Waterview Japanese Restaurant — Restaurant in New South Wales

4 days now after eating here I still have severe stomach cramps, diarrhoea and vomiting. I purchased chicken and rice takeaway and had to return the rice because it smelt so bad. The owner chased me down with a fresh rice explaining the power had been off for 24hrs (they still decided to sell their off food anyway) and that was the reason the rice was off. Well to me that’s blatantly admitting that they were selling food that had not been refrigerated for 24hrs including the chicken i paid for with the rice which I’d already eaten before I was informed that the power had been off for 24hrs. Within 30 mins I had a fever and severe stomach cramps and spent the whole weekend in my bathroom. Thanks for a lovely weekend sitting on the toilet 🚽 👎🏻

Can reheating rice cause food poisoning?

Yes, you can get food poisoning from eating reheated rice. It's not the reheating that causes the problem, but the way the rice has been stored before it's reheated.

How does reheated rice cause food poisoning?

Uncooked rice can contain spores of Bacillus cereus, bacteria that can cause food poisoning. The spores can survive when rice is cooked.

If rice is left standing at room temperature, the spores can grow into bacteria. These bacteria will multiply and may produce toxins (poisons) that cause vomiting or diarrhoea.

The longer cooked rice is left at room temperature, the more likely it is that the bacteria or toxins could make the rice...

I don’t usually write reviews, but I felt like this needed to be said.

Came into this restaurant with high hopes only to get disappointment. Although the waitresses were lovely, the ‘head’ chef was the complete opposite, making both me and my partner very uncomfortable. My partner had addressed to the waitress that the chicken in his ramen was dry, bland and seemed undercooked, which the waitress was apologetic for. But then the chef came to our table and interrogated my partner about the chicken being “cooked properly”, and continued saying this aggressively multiple times between when we ate and when we paid. Whilst going to the counter to pay, we were also stared down by almost all the staff and then we were overcharged!!! Even after being told the ramen would be taken off the bill. I will definitely not be going back to this place purely because of this one chef who ruined the whole experience. Very...

Dined here on a Tuesday 5.30 - heaps of staff on. Super quick service. Meals came out almost instantly which brings me to that. Kids sushi rolls were great and fair priced for a restaurant, they loved them. We ordered edamame beans- cold and soggy like they were defrosted. Chicken karage- so fatty and soggy. Not the light crispy batter it should be. Ramen with beef, this was def the worst. It was almost like a packet of two minute noodles with boiled sliced beef that had NO flavour and the onion smelt like it was cut 3 days ago.

We really were so excited for the Marina to have some alternative foods instead of pubs and chips but sadly it won’t last if the quality of what is served doesn’t improve.

I hate giving poor reviews but I make sure all my reviews are non biased and...
