We have been going to Kushiyu for years and watched it go down the drain recently with a new manager. The last visit put us over the top and we will NEVER return. On Saturday night, 5 of us from 2 households met at Kushiyu. On Sunday, I am throwing up profusely and get a call from the other family asking if I was sick. We realized 3 out of 5 of us were contaminated with bacteria or a virus. And it was the albacore because only us 3 had it. So, we call the restaurant and say we'd appreciate a credit back to our card after this incident. This rude new manager (Shawn?) says - ""Bring me the hospital bill and I'll consider it, I have to go now"". He did not even bother asking what we ate so he can avoid others getting sick!!! This place has become a madhouse for money and service has gone to hell. I know of several other establishments in the san fernando valley with better sushi nowadays. Needless to say, I will NEVER return to kushiyu again. Hopefully this saves someone money and a lot of anger by avoiding Kushiyu altogether. Meanwhile, I wonder when my next bout of throwing up will be coming :-(
