| I took my girlfriend to the Sushi and Tapas event on Valentine's Day. It was an unforgettably special time. The food was incredibly unique, including the best sushi I have ever had (that seared salmon was dreamy!) and Raheem was the perfect host. He was gracious and friendly and accommodating and funny--awesome. I highly recommend this event to anyone looking for a great date night in New York or even just a special time with a friend or family member. Kudos to Foods of New York--you've done it again! |

| We are Japanese-foodophiles and this was some of the best sushi and tapas we've have outside of Japan. The group was also younger and more interesting than I expected. Thoughwe didn't learn too much, most typical japanese lovers would likely get some good nuggest of info out of it. Definitely recommended. |

Awesome night out!

| We LOVED this event!! Raheem was an awesome host - we learned so much from him and had a great time. The food was delicious and there was plenty of it! I have been eating sushi since I was five years old, and I now appreciate it so much more! My boyfriend just discovered that he also enjoys eating Japanese cuisine, and he had a great time as well. I would recommend this event to anyone who enjoys food!! |

| My husband took me on this tour which was so different from 'just another dinner' evening. We enjoy trying different foods and this tour was perfect. Our host was well versed in his knowledge of japanese and sushi information , he was funny and very pleasant throughout the night. I was totally satisfied with the way the tour was done because it allowed my husband and I to understand a little background info on the preparation of the food , which made the tasting part more delicious. We discovered we were eating what we refer to as 'sushi' upside down all these years. The host really took his time in explaining the history and we learned the difference between cold and hot sake. It is a great gift giving idea or a just a very different date alternative to a dinner and movie night. try It. |

| The guide was exceptional: full of energy, very knowledgeable, funny, a first-class host.
On the other hand, the food was very Americanised. This is not really Japanese food, it's what Americans think that Japanese food is (exception: sushi).
Also, quality and variety were not really very good. There are much better addresses in New York for Japanese food.
I would keep the guide and change the restaurant. |

| I decided to buy a ticket to this on a whim and I think it was worth every penny.
The guide Raheem was extremely knowledgeable about the subject matter and was great at dispensing information in a way that made him very enjoyable to listen to while sampling the fresh, delicious and wonderfully arranged dishes.
The staff was courteous and friendly and saw to it that everyone had what they needed. My girlfriend and I both had a great time and I definitely plan on doing ALL of these tours over the course of Spring and Summer.
I also think this would be a wonderful way to show someone from out of town a great time.
thank you very much! |

| This is the second tour we have gone on with this company. As with the first, this was most enjoyable and we will plan others in the future. Raheem was so personable! |
