I went in at approx. 5pm and bought a spicy tuna/poke combo bowl from their "fresh" food display in the back of the store. I ate it all immediately after purchasing and within an hour I had an upset stomach. At about 8pm, I vomited up the contents of the tuna bowl, which made me feel immediately better, but I still had to rest and go to bed early with a bad headache that lasted through the night. I also woke up several times due to chills. I was better by the next day.This is actually not the first time I've gotten sick from eating either poke or sushi(any sushi with raw fish). This was the last straw for me as I am personally, permanently banning consumption of all uncooked meats in hawaii as well as banning all visits to local drive inns and diners (ex. like-like, rainbow, those "plate-lunch" places that charge you 15-20 dollars for a plate that looks and tastes like high school cafeteria food... not sure why this type of stuff is so popular here) because Hawaii businesses obviously do not care enough about health and safety regulations to ensure you won't get sick from eating their food. I have been sick from eating out here more times in hawaii than anywhere else in the world. I kept making the mistake of going back because I either couldn't afford much, or I just assumed my case was a one-off thing. But now I know it's a very predictable pattern and I know what kinds of establishments to avoid if I don't want to die of dysentery here... | Symptoms: Nausea, Vomiting, Headache, Chills
