LA County code F124 · 11 pts
Serious · real illness risk
Cutting boards and surfaces not sanitized
Dirty food-contact surfaces can pass germs to your food, so this one matters.
LA County code F115 · 2 pts
Also noted

Hot or cold water not adequate at a sink
Hot or cold water was not adequate at a sink, which makes cleaning and handwashing less effective.
LA County code F122 · 2 pt
Moderate · lower risk
Handwashing sink not stocked or reachable
Workers need a working, supplied sink to wash up, and missing soap or access makes good hand hygiene harder.
LA County code F107 · 2 pt
Moderate · lower risk

A missing menu notice, mostly a paperwork issue, though useful if you're high-risk.

The bottom line
Cutting boards and surfaces not sanitized flagged in 2 of the last 2 inspections. Currently 78, a C, from an owner-requested re-inspection. But a surprise visit scored 72 with a severe issue: live pests or an infestation. Worth a closer look, since the re-check was owner-requested, not a surprise.

An inspection is a snapshot of one day. A clean score isn't a guarantee, and a low one doesn't mean you'll get sick. We translate the official LA County Public Health record; we don't change it. We update from the county's records as new inspections and grade changes post, usually within about a week of a visit. This is the latest the county has on file for this place.
