| every part of the meal was delicious and the host was interesting, upbeat, comfortable, down to earth, friendly and a great speaker. I would definitely recommend it to friends however I don't normally like sitting with strangers which we luckily didn't have to do because there was enough space in the restaurant. |

| We did the sushi tour with Raheem on Sat May 31st and absolutely loved it! Great presentation by Raheem explaining the history of sushi, methods of prep, ingredients and what makes good sushi. Ate foods I never would have dared try without a guide, many that sounded awful but tasted great. Pacing of talk and eating was just right and made for a full evening of entertainment while leaving time for a grocery shopping trip at Trader Joe's a few blocks away. Experienced high end stuff like REAL wasabi and top shelf Saki. Learned that I DO like saki when it's the good stuff :+} |

| My husband and I booked The Art of Sushi for our final night in NYC after being there for a week. My husband is a chef and a true "foodie". We both found the night both delicious and very entertaining and enlightening. We learned a lot and would highly recommend this event to anyone who loves to experience dinner not just eat it. |

| The meal was delicious, above and beyond the norm. We all had a great time enjoying both the company of friends and meeting new. The way that the flavors of the food and drink mixed and complemented each other really says to me that someone planned meticiously so that the experience would be extremely satisfying.
It worked! |

| 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. |

| The Sushi Tour was fantastic! From the Tapas through to the dessert, every course was amazing and the Japanese beer and sake perfectly complimented the food. Raheem's knowledge of the food, it's preparation and Japanese culture really enhanced the experience and we were pleasantly surprised at how plentiful the servings were. We are so looking forward to the Chinatown Tour! |

| We really enjoyed the experience of the Japanese Tapas. I highly recommend adding on the beverages, the beer and sake greatly complement the food and complete the whole experience. Our guide was incredibly knowledgeable and shared his experiences of the Japanese culture. Having just traveled to Japan the previous summer, these authentic Japanese courses were a reminder of the cuisine we experienced there. Each course was fantastic and had something new to learn about and try. The explanation behind how each dish is made and why it is presented in the way it is was fascinating. I highly recommend this activity! Kumpai! |
