| As someone who loves their sushi, eats it all the time (twice a week on average these days...once went 6 months straight eating it daily), and considers himself pretty knowledgable on the whole thing, I was shocked! First I was shocked how amazing the food was - from the first course (which was a huge variety of chicken, beef, squid, etc that was nothing like the 'sushi' I've been used to) straight through to the more familiar raw fish dishes, the tastings were fantastic. I used the word 'tastings' loosely because this was a full meal and then some. And second I was shocked how much I did not know about sushi - from how it originated to why the wasabi and ginger are eaten the way they are, to the precision with which each tasting is prepared. One thing that was unexpected was how friendly our group became - I went solo just because the event sounded so interesting, but by the time I left I had gotten to know several other participants very well. Next time I go I'll be bringing friends, family or a date...it was one of the most unique, enjoyable and informative things I've done around NYC in quite some time. And our host, Raheem, was a star - knew much more than his share about sushi, kept the meal lively and moving, and did a great job catering to what I and the rest of the group thought the whole way. I'll be back!!! |

| My boyfriend and I were in NYC for the first time. I'm definately a planner and found this food tasting event online. It was a great way to spend an evening in the city. The restaurant was great and had a great ambiance. The food was delicious and the facts that we were given on Japanese food history and traditions was fantastic. The event host had lots of personality and great information. I gave this to my boyfriend as a birthday gift and he loved it. I would definately recommend this event and think it's a great value. |

| This was the best food tasting experience Ive ever been through. Rahim, the host, is funny, smart and very informative. We will definitely be back to visit Ariyoshi! We also can't wait to check out other events hosted by Rahim |

| 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 |

| We went here cause we love sushi and thought it would be a fun and different night out. The food was amazing and everything was explained in a way that added to the meal. The sake was one of the best parts and is definitely worth getting! Our host was also very friendly and knowledgeable and made sure that we all had a wonderful time. If you love sushi or want to love sushi, then this is the event for you!! |

| 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! |

| 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! |
