Bloem Foodhouse

I ordered here twice by phone call. Very mixed feelings:

The owner/manager knows about gluten, and seemed to take things quite seriously. They had thought about cross contamination beforehand, and his communication was a green flag for me. Also, unlike almost all Sushi places in Venlo, they actually list ingredients on the online menu.

The first time order was fine. However! The second time ordering I called again, checked in, he reassured me, but they sent me sushi with Surimi in it! (Which contains like 50% wheat). Of course I called, and he apologized profusely, and said a colleague had mixed up the order. They sent me a new box right away, and I didn't eat anything yet, but really the damage was kind of already done.

Pro: they seem to care (?) Con: the care is not turned into precaution.
