Local Chinese Restaurant Tops Inspector Naughty List
I love Chinese food. Who doesn’t?
But reading the weekly health inspector’s list about area restaurants is making me think twice about re-visiting one of my favorites. But I’m compelled to find out from week to week who’s IS on the list. Inspectors are out in the Tampa Bay area for our benefit, making sure our favorite eateries are up to code.
Sure enough, one of my FAVORITE Chinese restaurants ended up on the list this week, with the most violations, according to Channel 8.
Yummy House China Bistro on East Hillsborough in Tampa had 31 violations. They tout that they sell grouper… but it upon closer inspection… it’s NOT grouper. It was some other kind of fish called “Swai.” (I’ve heard this kind of switch-up is common.) Employees were also caught not washing their hands when they were required to. Gross!
Hong Kong House on Fowler in Tampa had almost as many issues with 28 violations.
Others with the highest number of violations on this week’s report include:
- La Casita Grocery & Restaurant in Ruskin
- Skinny’s Bar & Grill in Hudson
- Shark Tales in St. Pete Beach
- Huarache Azteca in Dunedin
- U Poke Spot in Tampa
I haven’t tried any of these places listed above. But it does look like I will be looking for a new Chinese restaurant though.
Any suggestions?
