Investigated compliant at Ichiban Japanese Steakhouse on 2/14/12 that was issued on 2/13/12. Compliant stated that there was bad shrimp, the food was possibly cross contaminated and that there was no running water in the restrooms.
During the investigation there was running water all throughout the facility and the restrooms all had hot running water. The shrimp comes in frozen at least once a week and is thawed in the walk in cooler the same day that it is served.
Also, during the investigation, there were raw eggs stored above salads in the front reach in cooler. Operator stated that they just finished with the lunch rush and they never usually store eggs in the same cooler with the salads. Operator stated he has been trying to stay on top of this because it has been a violation in the past. Operator corrected the violation at the time of inspection by storing the eggs below the salads. Operator was given a hand out explaining the proper stacking order in the coolers and will further explain to his employees on how to properly stack food items in the facility.
Compliant has been closed on 2/14/12.
No further action is required.
