Sushi Class on today's Groupon

My husband has been looking for a sushi class for months now (not that there's a shortage of them around here, he's just procrastinated on making a decision on one) and then today's Groupon came along:

Is anyone familiar with I WISH? My husband doesn't want to be a sushi chef or anything, but if they're not even worth the $25, then we won't do it.

Here's the place the classes are generally held at:

I don't know anything about I WISH, but I wouldn't expect much from a sushi class held at a jazz club.

Looks like all they will be teaching is how to make makis...

Yeah, this was our concern too. Of course, that could just be the venue. Who knows who they have teaching it.

Does anyone have a sushi class they'd recommend?

Haven't been myself but friends who attended The Fish Guy's class said it was good.

Hi abe_froeman,

I'm familar with the GroupOn Twisted Sushi class. My wife bought the class for me as a gift. She had once before bought me a class from Patrick Chabert, in Wheeling...it was excellent!

I made it to the Twisted Sushi class a couple of weeks ago, kinda. It's located in a large wharehouse building, that is actually a decent sized kitchen for rent per event. They overbooked us, my friend and I had absolutely NO room to do anything...I'm not sure what had happened with the schedule. We asked if we could come back at another time which didn't seem to be a problem.

During the time I was in the kitchen I was paying attention to what was going on. I'm not sure what the level your looking for...but what I saw was a complete disappointment. I was hoping to really excell my sushi into another level. They were making rolls with precooked chicken out of a store bought bag. Need I go further?

It did however look like everyone was having a great time though. I suppose it's all what you're looking for.
