Health inspectors found staff not properly washing their hands, food unprotected from contamination, ineffective pest control measures, unposted grade cards and more during the 39-demerit inspection.

The restaurant has earned two other C grades since inspections started in 2013 as well as one B grade. The seven other inspections earned an A grade.

The health district conducts unannounced inspections at least once a year. Inspections are posted online about five days after the inspection.
