During the inspection on Oct. 4, health inspectors found six high-priority violations.

This included:

  • Approximately two live roaches at the cook line floor with the operator killing both roaches.
  • Approximately 10 live roaches by the dishwasher under a sanitizer container that was under the dishwasher.

The restaurant was allowed to re-open the next day after passing a follow-up inspection.
