Summary: Very pleased
Comment: I was very excited when this came in the mail. For under $14, you really get a lot, and everything in the kit is pretty good quality. I do have to say, I think the reason the price is so low is because of a manufacturing defect: The center drawer is glued closed, and you have to pry it open the get the book out. (However, once you finally get the book out, you probably won't want to put it back in, so no big deal, right?) The chopsticks are big and sturdy, and feel good in your hands. The dipping trays are pretty (not the ones shown on the top of the box...they look more like ceramic dishes with a painted design...very tasteful.) The rolling mat is nothing fancy; just the usual bamboo mat. You also get two chopstick rests made of stone. My favorite thing was the book. It is not very big, but full of great information. It gives you quite a few sushi combinations to try, as well as how to make authentic sushi rice and different kinds of soup. There is advice on serving, eating, and cutting. It is a very well-written book, even though it is small. The color photos are full-page and very professional. It is well worth $14, so I would get this, even if you decide to purchase another kit...you will NOT be disappointed.

Summary: Awesome Birthday Present!
Comment: I bought this for a birthday present. I sincerely contemplated keeping it for myself. Getting a sushi rolling mat for this price is a bargain by itself. The rest of the kit appears great although I haven't had a chance to test it.

Summary: Sushi Deluxe Book and Kit
Comment: This kit comes with the 80-page book Sushi Made Easy by Kumfoo Wong, a 9" x 10" bamboo rolling mat, four sets of black and gold plastic chopsticks, four painted ceramic chopstick rests, a plastic 5-piece rice mold, and two decorated ceramic dishes for dipping sauces.
The box in which all this comes is sturdy and decorative, and is designed to store everything. The top of the box lifts off, and a hinged door on the side of the box opens, revealing several drawers, which hold everything.
The book that comes with this kit, Sushi Made Easy, by Kumfoo Wong, is an introductory guide to preparing and presenting sushi. The book is targeted to beginners, and at only 80 pages, is completely manageable. Sushi Made Easy provides an introduction to the more prominent sushi ingredients and kitchen utensils and equipment needed, as well as advice on selecting suitable fish to be used raw. There is a great deal of emphasis here on appearance and presentation. Sushi Made Easy covers nigiri-sushi, sushi rolls, hand rolls, rolled sweet omelet, and soups. The book is fully-illustrated, and features step-by-step instructions for making each recipe.
Making sushi with this set was a fairly simple, intuitive process. The bamboo rolling mat, which is the primary reason we bought the kit, is big enough, and it gets the job done. Everything included appears to be of good quality.
The Sushi Deluxe Book and Kit are an excellent, inexpensive introduction for anyone who wants to make sushi at home. This set also makes an excellent gift.

Summary: very nice gift
Comment: I bought this as a gift to my girlfriend. We made sushi only once so far but it came out surprisingly good. The book has very useful info and tips. The only "bad" thing is that the dishes inside could have been a little nicer. I accompanied the kit with a sushi serving set I bought elsewhere.
