| Comments: Comment: No violations observed. Facility had been closed the previous week for super deep cleaning of all surfaces and those surfaces behind and beneath equipment. Facility operator and staff had always maintained a very clean and sanitary kitchen as noted in past inspections. However, once a year facility closes and cleaning, painting, tile or floor intallation occurs. There was some new tile work done this past week on the walls behind the two bay prep sink and where the trash receptacle is located. Items checked during inspection included: accuracy of metal stem food probe thermometer, proper cold holding, availability of handwashing in food prep area, availability of sanitizer for wiping cloths, proper food storage and general sanitation. Based on what has been observed in past inspections, facility cooks and immediately serves all menu items (vegetables) except for the meat and rice. The meat is cooked, cooled and reheated for immediate service. The rice is cooked, hot held and served on order. Inspector discussed the cooling of the meat (couple pounds) using the freezer to cool below 45 F and move to the refrigerator. When the meat is reheated, it is for immediate service, no hot holding. Pictures were taken of the very clean kitchen. | ||

| Comments: 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. | ||

| Comments: 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. | ||
