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.

Amazing class! Chef Sang was a genuinely patient teacher, super friendly... and hilarious - my boyfriend and I were constantly laughing throughout the entire class.

I absolutely loved this class! The packaging with all the ingredients was... so cute. For someone who has never made sushi before, it is so helpful to have all of the ingredients already there and then just roll with it (pun intended). Chef Sang was funny & the instructions were easy to follow. What a great & fun activity! I would highly recommend it 👍read more

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

The Sushi Making for the Soul was a fabulous experience and everyone had a... blast. Chef Sang was an encouraging tutor with lots of history and anecdotes about the origins of California Rolls; the purpose of wasabi, how it's grown and it's evil doppleganger horseradish powder; tasting tips like never let the rice touch the soy; and never EVER mix the soy and wasabi together!

Just did a virtual team event with Chef Sang Kim and it was beyond... fantastic! 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 was a great facilitator for our corporate sushi making event. We... were able to make four different rolls and eat them as we went.

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

My partner and I attended the Intro to Maki Rolls class and we had a... really wonderful time. The class took place during COVID restrictions and both of us felt very safe. We were spaced quite far apart from our neighbours; everyone wore their masks when they weren't eating; and the venue was clean and so lovely - perfect lighting for Instagram. Chef Sang himself is a gregarious, warm, and knowledgeable individual - my partner and I learned so much from his class and we will definitely be back. Also (and probably most importantly), the food was scrumptious. Thank you, SMFTS!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.

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.

Not only does Sang provide useful, applicable instruction making sushi, but he also provides a rich context for the class - from the history of this Japanese delicacy, to the intricacies of its flavors and textures, to the appropriate way to enjoy it. All is delivered in Sang's jovial, good-humored style, which is sure to have you laughing as much as you are learning. Bravo!read more

Such a fun experience. Chef Sang is a great host! Funny, makes you feel... comfortable yet awkward for making a mistake at the same time, in a humourous way of course. I learned so much in this class!read more

Great date night experience and Chef Sang makes it soooo easy to master... rolling within minutes. "Moments of truth" around sushi etiquette blew our minds. (Obviously we've been eating sushi all wrong...Don't make wasabi & soy sauce soup!).read more

Chef Sang is amazing, knows so much about sushi and its history. I can... make spicy tuna rolls now, my girlfriend's fave. So easy to learn when you have a great teacher. We took the making makimonos class, quality ingredients and excellent sushi rice. The most fun cooking class in the city. Highly highly recommend!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

I won a private class through a charity auction, and so I wasn't sure what... to expect. In short, the class blew me away. Chef Sang's attention to detail, expansive knowledge and engagement with each of us made the class a wonderful experience for all. I would highly recommend it, we had such a great time!read more

Chef Sang is extremely informative and entertaining at the same time.My boyfriend and I had an awesome date night, it was unlike anything we had ever done before. We are now sushi making experts! I have been recommending this class to all my friends and family!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
