| This was a really delightful evening. Raheem is wonderful and the experience was great. If you enjoy japanese food and sushi, this is a different and very enjoyable way to spend your night. |

| This was a dinner a friend of mine was going to so I tagged along and I'm so glad I did. The food was amazing, and different, too, and the history of sushi and Japanese dining was so interesting. The host was so knowledgeable and really seemed to enjoy what he was talking about.
I'd highly recommend this to anyone who enjoys Japanese food and is willing to be a little adventurous (the great thing is that I'm not super adventurous when it comes to sushi and this was perfect).
I'd definitely do this again and am definitely going back to that restaurant. |

| We have never had good sushi until our visit here. It was fantastic. Not only was the food tremendous, the narrative added to the appreciation of the presentation, Kind of made it taste even better. Like performance (loud) exhaust on a Porsche. The sake was super good. Again we have never tasted such good sake and we have been all over the world, including Japan. You just have to do this. Plenty of food, but you do not go away feeling bloated . the beer selection is good and the sake is not so alcoholic that you feel compromised.The green tea is good too. The location is excellent, just two blocks from Union Square, 14th Street subway with a large book store near by for early arrivals. The seating is conducive to meeting new friends, always interesting. The group was small enough including several New Yorkers that contributed ideas concerning "The City". Too often you go to a highly rated restaurant and drink and eat too much and go away feeling like you had sex without the foreplay. Not here, you savor every morsel and every moment. And it is affordable and a bargain. Our next trip to New York will definitely include this event. One other thing, you gain a knowledge of Japanese food that will make visits to sushi bars in other places more rewarding.
Many thanks to the organizers of this event. |

| since I was by myself and everyone else was with a couple, I felt a little out of the loop. Perhaps a more informal introduction to get conversation going amongst ourselves would have been helpful. Other than that, Rasheem was an incredible presenter and the food was lovely. Thank you for such a great experience. I would reccomend it to anyone. |

| My husband and I found the tour to be great fun. We really enjoyed the food and the tour guide's explanation of Japanese tradition was very informative. We would definitely recommend the tour to others. |

| Raheem provides a high-energy and well-paced look at the behind-the-scenes aspects of a traditional Japanese "tapas" meal followed by sushi knowledge that even a die-hard fan may not know! The experience was fun and informative with plenty of food and great drinks - an overall good value. Would definitely recommend it to anyone looking to learn more about the foods they already love or those looking to have a new experience and expand their cultural and culinary knowledge while enjoying a great meal hosted by an entertaining and knowledgeable guide! |

| Went there as a date .. learned plenty (maybe too much), the food was titillating (like really really good). The staff was courteous and the host was extremely knowledgeable about the cuisine being served. I would recommend this event as an excellent date idea as well as being a hands-on way of learning about the elements of Japanese cuisine! |

| As a sushi enthusiast, I was concerned that the information would be too basic, and that the food couldn't possibly be that good for the money. I was wrong. The food was great. Amazing for the price. The information was fascinating and at just the right depth and the atmosphere and vibe of the other guests was very cool. Just a lot of serious foodies sharing a meal and stories of eating around town. I wish they did a second, higher level event centered around more esoteric sushi items like uni and ankimo, maybe not natto.
Highly recommended. |

| We both had such a great time at this event. At first I was reluctant to purchase the tickets bc i though it was a bit pricey, but once I was there I felt like I underpaid! The food is plentiful, the company enjoyable, and the drinks were flowing! Also, there were so many interesting facts about sushi that our tour guide Rahim supplied. I would definitely recommend this event to anyone! Have a great time! |
