Hong Kong Buffet, North McCormick Boulevard, Chicago, IL, USA
2 years ago •reported by user-ttznw952
Food from a local Chinese buffet All 4 of me, my best friend, her boyfriend and her brother all went to eat at this Chinese place, and have not eaten the same foods in the days prior to this. Within a few hours we all got lethargic,
weak and then violently sick. The place was sketchy to begin with because of the quality of food we saw and the self serve pop machine, as well as the sushi sitting under a heat lamp and the food looked rather stale. We had paid before they let us enter so there really wasn't a way to turn back regardless so we are anyway, reluctantly. On the way out we noticed the gumballs in the gumball machine were so old that they had sun-bleach fade all over them... Definitely was a sign that we shouldn't have eaten there.
