FOB Sushi to reopen Tuesday after closure over viral TikTok
SEATTLE – FOB Sushi will reopen Tuesday after famous food review TikToker Keith Lee sparked controversy last month with a video garnering millions of views, bringing the business’ food safety into question.
The local restaurant posted to Instagram on Monday afternoon to announce the steps they have taken to prepare for the reopening of their Seattle and Bellevue locations.
“Public Health – Seattle and King County visited our Seattle location recently and confirmed FOB Sushi has no food code violations,” the statement read, in part.

Additionally, the restaurant team says that after the brief closure, “We can ensure our guests that all ingredients, food preparation, food safety, and storage remain in compliance with food safety protocols and practices.”
On Nov. 9, Keith Lee posted a FOB Sushi review as he toured the Seattle food scene. In it, he tried various items from the menu, showing bites to the camera before eating them in his car. The video has amassed over 21 million views.
On Nov. 15, another TikTok user, goojiepooj, posted a video about Lee’s review, saying it appeared that he ate a worm in FOB Sushi’s sashimi.
Two days later, on Nov. 17, Lee responded to the claims himself. He did not confirm nor deny that he ate a worm during his review, but did say he was OK. He addressed another TikTok from a user that claimed his girlfriend was hospitalized for a week after eating at FOB Sushi.
Lee also said he personally reached out to the restaurant and sent them his well wishes.
FOB Sushi temporarily closed both its locations on Nov. 18, but is reopening them on Tuesday, Dec. 3, at 11 a.m.

Here, Kitty, Kitty: Scenes from POP Cats Seattle 2026
A whimsical world of whiskers, creativity, and community took over Seattle Center this weekend as POP Cats 2026 returned for a celebration of all things feline. The immersive convention turned the Exhibition Hall into a vibrant ‘cat city,’ complete with colorful art installations, interactive exhibits and endless photo ops. From adoptable rescue cats and hands-on workshops to cosplay, shopping, and meetups with fellow cat lovers, the event blended fun with purpose. Attendees could even bring their own cats, making it one of the few conventions where pets are part of the experience. Felines and their human friends embraced a joyful, cat-filled escape and one meow-velous weekend in Seattle. (Image: Elizabeth Crook / Seattle Refined) April 18, 2026{ }

WEST SEATTLE WEATHER: Warm day, but far below record
Thanks to Carrie Brown for the westward view of our Saturday night sunset. The high today hit 68 at the airport – eight degrees above normal – but nowhere near the record for this date, which was 89 degrees back in 2016. The forecast suggests two more days of partly sunny, almost-70-degree weather, before the chance of rain returns.
