new!It wasn’t just making sushi, it was an education about the process of how each component is made from the rice to the sake. Chef Sang Kim was personable, entertaining, and informative.It was a lot of laughs, delicious food, and a fully engaging experience that I won’t forgot!read more

I recently experienced Chef Sang's online Sushi Making for the Soul class... and it did not disappoint.The food was fantastic, the stories were great, and Chef Sang shared many culinary lessons along the way. The technology and the style of the online class was very effective at allowing me to follow along and learn. Multiple cameras, and clear instructions made it much more enjoyable.My favorite part (outside of the delicious sushi) was learning about the small ingredients that can make such a difference in good sushi. The soya sauce, pickled ginger, and all the other ingredients were carefully chosen to provide a heightened experience. The smallest items can sometimes have the largest impact on the dish!Thanks again Chef Sang for the wonderful time, and a great memory. All the best as you continue to teach, and inspire.read more

Highly recommend Sushi Making for the Soul! Chef Sang conducts a really... engaging, authentic, and informative class virtually. It's really easy to follow his lead and instruction to create various tasty maki creations - you'll be surprised how well you'll do! It was also great that he effortlessly provided attention to each individual virtual student, and was happy to take questions if you had any. It was also great to hear that Sang and Jennifer does so much to support the community as well - kudos to you guys!The sign up process and ingredients pick up was also extremely easy and smooth. They provide curbside pickup (they also offer delivery), and everything you need for the class is packaged nicely in a cute decorative box. Jennifer was so responsive and even went above and beyond to help me figure out how to gift this virtual class for a friend for her birthday. I highly recommend you try this!

Planning a birthday in the middle of a lockdown/global pandemic can be... challenging - especially for a milestone birthday. However, after reading multiple reviews about Chef Sang’s Sushi Making for the Soul, I knew that this class would be perfect.

I organized a Parent Social for an evening of sushi making with Chef Sang.... The experience exceeded my expectations - from the top notch ingredients provided in the sushi kits, to Chef Sang teaching all 40 of us how to properly make and eat sushi! He was very engaging and charismatic in his delivery - I would highly recommend if you are wanting to do a fun event with friends or family. My sushi wasn’t the prettiest, but it tasted fantastic!

I purchased this class for something to do for my fiancé's birthday and he... LOVED it and so did I. As two individuals who go for sushi regularly, we thoroughly enjoyed learning and becoming more knowledgeable on the making of sushi. Chef Sang made the class fun, informative and engaging. He allowed and encouraged us to show off our skills and it was nice seeing all the other participants work. We were a little hesistant at the first glance, thinking it wasn't going to be enough food and Chef Sang ensured us all that we would 100% be full by the end of it because you get full faster when you take your time eating. Everything was sooo delicious and we will definitely be looking into taking another level of sushi cooking class with Chef Sang. In these crazy times, where we are isolated in our house, this was absolutely a fun and different thing to do on a Saturday night rather than your typical watch netflix kind of night. Thank you Chef Sang!read more

We engaged Sushi Making for the Soul for a team holiday event at work and... everyone had such a great time! We had colleagues participate from coast to coast in Canada and they were able to deliver all the required ingredients in time for the event, even though it was booked quite last minute! Perishable ingredients were delivered fresh and tasty. Chef Sang was an informative chef and teacher and was also very fun as he led the live class virtually. If he's that engaging virtually, his in-person classes must be even better when we're all allowed to gather again. Highly recommend!read more

With a large group, we all received a great kit delivered to our doors including everything you need from ingredients, kitchen tools and the chopsticks to eat your creations! Not only did Chef take the time to know about our team before the lesson, but the level of engagement felt so personalized. Chef provided so much knowledge, information and most importantly energy and charisma throughout the whole experience. After it was done, we all hit Slack uploading photos and commenting about how much fun we all had!

Chef Sang's sushi making class was so much fun! I got this class as a gift... to a friend for her birthday. Since we were still dealing with the pandemic, we had the class online and I opted to purchase the ingredients myself since we weren't in the Toronto area.The purchase process for the class was really easy and Jennifer was quick and informative through emails. Since I was purchasing my own ingredients, Jennifer spoke with Chef Sang who, then, provided his phone number and I was able to speak with him about what was needed. He took time to go through what ingredients I could get based on what I enjoyed and told me about specific brands I should be getting. He, also, was thorough in explaining how to make the perfect rice for sushi using my rice cooker. I felt confident even before starting the class.The link to access the class was sent earlier in the week before the class was to air with instructions on how to access. During the class, Chef Sang was informative and entertaining, cracking jokes to keep us on our toes. His instructions to make the sushi was clear and easy to follow. We made 3 different rolls and a hand roll. Chef Sang started out with a cucumber roll with the nori on the outside and then moved into a California roll, then a tuna hand roll, and finished off with a trickier yin and yang roll which we were able to achieve with chef's guidance. After the class had finished, we continued making some of our own sushi creations with the leftover ingredients and our newly learned skills.Chef Sang was patient with us as we were quite a rowdy pair so we kept our microphone on mute, but we kept our video on so he could see our progress. We were able to see the other people also learning how to make sushi and it felt like a community for the 2 hours that the class ran.Thank you Chef Sang for an awesome night! We were able to enjoy some good company, great sushi and learned something in the process. I would recommend this class to anyone!read more

Honestly, It was a great experience. I am so happy we opted to come into... the facility because of Chef Sangs charismatic nature and personal touch. Everything was sanitized and safe. This would be an amazing work event!! It was nice to get out, make some great food, have some laughs, and learn something new. We all had a great time. We would be more than happy to experience this class or a new class sometime soon we truly enjoyed it. It is rare that a culinary experience makes you feel "like home and you're hanging out with friends"...this I appreciate.I finally learned how to make sushi and know more about the culture and Chef Sangs experiences. This morning I woke up and said "look at that, Chef Sang created the dynamite roll... how amazing is that...everyone serves the dynamite role"!PS. We could not stop commenting on how fresh the food was last night and how much we learned about quality sushi. I'd be interested to know more about where to buy some of the items - like ginger, Wasabi was insane lol, and the soy!. Keep me posted on Chef Sango products! Please take good care we wish you both the best of luck - stay safe!Lizread more

Never thought I'd "virtually attend" a cooking class, but so glad I did! ... For starters - the home kits came with everything fully prepped to be able to make the Sushi, including Chef Sang's personal blend of Soy Sauce (it's absolutely delicious!! and available for purchase in 2021), real wasabi (I never knew I was eating neon green horse radish paste), and all the regularly expected ingredients & tools (the beer was my add). You can ask for a vegetarian or regular kit, and there is a ton of food. On the main event - The class was fun, informative, filling and just a lovely way to spend the evening. Chef Sang was great about making everyone feel comfortable and encouraging chat across the video groups. There was a camera for Chef Sang and one on the sushi mat, so you can always see what's going on. Even better than a fun night & full belly - a portion of your fee goes to Chef Sang's charitable endeavors. Sign up with friends and make a night of it!read more

What a great way to spend a family evening! We listened, we laughed, we... found our taste buds, and we made sushi! It didn't always look as good as it tasted, but we are proud of ourselves for attempting a craft that has been around for thousands of years. A big thank you to Chef Sang for making our evening enjoyable in every way. We share your passion for sushi and appreciated the knowledge and advice you provided. We especially enjoyed learning about wasabi, soy sauce and ginger. The session is worth it for that information alone! P.S. Thanks for the K-drama recommendations too :)read more

When Chef Sang Kim arrived at our door last night the evening instantly... began to develop when he walked into our kitchen. Chef Sang designed an eating area for 11 staging our dishes and his accessories to create a colourful surprise as he invited us all in from our backyard patio.I truly felt like I was walking into a lovely Resturant and not my kitchen!Chef Sang changed our way of eating sushi by teaching us all to slowdown, prepare our food with meaning and taught us an understanding of how to combine rich quality items to create our delicious rolls.Chef Sang, came organized and prepare showing no stress and maintained professionalism which I think if your looking for a night out in your own home you should consider.Our friends and family will rave about what they learned, enjoyed, and experienced with Sushi Making for the Soul.Thank you so much for my birthday dinner ❤️read more

I have wanted to learn to make sushi for the longest time. Chef Sang's... class is the perfect introduction to not just sushi rolling, but the history and etiquette of sushi. I now feel confident that I won't offend anyone when I eat a traditional sushi meal. Although I have a long way to go before mastering the art of sushi making, at least I know it's not as complicated as it looks. Chef Sang provided easy to follow instructions and even more importantly, during this time of panic, he provided a very calm, fun, and enjoyable atmosphere, and made sure to take the necessary precautions to make all of us feel comfortable, healthy, clean, and safe with strict measures around sanitation and safety. I highly recommend Sushi Making For The Soul for anyone curious about sushi, or just looking to have a fun night. It is definitely more fun with someone to enjoy the experience with. Thank you Chef Sang.P.S. the location is amazing, super clean, and very spacious with plenty of free parking.read more

The amount of sushi we were able to make definitely filled us up, and we had a blast learning about the different types of techniques within sushi-making. I would highly recommend this for anyone looking for an intro to sushi-making!read more

I was skeptical at first when my friends invited me to attend a private... sushi making night/party. I like eating Japanese food but the thought of preparing the food never crossed my mind as an enjoyable thing to do. As you can see by my rating, I was pleasantly surprised and really enjoyed the evening with my friends at this event. Chef Sang is incredibly knowledgeable, entertaining, and learned some great techniques. He was well prepared, answered many questions, was energetic and engaging, told many funny and intriguing stories about food and his experiences as a Chef in Toronto. I also really like the fact his Ingredients were fresh and of good quality. When it comes to Japanese food, that is ultra important! I can see why this is a high demand experience. I would definitely recommend booking a private event Sushi Making experience with Chef Sang Kim.read more

My husband and I first met Chef Sang when we booked a sushi-making party... at our home for 10 adults. Not knowing what exactly to expect, we were blown away. The evening was a great way for our group to connect while learning a new skill - and in the privacy of our home. Chef Sang was both informative and hilarious. The ingredients were well chosen and there was something for everyone in our diverse group (which included a vegetarian). By the end of the night we had learned so much and everyone had such a great time that we have booked the next level up! Highly recommended.read more

My sister found Chef Sang's Sushi Making for the Soul for my bachelorette... party the night before my wedding. I couldn't have been happier to experience Chef Sang's warmth and passion for food and community during such an important time in my life. I was so happy to hear that our experience was helping youth in Toronto access the class. We all learned lots about sushi and Chef Sang's detailed explanations and knowledge of the food and art were impressive! I would recommend booking Chef Sang for anyone looking for a unique experience to share with their friends, family, coworkers or neighbors!read more

My boyfriend and I took the Uramaki (inside-out rolls) class. It was a... gift for our 3rd year anniversary and we love to cook. And I was so excited because I love watching Chef Sang on CTV’s The Social. The class was SO amazing that we enrolled in the Making Makimonos class. Chef Sang is just as charming, funny, and incredibly knowledgeable in real life as he is on tv! If you love sushi and want to learn how to make it right or you just want a great night out with your partner, THIS is the class! So much fun!read more

Chef Sang Kim was fabulous. He's not only a chef, he's a historian and... poet of sushi and rice and eating. and he's kind of like a stand-up comedian too. I know him first and foremost from his restaurant ventures, but this experience was the best--he shines as a host and a sushi mentor. (Is that a thing? It is now!) We had a wonderful, convivial evening.read more

First of all, whatever preconceptions you may have about sushi making,... throw them out the window on your way to this class.This event, yeah it’s way more than just a class, is perfect whether you’re going with a friend, coworkers or date.Chef Sang Kim has a way of putting everyone at ease right from the beginning. I suggest you arrive about 15-30 minutes early to meet and mingle with others before class starts.The class itself begins with a really interesting presentation of where sushi comes from and the proper etiquette of eating these heavenly rolls. You will also learn about the great work that Chef Sang Kim does with local troubled youth. During the class itself you will make enough sushi to be well fed so no need to eat later. Do not be intimidated if you’ve never even thought about how sushi is made. The class will teach you step by step and to be honest, I was impressed with my friend’s creations. The whole class is a blast and you will have a great time. I’m actually looking forward to taking some more advanced classes next time I’m in Toronto. In a nutshell, GO, you won’t regret it.read more
