Dear Mr. Chow,
On May 1,2002,I reviewed your old inspection reports and i felt that an inspection of your
restaurant was necessary. I performed a comple[e inspection and found the following Health Code
Violaflons/Problems:
1. The floor had a general build-up ranging from minor to major and was espeecially bad under
the dis6 machine. I recommended a good,thorough cleaning of the floor and baseboazds using
hot soap and water.
2. The dish machine leaked at the detergent feed and the rinse pmduc[was low enough for the
alazm to sound T6e iinse temperat�ue reached I80°F only after Sve consecutive tuns. I
informed you that the technician was nceded to fix the leak and tum up the boos[er to
maintain proper tempetatures.
3. The hood fans Lad major build up and needed cleaning immediately.Hood filters were
missing from the main cooking area in front I explained the need to Lave all filters installed
and the requirement to have a clean hood fan.
4. The dry storage area was extremely cluttered and was in need of sfraightening out I e�cplained
that the floor around the flour bags would attract vermin.
I informed you tLat all these violations would nced to be rectified and that I would be back within two or
tlu�ee weeks. I re-inspected your resfauiant on June 3,2002 and found the following:
1. The floor was in the same condition as the previws inspection I noticed cracked and loose
tiles that I did not notice before.
2. The dish machine was still leaking,low on rinse agenY as indicated by the alazm,and the rinse
tempereture never made it past 150°F.
3. The hood fans were in worse condition than before;grease had collected in long l�anging
stiands on the Ansel unit piping.This was a Fire Code violation.
4. The dry storage area was in the same condition as before.
5. Potentially Ha7ardous Foods(PHF's)in the middle walk-in re&igerator were not dated.
Clricken and bcef were at an acceptable temperature but it was not clear how long they had
been refrige�ated.
6. An employee(Asian,50's,female)was cooldng behind the line and was witnessed as leaving
her unwrapped food on a cutting board at the line.TLis is crosscontamination and a serious
Health Code ViolaUon.
These Heelth Code Violations and Issues need to be addressed and you are ordered to attend
an Admiuistrative Hearing scheduled for Thuraday Juue 13,2002 at 11:00 am.in the Health
Deparhnent Director's OtTice.
