FOB Sushi Bar has closed its doors “until further notice” after Keith Lee responded to concerns he ate a worm during his review of the restaurant.

On November 10, Keith Lee posted a video of himself trying FOB Sushi Bar, a restaurant based in Seattle, Washington.

During this video, one of the pieces of salmon he was tasting seemed to move on its own when he held it up to the camera, sparking disgust and concern from fans worried that the popular TikToker ate a worm.

FOB Sushi Bar responded to the situation, saying the meat may have moved because of the pressure Keith was putting on the chopsticks.

“At FOB Sushi, we are committed to the highest health and safety standards in order to provide clean, fresh and safe food to every customer,” they said.

“As far as the video is concerned, the movement observed in the fish could result from natural elasticity or the pressure of rods applied to its structure.”

After talk of the alleged worm spread TikTokKeith Lee uploaded a video sharing his thoughts and news that someone who allegedly visited FOB the day after him was hospitalized after eating his food.

“The only reason I’m making this video is because I just saw a video of someone who left the day after us, and now he’s in the hospital. Just me, my character and who I am as a person…I’m going to come out and I’m going to say something about it,” he said before sending his “heart and blessings” to the person.

Keith then addressed FOB’s initial statement, calling for more accountability from the restaurant in the process.

“If someone is sitting in the hospital and something moves in the food, I absolutely think you have to take responsibility for that. For the restaurant to issue a statement saying I’m holding the chopsticks and the sushi moved, I personally don’t agree with that,” he said.

“I’ve eaten sushi a thousand times, and I’ve held sushi a thousand different ways, and never once have I seen sushi behave this way. This isn’t me saying it was a worm or parasite, I’m just saying it’s nothing I did on my end. I was literally eating as a customer. As a customer, I shouldn’t be blamed if something moves.

Keith went on to reiterate that he was aware of the dangers of eating sushi and other raw foods – and that he had been feeling fine since the exam took place.

Shortly after Keith posted his video to his account, FOB Sushi Bar revealed on Instagram that it was closing two of its locations in response to “recent food safety concerns.”

“In response to recent food safety concerns, we have decided to close our Seattle and Bellevue FOB Sushi locations until further notice. Your health and safety are our highest priorities. We are conducting a thorough investigation to remedy the situation and will take all necessary measures to prevent such a situation from happening again,” they said.

“To our community, we are deeply grateful for your years of support and sincerely apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused. We remain committed to providing you with the highest quality sushi.

Keith has not responded to the news of the restaurant’s temporary closure.

This is not the first time a restaurant has had to issue a statement following a review from Keith Lee. He spoke out against poor customer service at a restaurant in Louisiana last June, encouraging them to respond.
