- Cockroach fecal matter in the following areas:

Makes you wonder about the other food places in there.
I’ve said this before. Isn’t it a part of a restaurant job to clean the place. All the restaurants that get closed down ‘cause they’re dirty is ridiculous. After a CLOSURE they should be required to pay for and continue to have a bug/pest control company take care of this. I don’t work in a restaurant and WE have a pest control company come all the time and do checks inside and out.
More found dead than alive, must be the food.
Have not been there, but I know others who have.
Thank You Claycord for posting of Dirty Dining.
Another “one and done” place not to go to – ever.
That means that whole building which includes Seafood City market is likely infested.
Does that mean that Circuit City was too? 🙂
What about Golden Corral, which is next door? Or The Veranda, across the street?
I used to think was the case, but learned not always the case. A while back a Subway near my home was shut down, either for a pest or rodent infestation, think(?) pest. The adjacent unit is also an eatery and was inspected the same day. It got a green card with no pest/rodent infestation.
Well. We should all go now. At should be clean for awhile right????
Sounds like authentic home style Vietnamese chow to me.
