Woman hospitalised after eating 32 sushi rolls at 'all you can eat' buffet

A woman who wanted to get her money 's worth at a £37 all you can eat buffet was hospitalised after scoffing 32 sushi rolls.

Danielle Shapiro also ate four gyoza dumplings, two jalapeño poppers, a bowl of edamame and a bowl of miso soup, during her two-hour sitting at the restaurant.

The 24-year-old went to the $50-per-head sushi buffet at Sushi 85 in Mountain View, California, with friend Amanda and recorded her dining experience.

Real estate agent Danielle ended up paying the price for her indulgence when she woke up the next morning with a severe stomach pain and ended up in hospital with Gastroesophageal Reflux disease.

Danielle said: "I am a huge fan of sushi! I like to eat it a couple times a month if I'm lucky.

“My best friend Amanda was in town for the weekend and she loves sushi as well so we were both looking forward to the All you can eat sushi experience!

“The all you can eat sushi is about $50 a person so Amanda and I had to make sure we got our money's worth, which meant eating a lot!

In her video, Danielle, from San Mateo County, Northern California, joked that she and Amanda had to be "rolled out of the restaurant".

The estate agency then slept at her boyfriend's house and said she had "the worst stomach ache" but didn't assume it was due to her large lunch.

Danielle's TikTok video amassed a whopping 11.4 million views from stunned social media users.

She later posted: "I am not a morning person so when I woke up around 6am the next day I knew something was wrong.

"My stomach and chest had intense pain and it was hard to take deep breaths."

Danielle's boyfriend and grandmother took her to a hospital, where doctors told her she had Gastroesophageal Reflux disease, or acid reflux.

Although not life-threatening it can have painful symptoms including vomiting, bloating, heartburn and sore throat.

She was discharged from the hospital after a few hours and prescribed medication for the condition.

But it hasn't put her off her favourite Japanese treats. She added: "I will definitely eat sushi again.

"This experience has not ruined sushi for me, or the all-you-can-eat sushi experience.

"I did learn that next time I need to listen to my body and take things slower."
