Aikawa Sushi Restaurant

I got sick because of Sashimi.

My girlfriend told me that their sushi is very ordinary comparing to other places like Kyomi.

They didn't have good services either.

Mostly, they were busy with their old customes.

Definitly, Aikawa is overrated.

I had been going there for years without any issues, I had never been sick and trusted they took every precaution possible. I always get a chef's creation andd they make it gf for me. A few weeks ago, we went to pick up some sushi as we often do, and when I got home ( I live about 35 min away, but as a celiac, I'm willing to drive for good and safe sushi) I noticed that althought my order was labeled gf, my sushi was covered in spice. I figured maybe it was something new, but as I was about to take the first bite, I noticed my sushi was made with imitation crab; which is not gf...I called and the staff was vvery apologetic because indeed, their crab stick is not gf...they offered to make me new sushi but I wasn't confident anymore, so they reimbursed me, which I appreciated. I could have been very sick. I'm not sure I'd do a pick up again without openig the box and checking each sushi before leaving...but I did go there for a few years without any issues..maybe a new chef had just started? Proceed with caution!
