My daughter and wife got food poisoning from Sushi Oyama in Burnaby!!!

[msjboy]

I tried them before ( as well as the one in poco) nothing really outstanding to me but I will not go there not to take a chance. I like Sushi Garden & Noa's ( was Sushi House) in the neighbourhood where you and i live.

PS That building was originally a funeral home... then PJ Burgers, and a few other restaraunts...hope you and family are doing recovering

Sorry to hear that Anthony
Hope everything is better by now.
I will definately not ever go there and will tell my friends.
Thanks for the heads up

Thankfully, both Irene and Felicia are now fully recovered although my daughter lost a few pounds that weekend and she was slim to begin with. Now she won't eat sushi, but that's understandable.

The only silver lining is that my 4 year old Isabella (who LOVES California rolls) was staying at my parents house and the little 4 years old neighbour boy who saved our place from the fire didn't get the California roll. They would have ended up in the hospital for sure. I tried convincing Felicia to go to the hospital several times but she refused and so I had my mom and two aunts (all retired nurses from St. Vincents & VGH) come over to check on her and we followed their advice for home treatment to the T. My sister and cousin went 3 weeks earlier and told us after this happened that they both thought quality was way down, the sushi tasted a bit off and was not well rolled (i.e. falling apart).

Sorry to hear and glad they're doing better now! That's not a pleasant way to spend a weekend

You sure it was from that meal though? I just read on Webmd that food poisoning symptoms can start in as little as one hour in the case of a staph and up to 10 days later. My GF and I just had a bout of food poisoning in Asia but we narrowed it down to a meal 36 hours earlier. 20 minutes just seems incredibly fast

I hope Felicia gets her taste for sushi back! Mmmmsushi

Really difficult to pin it on the sushi unless you've had someone identify the strain of bacteria that caused the illness.

Seems like ti could have been anything your wife and daughter both ate throughout the week.


Here is a bit of info from Mayoclinic...

Regardless of where they caught it, I'm glad to know they have recovered. Send my regards to your wife and daughter.

As a safety precaution, I won't be heading to that establishment any time soon and will advise my friends/family to avoid it. I have caught food poisoning before from undercooked chicken and it is NO FUN.
