In August
History: Received mostly “good” and “excellent” ratings since 2002. Had one previous “needs improvement” rating in 2014 and this was its first failed inspection.
What the inspector saw: Priority violations including raw meat stored over vegetables, washing of utensils with no soap or sanitizer, inadequate cooling of food, inaccurate food dating, no food thermometers on site, and rodent droppings near the water heater.
Follow-up: Hasn't yet occurred.
Response: Owner Wayne Wei said he didn’t feel his restaurant should have failed the inspection. “We did the right thing,” he said, adding later: “Sometimes we have these inspectors come over and just tell what we need to correct on site. This time they did not.”
