| - Be careful -- 3 of us got Food Poisoning!
Took my family of 5 (2 seniors, 2 adults and 1 youth) to World Buffet for lunch on Saturday 3/7/2015. This is our first time to be there. We arrived around noon, and it was not very crowded, service was fine. There were not as many choices there (compared to Journey on the East side of the town), but they looked OK. I had some veggie salad, noodle soup from noodle bar, a few pieces of sushi, some stir fry etc - not a heavy eater, while I ate a little more than I usually do. Check out was nice and quick, till that time, we felt we had a good lunch.
That afternoon, we all felt very thirsty, which is a sign that the food we had for lunch likely had lots of MSG inside. Well, this is not new, we just had more water. However, at about 1:30am on Sunday 3/8, I woke from sleep and felt sick. As soon as I sat on the toilet, I knew something was terribly wrong -- I started to sweat like never before. My entire cotton PJ was soaked, and my sweat was literally dripping to the floor. And I felt so dizzy/lightheaded that if I didn't try my 120% best to keep alert, I would have passed out. I wanted to call 911, but wasn't able to stand up to grab my phone, nor could I yell out for help. Then I started to feel nausea and after vomiting, things started to go back to normal. The episode lasted for about 1 hr -- I thought I was going to die... Never felt this scary in my life before.
Called my doctor at 5am and the on-call physician said most likely I had food poisoning. Since I skipped dinner on Sat, the lunch becomes super suspicious. And when I eventually got up the next day, I heard my parents were both sick as well -- similar symptoms, but (luckily) not as severe as I did.
I called the restaurant owner on Sunday to inform him about what happened to us. He told me his location never any complain before, and we were the only ones. He felt I got sick because there were food I was allergic to without my knowledge, even I told him I am NOT allergic to anything. He said he will give us discount when we visit them again (am I going again??), and I told him the purpose of my call is to tell him we got really sick after eating at his restaurant.
So in case you are thinking to pay a visit to World Buffet, my experience is here for you to reference. Maybe it's an isolated incident, but it was so scary that I would think twice before I go...
