In June:
History: Has received mostly good ratings since 2013, but has failed one other time and received one “needs improvement” rating.
What the inspector saw: Six critical violations on June 23, earning the restaurant a probationary rating. Violations included poor hand-washing practices, raw food being stored near ready-to-eat food, fried chicken being stored in a used cardboard box, seasoning and sauce containers covered in encrusted food, food without proper date labeling, and an unlabeled pink liquid.
Follow-up: A reinspection was not done within 10 days of the failed inspection, as is customary, because the restaurant is closed until July 14. A reinspection will be done after it reopens, according to a health department official.
Response: The restaurant was closed the week the Star tried to reach owners or managers for comment.
