What People are Saying
“Derek created an amazing experience for us. The quality of his work was exceptional—fresh ingredients, delicious sauces, and incredible sushi creations. Having lived in Okinawa, Japan, for five years, I consider myself a bit of a sushi snob, and Derek’s creations were truly legit! We can’t wait to enjoy an evening with him again.”
– Eric P.
“Derek’s sushi is exceptional. The rolls are generously packed, ensuring you always get great value, unlike many restaurant portions. His creativity shines through in the unique combinations he crafts—some I’ve never even seen in traditional sushi spots. As a dedicated sushi enthusiast, from classic to adventurous rolls, I can confidently say Derek’s creations never disappoint!”
– Tim K.
“I met Derek about a year ago, and we hit it off right away! He’s fun, knowledgeable, and incredibly laid-back. But when it comes to sushi, he’s nothing short of a master. The portions he serves are far more generous than you’d typically find, and my family and I were absolutely blown away by the flavors, consistency, and variety he offered. Each roll seemed to outdo the last, with Derek somehow managing to keep bringing fresh, fantastic creations to the table. It was an unforgettable experience!”
