Disappointing and unsafe experience - think twice before signing up! I feel compelled to share my profoundly disappointing and harrowing experience at this institute during the Professional Sushi Chef Course I & II, 2022. What was supposed to be a dream come true turned into a gruesome nightmare rife with discrimination, racism, misogyny, hostility, and harassment, all because of Mr. Andy Matsuda, whose chef credentials I seriously question. From the beginning, Mr. Andy displayed a shocking disregard for diversity, openly commenting on discrimination in Mexican culture and forbidding the use of my native Spanish simply because he couldn't understand it. His unclear instructions in the English language only added to the students' confusion, leaving the entire class struggling to follow. Adding to the horror, Mr. Andy displayed a completely misogynistic attitude towards me, subjecting me to hostility and bullying while turning a blind eye to similar mistakes made by other Asian students showing preferences for his ethnicity. This demeaning macho behavior shattered my confidence and made the learning environment toxic. Aside from the aberrational behavior, the lack of professionalism throughout the course was disheartening. Mr. Andy did not complete the curriculum, resulting in a significant loss of time and resources. The crucial trip to the fish market, an integral part of the program, was conveniently canceled under the pretext of the pandemic, depriving us of valuable learning experiences. One of the teaching mistakes was when at the last minute, he showed us how to prepare a crustacean or fish, he prepared a small piece and distributed it to everyone to try the taste, and there the class stayed, without practicing it and teaching it when we already had to make the daily sushis and clean up. Just an inappropriate practice and many were unaware of that class. In addition, poor food storage practices endangered our health, with fresh fish carefully mixed with old, creating potential harm for students. My concerns about the condition of the fish were ignored, highlighting Mr. Andy's lack of responsibility. The disregard for basic hygiene was shocking. Mr. Andy blatantly reused the same unsanitary cutting board and knife for raw fish, putting us at risk of cross-contamination. His complete neglect of him in this fundamental aspect of sushi preparation was deeply troubling. To add insult to injury, we were served fish past its prime, and on multiple occasions, parasites were found in the bluefin tuna and other fish we were expected to consume. Such unprofessional and dangerous practices should never be allowed in any culinary institution. The situation worsened when several students became ill from the contaminated food, and we were forced to throw out the daily dishes. On the other hand, Mr. Andy abused his position by unfairly charging two Latino classmates for missed classes, in order to obtain their certificates while the Asian students did not face the consequences for the same. Such biases and favoritism have no place in any educational setting. As a former sushi teacher in Mexico looking to improve my skills, I am embarrassed to have studied at this institution. My performance led me to take a Sushi Master course from a renowned school in Japan with Michelin star chefs to validate my skills. If you are wondering why I am writing this until now, it is because I was threatened, and now I am sharing my experience to gather more evidence from fellow students. Given these shocking revelations, I urge prospective students to think twice before enrolling in this institute. The lack of integrity and concern for the welfare of the students raises serious questions about their credibility. Look for reputable institutions committed to professionalism and safety to ensure a fruitful learning journey.
