  • [4] Number; convenient; accessible; designed; installed

12/29/2015Routine Reinspection 1st94
  • [5] Potentially hazardous food meets temperature requirements during storage; preparation; display; service; transportation
    Observed mussle shells being left out at room temperature after cooks deep fry them. They are then used to serve mussles when an order is placed. These shells must be kept refrigerated as they still have a piece of the mussle attached and it can grow bacteria if left at room temperature. This is a repeat violation from 2014 that was addressed and corrected at that time but staff has begun leaving them out again. Issue corrected during inspection by placing all mussles in fridge as they had just been fried approximately 2.5 hours prior.
  • [2] Food protected during storage; preparation; display; service; transportation
    Observed raw product stored incorrectly in walk in fridge. This kitchen is utilized for items for Asian Wok as well as Sushi Rose so many fish items are served raw and must be treated with appropriate care. Chicken was stored in same bin as salmon and above cucumbers and shrimp and pork. Store all raw meat in the following order from bottom to top: chicken/eggs; beef; pork and fish that will be cooked; then vegetables and cooked meats above all raw meat. Raw fish thawing for sushi should be kept separate from all items.
  • [1] In-use food; ice dispensing utensils properly stored
    Observed numerous scoops being stored in food with handles in food. Store ice/food scoops within separate clean container or in product with handle up to minimize hand contact with product.
  • General Comments that relate to this Inspection
    Hand sinks clean and stocked. Restrooms clean and stocked. Walk in @ 34F. Shrimp; cucumbers; and pork 36-39F. Walk in freezer @ -20F. Hot holding good. Brown rice @ 165F. White rice @ 147F. Soups @ 150F. Ice machine clean. Fridge under rice cookers @ 28F. All food at 38F or below. Make up unit @ 40F. All food at 40F or below. Final cook temp of pork potstickers @150F. Dishwasher dispensing 100ppm Chlorine. Facility cleanliness is much improved from last year. * Facility cooks and cools deep fried chicken; pork and potstickers. According to operator these items are cooled on speed rack until they are cool to the touch and then bagged and placed in walk in freezer. Temperatures are not being taken during process. Improper cooling not observed but requested facility keep cooling logs for next couple batches to ensure items are being cooled properly. Example logs left with operator and will be checked during reinspection. * Discussed labeling of foods as most foods in refrigeration units are not labeled. Staff states they prep new product from frozen daily so all items in make up units are used within 24 HRS or items in walk in are in process of being thawed out. Instructed staff to ensure items are labeled with a prep date if they are not going to be used within 24 HRS. *Discussed no bare hand contact with ready to eat foods rules. Most items are only contacted with tongs or utensils. Mussels are currently being touched with bare hands once they are removed from the deep fryer and placed in the shell. Facility must develop a new system for ensuring the food is not touched with bare hands after it is cooked. * Recommend operators designate a separate area for unloading dirty dishes coming in from restaurant side. Observed employee unloading them onto food prep tables. No food was being prepped at that time but this is a bad practice that could result in cross contamination of food.CFPM (list all CFPMs in facility): None. Current CFPM is onsite 7 days a week. Facility has not had employee(s) take and fail one of the recognized CFPM exams in the past year.
