| This was a pretty great experience. While I'm not the biggest fan of Japanese cuisine (I went for my girlfriend, mostly), I really dug the history lesson I got on the food. The host was swell, too. If you love Nihon food (tanoshi, desu-ka?), then you'll absolutely LOVE this event.
Give it a go, pal. |

| Thought he provided too much information. Would rather he told less and made it simpler. He also didn't give anybody at the table a chance to talk to each other. Felt more like a lecture. |

good food, good time, good info!

| Fun time - the guide is SO knowledgeable and the food was really delicious. Its an interesting activity - something different for sure. I'd recommend it to people that not just love food but love learning about it. |

| This was an excellent experience. Every minute was fun and informative. Raheem was engaging and very knowledgable. I highly recommend him. This is very much like a social dinner where there is a very interesting and talkative host. If you're the type who'd rather sit and eat in silence, this is not for you. Be ready for a fun night of laughing and learning. |

| Our guide Raheem was just so great. He respected our groups desire to talk but didn't let our side conversations distract from his job to teach us some very valuable things. It was the perfect balance. As for the food, I thought it was very good ! Some things I liked better then others but overall it was all very good (aside from dessert unfortunately). I would say you get pretty good value, esp. when u consider the 3 alcoholic beverages are part of the deal with $65....its not bad at all |

| I have been on 3 of the Foods of NY tours and have enjoyed all of them. I had much anticipation for the Japanese tasting event as our guide had talked about it on the last tour we had gone on, before the Japanese event was available.
We were not disappointed! The food was excellent. We took my parents who had been to Japan and they learned a lot. This event has the same casual, fun-loving, welcoming feel as the tours. We eat sushi weekly and were thrilled to try all different types of food as well as to learn how to eat sushi "properly".
This is an event not to be missed...I hope they create others like this! |

| I wasn't quite sure what to expect when signing up for this event, but I was pleasantly surprised. I am a sushi-lover but was interested in trying new Japanese food. The food was great and it was interesting to learn about Japanese food. Although the event was 2.5 hours, the time flew by while we were there. I hope that Foods of NY will add other events like this one to their menu. |
