No violation noted during this evaluation. | 02/11/2016 | Inspection | No violations observed. Facility appears very clean and well organized. There were containers of recently chopped cabage and tomatoes on the counter during inspection. They are pulled from the refrigerator when an order is placed. According to operator, they intend to remove the current serving door and replace it with a serving window. Acquire a new prep cooler that will be setup to hold the chopped vegetables mentioned before and other food items. The objective is to improve effeciency and flow of the kitchen. It was learned that, with the existing serving door, it can be quite crowded in the kitchen when it is busy. Inspector requested an up dated sketch from operator that shows the new kitchen layout. |
No violation noted during this evaluation. | 10/27/2015 | Inspection | Comment: No violations observed. Discussed preparation process of meat related menu items with operator. Only enough frozen meat is thawed via boiling water to serve on that particular day. (No leftover thawed meat is saved for next day service.) After thawing, the meat is moved to the refrigerator until an order is placed. At that point, the meat is, chopped, cooked and served. The thawed meat items observed in refrigerator on day of inspection appeared to be cooked. Though the time between thawing and cooking and serving this meat is at most six hours, please monitor temperature with food probe thermometer at the end of boiling prior to placement into refrigerator. Cooking should be a one step process. The dumpling (beef) is the only other meat menu item that is cooked, cooled, reheated and served.
Well run operation. |
