This is a full inspection due to a complaint to our Dept. about a possible foodborne illness from eating raw oysters. See complaint form. The
complaintant did not see a doctor.
There is a consumer advisory on the menu warning the consumer that eating raw or undercooked food could result in a foodborne illness. Owner
states they have never had anyone complain of becoming ill. The owner stated they have not had any ill employees.
The oysters come from True World Foods located in Elk Grove, Il 60007. The seafood is Haccp certified by the U.S, Dept. of Commerce. They
only order small amounts, usually 12 oysters at a time. If not sold within 2 days, they cook them up for the employees to eat.
Rice for the sushi is made fresh in small amounts in the morning, and when they close at 2:30 to 4:30 for a break, leftovers are disposed of.
At 4:30 they make a fresh batch of rice until closing at 9:30, at which time the leftover is disposed of. A haccp plan is not needed at this
time.
Gloves are worn when handling ready to eat foods, and when they roll the rice for the sushi.
Dishwasher is at 50 ppm, plus 3 compartment sink, plus handwash sink.
The bar has a 3 compartment sink, but the glassware goes back to kitchen dishwasher for washing.
