Visited on 12/7/24 around 3pm PT. I had heard good things about this place & decided to stop for a late lunch. I ordered a 5 piece hand roll set to go, which came with miso soup. I ordered yellowtail, crab, negitoro, and tuna handrolls. After coming home I proceeded to try the yellowtail. I noticed that the fish tasted flaked, almost as like a canned tuna consistency. I didn’t think much of it, but thought it was strange as I’ve had yellowtail hand rolls elsewhere and didn’t encounter that before. That was probably my first mistake and I should have stopped eating… I then tried the negitoro and was surprised to find it tasted rather oily. In fact, too oily and it was rather unpleasant but again, I didn’t think anything of it. Tuna rolls tasted normal. Miso soup was fine, if a bit on the saltier side. 30 minutes later I was doubled over in bed with sweats and stomach cramps. I started feeling nauseous & contacted the restaurant to let them know what was happening and to ask for a refund. They were kind and refunded me the $32 or so I had spent, but they also texted me to go to a doctor and at first made it sound like I must have gotten sick elsewhere. They said to find out “what’s really happening.” 😒 Anyway, the evening was rough. Multiple bathroom trips due to diarrhea, sweaty body, had to rinse off in the shower to get my bearings straight. I didn’t expect this to happen & I’m sad because the place had otherwise rave reviews. As I reflect on the sushi, I’m wondering if the rice was rancid & the fish was spoiled, and perhaps I just didn’t notice due to the flavorings and dipping in soy sauce? It’s a shame. I should have stopped after the strange texture of the first roll, but I felt like I had spent good money on lunch that I shouldn’t waste it. Be careful if you decide to try this spot. Maybe avoid altogether. | Symptoms: Nausea, Diarrhea, Stomach Pain, Cramps, Chills, Sweating
