Owner-requested re-check · a low A

A surprise inspection on Dec 2024 scored 83, flagging cutting boards and surfaces not sanitized. The 90 above is the owner-requested re-check on Jan 2025.

Cutting boards and surfaces not sanitized

Dirty food-contact surfaces can spread germs between foods, so this one matters for safety.

LA County code F014 · 2 pts

Hot water below the required temperature

The hot water at a sink was not hot enough, which makes proper handwashing and dish sanitizing harder.

The bottom line

Currently 90, a low A, from an owner-requested re-inspection. But a surprise visit scored 83, the worst issue being cutting boards and surfaces not sanitized. Worth a closer look, since the re-check was owner-requested, not a surprise.
