In September

Β History:Β The restaurant has failed both of its routine inspections since opening in May.

What the inspector saw:Β Six priority violations, including a hand-washing sink filled with trash and ingredients, the use of hand sink water to cook rice, failing to use sanitizer to clean cooking equipment, and food kept at unsafe temperatures.

Follow-up:Β No indication in county records that a follow-up inspection has yet been conducted.

Response:Β A message seeking comment wasn’t returned by deadline. Commenting on the restaurant’s failed June inspection, manager Jenny Lu previously told the Star that those violations were corrected and that the inspector β€œsat down with me personally, and he taught me how to do everything.”
