IF YOU HAVE A FOOD ALLERGY DO NOT EAT HERE

After ordering sushi for lunch today I explained to the hostess who took my order that I have a severe shellfish allergy and asked her to please communicate that to the chef and that even cross contamination can be deadly to me. She tried telling me that they had just opened and the mats were all clean so it wouldn't be a problem. I then told her that I would feel much better if she would please tell the chef. She laughed at me and proceeded to laugh while walking to the sushi bar to tell the sushi chef working that I had a severe shellfish allergy, the chef working also found this to be hilarious. So Mr. Sushi staff, if you're reading this allow me to educate you on Anaphylaxis. IT CAN AND DOES KILL PEOPLE. Your air way completely closes and you can no longer breath. So the next time you have a customer who tells you that they have a food allergy, laughing at them probably isn't the smartest response.
