On October 24, 2026, a Sushiro restaurant located in the Chuhe Han Street area of Wuhan, China, became the subject of investigation after customers reported seeing a live rat running across the food conveyor belt.

Following the sighting, the restaurant temporarily suspended operations to conduct a disinfection process. Management stated that the rodent was an “external intruder.” While the affected branch has since reopened, reports indicate a discrepancy in how customers were treated; one customer involved in the incident received a complimentary meal and frozen mango as compensation, while other diners present reported they were not offered similar redress.
