Blue Island Sushi

I went to this place a few times in the past with no problems. The food is average but affordable and quick, the lady servers were friendly. HOWEVER.... Last Sunday 3/1/09 I went in to eat at 7:30pm and got violently ill with food poisoning. I ate dishes with no plastic covering on them therefore no time control on how long they have been spinning around on the carousel. Who knows how long they were sitting out at room temperature, my guess was all day. Food is only supposed to be out at 40-100F for 2 hours max without bacteria growing. I puked and had diarrhea all night long. I took several days to recover from the disgusting episode. I went online to the Public Health Seattle and King County Web site and typed in their name. I was appalled by the results and the RED violations they received in the past. I tried to talk with the manager about it- she told me that only one person complained about food sickness before (how many does it take before someone really gets hurt and has permanent damage?) DO YOURSELF A FAVOR AND CHECK THE PUBLIC RECORDS FOR FOOD INSPECTION BEFORE YOU EAT THERE.
