Adults Going to a Raw Fish Restaurant on Son's Birthday Who Can't Eat Raw Fish... "We'll Order Sweet and Sour Pork Delivery"

Family Visits Sashimi Restaurant for Son's Birthday
"No Outside Food Allowed" Request Denied

A story was posted about a customer who got angry and left the restaurant after the owner refused the customer's request to order tangsuyuk for delivery at a sashimi restaurant. On the 10th, a post titled 'Refused tangsuyuk delivery at a sashimi restaurant' was uploaded to an online community. Mr. A, who runs a small sashimi restaurant, received four customers on the afternoon of the 8th. There were three adults and a boy who appeared to be in the first or second grade of elementary school.

They took a seat inside the restaurant and ordered rockfish sashimi, then suddenly asked for the restaurant's address. Then they made an unexpected request to Mr. A. He said, "A customer who seemed to be the boy's mother said, 'I want to order tangsuyuk delivery here,' and I explained that since our restaurant is a sashimi place handling raw fish, there is a high risk of food safety issues, so outside food is not allowed."

Despite this explanation, the customer insisted, "It's my son's birthday, so we came out to eat, and while the adults want sashimi, my son wants to eat tangsuyuk," emphasizing, "My son cannot eat raw fish at all, so we want to order tangsuyuk for delivery." Mr. A said, "As a parent myself, I understand that feeling, but I told them it would be difficult due to fairness with other tables. Then the boy's father seemed angry and said, 'Is this the only sashimi restaurant? Let's just leave,' told his family to get up, and left the restaurant."

Mr. A lamented, "I also have a young child, so I tried to understand what the child would eat, but because of the nature of a sashimi restaurant, I had no choice but to refuse," adding, "Because it was food for a child, I feel uneasy about it." Netizens who read this story responded, "If they came out to eat for their son's birthday, they should have gone to a Chinese restaurant that sells tangsuyuk from the start," "Trying to bring outside food into a restaurant that handles raw fish is wrong in itself," and "It's not just any restaurant, but a raw fish place, so outside food is a bit much."

Meanwhile, the reason for prohibiting outside food is that food poisoning or other issues may occur from consuming food not prepared by the restaurant. For this reason, most restaurants prohibit bringing in outside food or delivery.
