Chinese Buffet...
Another frustrating but productive day at my nephew's (rented) house clearing furniture before the end of the month. We had a truck stop by for donations. They were picky and only took the prime items... metal framed computer desks with glass tops, wine fridge, bicycle and one table. That left lots of other things. My niece called up some social media link like Craig's list and one woman came by for the baby tricycle and some laundry bins. A young couple took 2 parsons tables, carpet and will return tomorrow for some mirrors and possibly another table.It was late and my wife suggested sushi. I found a place via GPS on the way home listed as a Chinese Buffet with sushi. While most of the food was tasty, I didn't like how everything was in a glaze sauce. I avoided some foods as my guess was they were sugar coated. The fried Pollock was really good and so was the sirloin pieces.
Priced less than the buffet we normally go to, it was an okay experience... at first!
Mentioned in a few of my blogs is the danger of MSG as 'we don't get along' very well.
Getting home wasn't an issue... staying awake was. I crashed in the chair and later landed on the bed. I wasn't alone in the ill effects as my wife crashed on the sofa. We both had headaches and dizziness. It's more than 5 hours later and we haven't recovered.
Knowing what I know now, it's amazing this restaurant got 4 out of 5 stars on Yelp!
I don't have a Yelp! account... but if I did my review would probably read: Dinner and vertigo $11.95.

That will force them to reveal whether they use it or not.
One restaurant (with posted warnings) will charge extra for food on your plate that's not consumed.
Considering the effect we had, that would be nearly everything.
I insist, there won't be a next time.
Me too, if it's done right.
There's a place a mile from my house in Miami like that. When a hurry, we do take out and they weigh the food and charge accordingly.
Specialty foods like shrimp and lobster have a higher rate. So those who fill the container with steamed shrimp get charged more.
