| We both had a fantastic evening! Raheem was wonderful and really made this event worthwhile. He is extremely enthusiastic and knowledgeable and the sushi was delicious. I would definitely recommend this to anyone with an interest in learning about (or just eating) sushi. Thank you for a lovely time!! |

| I went with a couple of friends and we had a fantastic time! The food was great and the host was full of information and he kept it fun! Anyone looking to try some great new Japanese food and learn about the culture in a fun and relaxed way should check this out! I'm excited to try a different food tour! |

| Very informative. There was a Japanese visitor in the group and even she has learned a great deal which she hadn't known before. Food was delicious and definitely enough. |

| This is my 3rd tour in New York with your group and, as always, it was excellent! The food was delicious, the restaurant had the perfect atmosphere for the event, and our guide was outstanding! I can't wait to come back for another! |

| First off, the food was fantastic. The menu was chosen well, and covered a broad rage of textures and tastes. Even the more seemingly mundane dishes (like chicken or tofu) were elevated by some masterful cooking. I've never been partial to raw squid, and this was the first time I encountered raw squid I would happily reorder, now that I know how it can and should taste like in the hands of experts.
You do get a fair amount of food to, so come hungry...
Our host Raheem was delightful (and knowledgeable); and his enthusiasm and passion for food certainly added to the experience.
It may not seem like the essential NY experience... but I did not regret choosing to spare some of my precious 'touristy' time for this. I would probably have gone back for more had I the time. |

| This event was awesome. The food was great and we had plenty of it.
The host was very knowledgeable about the food and the tradition behind the food.
The drinks were great. We had a blast. We will do this tour again and also other tours by this provider. It was well worth the money |

| 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! |

| 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 purchased this activity for my boyfriend's birthday--we are both big sushi fans--and we were both very impressed. Our host Raheem was very friendly and knowledgeable, and the restaurant served some killer sushi. The icing on the cake was the sake. I'm not a huge fan of sake and thus was not too excited about the prospect of drinking it with my meal, but the two sakes served were delicious. I have told other friends about this activity and will most likely go again with some of them. The only downside is the 5:00pm start time--difficult to get there right after work--but I do understand that they have to do it during off-hours. All in all, a very pleasant experience. |
