I decided to try this place out and I had their lunch special where you pick three rolls. I had the spicy yellowtail, shrimp tempura and chicken tempura. Im a regular sushi eater but I usually like to stick with the tempura ones. I’m guessing the poisoning... See More came from the yellowtail. After about an hour or so of eating the sushi I became very bloated and had a minor stomachache but then after time went by the pain progressed. I had terrible PAINFUL stomach cramps and diarrhea. It made me very gassy as well. Kept having to RUN to the toilet. The worst part was the pain in my stomach that would wake me up from my sleep, almost brought tears to my eyes. I almost felt like I could vomit from the pain alone, and from wanting this pain out of my stomach. Just when I thought the pain was gone and I released it all, a new wave of pain came flooding in. I WILL NEVER TRY THIS PLACE AGAIN THIS EXPERIENCED LITERALLY SCARRED ME | Symptoms: Nausea, Diarrhea, Cramps, Gas, Bloating, Stomach Pain See Less
