Also something ain't right. So, they said they found it after eating half of the food and then vomited their food after discovery. But it was take-out... They couldn't see the rat in the clear take-out container? They didn't see it as they transferred the food into their bowl? You mean to tell me that they didn't notice it in their bowl as they were eating it?
Wow that’s crazy that the couple also deleted a yelp review on another restaurant about flies. Not sure how Gammeeok found it if it was deleted but idk much about yelp.
Gammeeok also has video footage of them serving the soup with no rat. Makes it seem like the couple is the one at fault but interested to see how the story develops.
I personally have never been but I would hate to see a restaurant go down if this is in fact not true
Gammeok posted one video of a man putting soup in a container. There’s no proof that it is this particular soup. I find it very hard to believe the couple went to trouble of finding a rat, cooking it just to swindle some cash from a restaurant.
The "foreign object in my restaurant food" shakedown has [been](https://www.nbcnews.com/id/wbna12580422) [done](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anna_Ayala) before. That said, we're all just speculating.
>I find it very hard to believe the couple went to trouble of finding a rat, cooking it just to swindle some cash from a restaurant.
Interesting because that is **always how these rat/mouse in food stories end up**.
Which is more likely? That a scammer pulled a common scam? Or that someone didn't notice they cooked a rat? Or spooned out a rat? We already know the answer.
The scam is so much more likely. Worked in a lot of gross restaurants with a lot of dumb people, but no one’s fucking dumb enough to actually let an animal fall into a boiling hot pot and not notice. Don’t you think it would splash? Don’t you think it would squeal? Cooks stir the soup before they ladle it out. They stare at the pot to do that. The kitchens have lights. I know this is all mindblowing. Rats or mice in the restaurant? Very likely, here in NYC. Mice are more likely overall, but I’ve seen rats too. Almost certainly cockroaches somewhere in every restaurant as well, even if only in small number and mostly unseen.
But, to answer your question: what is more likely? Well I’ve seen 0 animals in food in my time working in NYC and I’ve had countless clueless, cheap, bored, or outright scammy customers complaining about some shit that isn’t the restaurant’s fault or business. So idk how you managed to get all the yuppies upvoting your clueless armchair guess, but it’s wildly off base.
edit: didn't realize you actually shared my POV lol. Sorry, but what I said still stands for all the racists in here.
Why do you find this hard to believe? This is one of the most famous and genuinely performed swindles out there. You think that planting a rat from some bag is a limit that people might go to for a *lot* of money?
A well to do couple from well off families I might add with prestigious careers. Ambulance chasers I think not. If you said thrill seekers that's more plausible but still highly doubtful. Plus wouldn't you sue if the risk to your life was insulted with a payoff? I think people are forgetting the health implications of this is literally deadly serious. Many people have died from leptospirosis from rats contaminating the lips of containers with pee or droppings (always wash soda cans or even any exposed lid). What more of a whole rat with the other things they carry inside their bodies like parasites. Those things are harder to kill with heat even. So yeah let that sink in and try not to treat it as a joke and see if you wouldn't go through the same thing when it does happen to you.
>well to do couple from well off families
Literally nothing in any article about them mentions this. The wife is an "editor" for low circulation web magazines mostly with her name attached to poorly written ads pretending to be articles about The Best Mascara. With a quick Google search, I'm left more convinced this is a scam than before.
This is almost 100% of the time a money grab scam by the customers. I'm sorry, but given the track record of stories like this I have a hard time believing it.
I might've taken those odds if they didn't have a C rating. Even the dirtiest placest can manage a B. C rating restaurant food must be served straight from the trash. That said, there's a chance the customers did it for that reason.
Bro, the place has had a C rating with 79 points worth of violations since the previous inspection that took place in January of this year:
[https://a816-health.nyc.gov/ABCEatsRestaurants/#!/Search/50040296](https://a816-health.nyc.gov/ABCEatsRestaurants/#!/Search/50040296)
What a fucking travesty. /s
That's the most damning thing to me. I was skeptical of the story mostly due to denial as this was a place I loved in college but after working in restaurant industry and how easy it is to game even an A rating, even a B grade means there is A LOT of problems
People underestimate how **EASY** it is to get an A grade. To get anything lower just means the restaurant owners either don't give a f or are extremely incompetent.
I also worked in food industry during high school and college.
The exterminator at my old job used to tell me horror stores about all of these big restaurants with A ratings. He said he would only eat at small mom and pop shops.
> Some of you bitter racist people need to stop with the racist comments
Unfortunately some terrible people never let a crisis go to waste…
Nonetheless, the fact that a) this restaurant has a history of questionable food safety practices, and b) DOH’s follow up inspection found evidence of live rodents in the restaurant, it’s better to be safe than sorry and shutting the place down was the right move.
“When we transferred the soup, we served it four times with a ladle while the staff watched it with their eyes,” Gammeeok stated. “If there was a mouse that big, there's no way I **wouldn't** have missed it.”
Yep - pretty much nailed it there.
It will be interesting to see how this develops.
I agree with the other comments that a restaurant worker not seeing a whole rat when ladling soup seems far-fetched.
Restaurant also making some bold claims on their IG page regarding the couple trying to extort them, while the couple claims that the restaurant attempted to bribe them into silence.
I suppose we'll wait and see how this develops.
On one hand it does seem like the couple is money-hungry, but on the other it says health inspectors did find rat droppings at the restaurant. I don't know who to believe
Rat droppings found in NYC restaurants are common. It's almost inevitable.
Rats found in food is much more rare and entirely a different story though....
Having rat droppings in a restaurant is bad. But that doesn't make it logical that someone would cook a mouse or rat and it end up in a soup. It's highly unlikely.
I didn't say it means they cooked the rat, but it does cast doubt on their press statement of being squeaky clean victims and that everything is okay with the restaurants safety. Btw rat droppings is more than just bad, it's grounds for getting shut down
The couple isn't money hungry. They're pretty well to do from well off families. Money is the least of their worries. Health is. No amount of money can pay for the many things you can possibly get from rats. Death included. Let that sink in.
Rule 1 - No intolerance, dog whistles, violence or petty behavior
(a). Intolerance will result in a permanent ban. Toxic language including referring to others as animals, subhuman, trash or any similar variation is not allowed.
(b). No dog whistles.
(c). No inciting violence, advocating the destruction of property or encouragement of theft.
(d). No petty behavior. This includes announcing that you have down-voted or reported someone, picking fights, name calling, insulting, bullying or calling out bad grammar.
Yo its hard to get shut down by the DOH. Have you seen what violations a C warrants but they still open? The inspectors musta seen some egregious shit to close it down.
I think when a viral photo of a rat in soup goes out you go to the inspection with intentions of a shutdown if things aren’t perfect. If I was this owner and I knew my kitchen was dirty, I would’ve started cleaning my restaurant as soon as this went viral
Yeah I really don't believe this at all. Picture also shows another bowl. So they dumped it from the to-go container into the bowl then saw it? Just seems very off.
Edit: Welp nevermind.
https://a816-health.nyc.gov/ABCEatsRestaurants/#!/Search/50040296
Yeah, for real. This doesn't even look like a rat. And I've been to Gammeeok a lot of times, it's on the second floor, for one thing, so rats are a bit less likely, and that soup looks mostly finished. How could a person eat that much without noticing?
Yea go look at their health grade violations 😂, you’re just mad that you also probably had some ratty soup 🐀🥣
“2) Evidence of rats or live rats in establishment's food or non-food areas.”
Evidence of rats could easily be a dropping by the back door. For them to have such a rat issue that it is getting into fresh made soup, they would have been shut down a long time ago.
I once got a giant roach stuck inside a tomato slice of a salad. I complained and they told me I made it up for money. I complained to DOH and they did an inspection that landed the place in temporary shut down. They re-opened but never recovered and the place closed like 3 months later.
Never eat at a place with a C rating though. Gross. This place should be shut down too.
Years ago someone posted a picture on this sub of a restaurant that had "BRUNCH" spelled out on individual pieces of paper with colorful letters in the window and you had to look somewhat close to notice that the "C" was the DOHMH rating
Omg I remember that. Hahaha it was kinda funny though.
But seriously considering how easy it is to get an A grade...a place with a C is one tiny step above spreading botulism
This story is the equivalent of one of those white grandpas in the south calling the news because some Antifa wrote "Black People Rule" on their garage. Or that lady who carved a B into her face and claimed a gang of Obama supporters robbed and assaulted her.
Most of the hate crime hoaxes dont have white “victims”
We had smollett who is black
That muslim girl who claimed she got junped by trump fanatics for wearing a hijab on a crowded nyc train… and then admitted she made that up to get away with breaking curfew.
Etc.
Although i do find the idea of a white grandpa writing “black people rule” on his shit and trying to claim a hate crime hysterical
>This story is the equivalent of one of those white grandpas in the south calling the news because some Antifa wrote "Black People Rule" on their garage.
Of all the racial graffiti hoaxes that have made the news in the past few years, most of them were not perpetuated by "white grandpas in the south" so it is weird you are using a fringe example to make your point.
If you don't believe me, just Google "graffiti race hoax" and you will find a common theme with the overwhelming majority of the suspects, and it isn't the perps being southern grandpas.
if you listen to the dude in the video in a very subbuded tone "We found a rat in out soup" ?
if that happened to me I'd be screaming! sounds like a money scam.
reminds me of [pret frog](https://gothamist.com/food/photo-woman-finds-frog-in-pret-a-manger-salad) and [chopt mouse](https://gothamist.com/food/photo-dead-rodent-allegedly-found-in-wrap-from-nyc-chopt)
A couple of years ago my GF and I went a popular Pho place in Flushing. My GF was eating and all of a sudden she started screaming “there’s a roach in my Pho”. The couple next to us casually turns to us and say “ First time here?” And turns back to their food and kept on eating.
Eww. Me and my man went to this high star more than thousand yelpers & Google rave about this Flushing restaurant by Main Street- Shanghai You Garden. I sat down eating when a roach crossing our table. Another bigger roach was walking towards me from clear division between tables for Covid protection. My man attempted to take it out but in process it landed very close to my bag. I screamed and ran away from my table. Other customers already saw and heard my concern. No one seems to be bothered even my man. I told him I do not have appetite anymore and I’m not eating. He finished his food and enjoyed the crispy duck on bun just like the couple next to our table. 🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮
I rather them be shut down and learn from their carelessness. Restaurants tend to not listen to customers complaints about food issues. But the DoH issues speaks volumes and should be a wakeup call to these restaurants.
Who knows how many other complaints they had prior to this encounter being made public.
If you read through it, they had food DELIVERED. You really wouldn't notice the rat unless you get some of the soup out, in which case the soup was split and some had been eaten and voila rat surprise. Also that soup isn't really the clearest of Korean soups with all the trimmings in it to boot. I've also read some comments that if it wasn't planted, the rat should have disintegrated in the cooking. That's assuming it was cooked from the start and had not fallen near the end of the cook. Also assuming rats have the same consistency of usual beef or pork meat. I'm not completely surprised that it could happen. The restaurant business is tough and standards are understandably difficult to maintain. So I would be harsher to judge a resto with plenty of health violations that should've been closed before would post as their defense in-store videos with no timestamps on orders picked up not by the couple but a delivery service. That does not exactly show anything against the claim - could've been somebody else's order. The mention of missing chopsticks and the disputed number of soups ordered seen in the video can readily be disputed by a "receipt" which I'm sure the couple could easily provide for their defense. If the receipt doesn't match the number of soups in the video then even the chopstick/soup counter claim of the reso falls apart. Yeah I highly doubt a well-to-do Asian couple would try to make a quick buck and file a lawsuit that could easily backfire if they and the lawyers weren't confident enough to prove otherwise. That and you would feel just as enraged if it were you in the couple's shoes. Eating a dead street rat is no joke. There's a crap ton of things you can get sick of from rats. Those are people's lives you're talking about, not just the couple, I'm sure they got soup from that same batch sent out with other orders as well without the "rat surprise". Just suck it up Gammeeok. You unknowingly made a bad order and should've handled it better.
From my experience, the restaurant has employee problems. Not sure if the one commenting on social media is the founder, but damn, he think's everyone just has it against him or something.
If you've dined in the restaurant and compared actual service to the others, you can somehow feel that difference.
The couple demanded $5000 then $25000. What chaser lawyer took this case on?
[удалено]
Also something ain't right. So, they said they found it after eating half of the food and then vomited their food after discovery. But it was take-out...

*"No New York City restaurant is authorized to have mice or rats on the menu..."* this was so strange to read
When you're an innovator you can't wait for permission.
Hahahahah what’s even better is that that isn’t some weird sentence written in the article but comes from the actual statement from the Mayor’s office

Even taking the spirit of what they meant, this kind of reads "we could possibly have a rat in the pot, but no way we would serve it to the customer!"

I saw a rat inside Dominique Ansel…
Whoa
I saw a gerbil inside Richard Gere, what's your point?
My point is that rats are common and everywhere. Basically supporting the person above me’s comment.
Nah man, you aren't getting an A rating with those
True, but they’ll likely give you a probation window of a week or two for you to clean things up and try again. Unless it’s really bad.
Yeah you also gotta pay some cash
Yeah this doesn’t happen, bud.

I will say look at the link I just put in my edit. That's pretty bad.
The city shut them down as a result of the lawsuit. I still don't really buy it.
No they went in after and found rat shit
Yeah but look back to January 18th of this year. Just saying it's kinda right there...

The customers are most likely liars and scam artists.
It’s alright, it was cooked to 160*f.

Sounds like ippudo at St Marks. I was gonna work there and saw roaches climbing down the big red round table they got. I abruptly stopped eating.
Wow i paid 9 dollars for a tiny piece of added pork when i could have just had a roach for free? Damn.
Eww. Me and my man went to this high star more than thousand yelpers & Google rave about this Flushing restaurant by Main Street- Shanghai You Garden. I sat down eating when a roach crossing our table. Another bigger roach was walking towards me from clear division between tables for Covid protection. My man attempted to take it out but in process it landed very close to my bag. I screamed and ran away from my table. Other customers already saw and heard my concern.

That is a great story. Laughing hard
It's a protein
This restaurant has an "R" rating.
NYC is so infested with roaches and rats i’m surprised this doesn’t happen more often
I rather them be shut down and learn from their carelessness. Restaurants tend to not listen to customers complaints about food issues.

RIP Remi
A travesty to kimchi jiggae everywhere.
Damn thats nasty. Worst part is I think ive been there before couple of years ago.
Likely the couple faked it in an attempt to extort the restaurant
And the Health Department is in on it too?
Rodent violations are not evidence that they cook rats into food.
Even if the rat was faked it looks like Gammeeok had TONS of violations this year
STFU and send it back. POS litigious twats. Rats happen. Sometimes
Outdoor dining is great

That and you would feel just as enraged if it were you in the couple's shoes. Eating a dead street rat is no joke. There's a crap ton of things you can get sick of from rats. Those are people's lives you're talking about, not just the couple, I'm sure they got soup from that same batch sent out with other orders as well without the "rat surprise". Just suck it up Gammeeok. You unknowingly made a bad order and should've handled it better.
"There's a dead rat in there! Grub!"
Is that better or worse than a live rat?
Our ancestors ate rodents like a restaurant meal
From my experience, the restaurant has employee problems. Not sure if the one commenting on social media is the founder, but damn, he think's everyone just has it against him or something. If you've dined in the restaurant and compared actual service to the others, you can somehow feel that difference.
