Joyce Chen 3-Piece Sushi Making Kit with Sushi Roller

I bought this little kit for the bamboo mat. I couldn't locate it in my local stores so I purchased this as a larger group of items with free shipping. The spoon that comes with it is cheap wood; as for the price you would expect that. It takes on colors and stains. The bamboo mat is of good quality with no problems. I wrap mine in saran wrap when using to make life much easier. The pamphlet is a neat additive, but a book is recommended to be used then this pamphlet to get started.

I experimented with making sushi this past weekend, and used this set to do so. I used the rice paddle to turn and vinegar the rice, as recommended in "Sushi For Dummies." The mat made rolling the maki rolls a breeze - I was expecting it to be MUCH more difficult than it was. I would recommend that you purchase more than one mat if you are not making sushi alone. There were two of us and it would have been more fun (and productive) to each have a rolling mat.Word of caution though: If you are making sushi for the first time, consult a reference other than the pamphlet included with this set. It is not detailed enough to use for a first sushi attempt!

First time making sushi, and I've been addicted to making it ever since! The mat does what its supposed to do, I see no reason to spend more money on a "better" sushi mat.Interesting tip for those that like to make sushi with the rice on the outside: Most people wrap their mat in saran-wrap so the rice doesn't stick. The problem with this is that the saran-wrapping part is actually sort of a pain and often comes off in the rolling process. My solution: Get a big, ziploc freezer bag and put your mat in it. Not only does it do the same thing, its easier to deal with and never comes out of the bag. Also, you don't have to waste plastic because you can just wash the outside of the ziploc bag.

I wanted a short-handled bamboo spoon, but I didn't see it offered individually, just in this sushi set. I'm not a sushi fan, so I doubt I'll ever make it. The bamboo mat may come in handy for something else but I haven't used it for anything yet. The spoon is fine, but how hard is it to mess up a spoon? In hindsight, I suppose I could have bought a long-handled spoon (for less than this set) and cut down the handle.

While the spoon does feel very light, and I think it is just a mater of time before I break it, I expected as much based on price and other reviews. The mat works great, and the instruction book is helpful. With these things I was able to successfully make my sushi so I am happy with my purchase and would recommend this if you need a sushi mat.

I got this for Christmas and was surprises at how great the quality is (compared to the price), the wooden (bamboo) paddle is very sturdy and well constructed, and the Sushi Mat is well tied together and holds up perfectly. The book included gives basic information for rolling sushi, however, the internet or full book with pictures might help me out better since I am new to this.In the end I am amazed at the quality and strength these items have, and look forward to many years with these items rolling my own sushi!!!

i bought two of these kits, one for me and one for the girlfriend so we could make sushi together, its a nice kit and i suppose if you actually knew how to make sushi it would work fairly well, but for the inexperienced first timer its not as easy as you would think. i have since bought a sushi bazooka and that thing definitely makes it easier,

How in the world this was ever priced for more than $10 is beyond me. It's a simple bamboo mat and spoon. Big deal. When I bought this, I got it for around $10 and it was like 90% off. What in the world do they think they are selling? It rolls my sushi rolls okay, but so does good old plastic wrap or parchment paper

I bought this because it was inexpensive and functional for what I wanted to do - try making sushi for the first time. As a beginner, I'm not picky about my tools and I frankly don't know enough to recognize where it's lacking or excelling, but for what I used it for, it did the job. The sushi came out fine and the mat and spoon were both in good condition upon delivery. I like how useful it was for the price.

Great little sushi kit. I needed a rice spoon, but I thought I'd pick up this combo, so my wife can also roll sushi with me in the kitchen. It's always fun to make and roll your own sushi, so having the extra bamboo roller has just made making dinner fun.

Great product. Came with an instruction manual with directions to make the perfect sushi! I just needed the mat because mine got wet and went moldy, and this was a great price! Definitely recommend it!

What can I say its a spoon and a mat, works as expected.

Cheap simple effective. Good enough quality to wash and cut on. Don't need any more or any less. Makes great rolls.
