Goodbye! and best wishes in your recovery

It's possible to get food poisoning from Korean Japanese food. Vomiting and nausea are the most commonly reported symptoms of KoJa Kitchen food poisoning and a commonly mentioned item is the original KoJa. Recently a location has received multiple reports and was cited for high-risk violations.

KoJa Kitchen Claimed

Order was delivered through Uber eats:

Ordered the beef bowl and kamakazi fries which has beef on it as well. The fries tasted good but when I went to eat the beef bowl it tasted kinda weird. The rice and salad tasted fine but the beef was... See More gamey and gross so I didn’t eat much.

A few hours later I started to get an upset stomach and nauseated and my stomach started making a lot of noise. I ended up getting diarrhea, stomach cramps, upset stomach, a bit of dizziness, and a killer headache that day which carried over into the next day. Thankfully, I have a strong stomach so I’m not someone who ever vomits. We shall see how I feel tomorrow. | Symptoms: Nausea, Diarrhea, Cramps, Headache, Dizziness

A large group of about 16 coworkers went out to Lunch there on Thursday September 19th 2019 and more than half the group got food poisoning. A week later and some of us are still struggling with the symptoms. Most everyone ordered the Original KoJa. | Symptoms: Diarrhea, Nausea, Vomiting See Less

I ordered a Beef Bowl 2 days ago and I strongly believe that I got food poisoning from it. About 6 hours after eating it I started getting a fever and chills, so I went to bed to try to sleep; about 6 hours after that I... See More threw up; another few hours and I had diarrhea. The next day was spent mostly sleeping. I also managed to pass whatever I had picked up to my wife, albeit in a slightly altered form.

I have not had any trouble with other Koja Kitchen locations in the Bay Area. This was my first time ordering from the KoJa Kitchen in the Westfield mall though. I did see the server disinfecting the counter as I was waiting to order (they actually said that was what they were doing), which should have alerted me. I wonder if someone else had also reported to them directly that they had recently had food poisoning? | Symptoms: Diarrhea, Fever, Vomiting, Chills

Illness onset was spread out so perhaps it is a stomach bug? Unpleasant nonetheless, hope you all feel better soon!

Same as me a couple days later. They must not be storing it properly.

Are these reported to the local health dept?

Hi, thanks for your comment. About your question, we usually send the report details along with your contact information to the Public Health Department, so you may hear from them doing some follow up if they decide to investigate the case further, however, we will need a valid email address or phone number so they can contact you if it's needed. Additionally, we will let you know if more reports come in for that restaurant.

Have a good afternoon.

Had a chicken and bacon wrap, had this weird bit in it, the chicken felt chewy and off, and was slightly pink. I’ve had food poisoning since then, I’ve seen my doctor who thinks it is food poisoning. | Symptoms: Nausea, Diarrhea, Vomiting See Less
