Review of Aikawa Sushi Restaurant

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!
