In August
History: Has never before failed an inspection, and has received “good” and “excellent” ratings exclusively since 2003.
What the inspector saw: The restaurant’s make unit was not cooling foods adequately. There was no certified food protection manager on site. The two violations earned the restaurant a “needs improvement” rating, which is less serious than a “probationary” rating.
Follow-up: Failed its first follow-up on Aug. 12, but passed four days later.
Response: Owner Chung Kim said the make unit in question was new and not working properly at first. Staff were eventually able to get it keep food adequately cool.
