Customer claims she found a dead rat in her salad - but this NYC restaurant suspects otherwise
Briefly

The New York City Health Department is investigating a disturbing claim made by 27-year-old Hannah Rasbach, who allegedly discovered a dead rat in her takeout salad from a Midtown Korean restaurant. Despite confirmation of her presence at the restaurant on the date in question, the restaurant, Ongi, denies the claim, arguing that surveillance footage shows no rat contamination in their food preparation. Rasbach reported feeling traumatized by the incident, which led her to vomit after uncovering the rat hidden within her salad.
Surveillance footage confirmed that Rasbach was at the restaurant on that date.
Horrified over the discovery, Rasbach claimed she vomited in her office bathroom before returning to Ongi to alert them of the unexpected ingredient.
Reps for the restaurant have since refuted Rasbach's claim, alleging that the security footage showed the squeaky clean preparation process.
The customer said she was halfway through her to-go bowl of spring mix, grilled salmon and beef bulgogi and toppings when she noticed the unwanted accouterment.
