The Belltown and Bellevue locations closed voluntarily for two weeks in November and December 2024 to address concerns about food-safety handling. A TikTok video review was posted by social media personality Keith Lee drew comments that claimed to see a live worm in a piece of raw hamachi; FOB said that the movement was caused by the handling of Lee's chopsticks. The chain closed both of its locations prior to an inspection by Public Health – Seattle & King County, which was later conducted prior to the reopening on December 3. [1] [8]
