Szechuan Omei (March)
2601 E. Speedway
On a March 4 followup for the restaurant’s provisional status, after failing in February and January, an inspector observed seven critical violations, including evidence of a rodent infestation.
“Due to the imminent health hazards, the facility has agreed to close,” inspector Shelby Cavillo wrote in the report. “Approval from the (health) department must be obtained before operations resume.”
During the inspection, Cavillo noted handwashing violations and rodent droppings on food storage areas and food preparation equipment.
Cavillo returned to reinspect Szechuan Omei on March 24, and with three critical violations, the restaurant failed again.
Pots, pans, utensils and refrigerator walls and racks were encrusted with food debris, and rodent droppings were observed throughout the facility, according to the inspection report.
