At least now the rats will have a clean place to eat – for a couple of days.
Wow another place not to go to. I don’t remember a longer list of yuck & stuff.
The rats been eating and pooping all over the food areas. Are the droppings optional on your dim sum?
There is another food establishment next door. Check them out too.
I wouldn’t eat there if it’s free, how disgusting.
This is their second time being shut down by the health department in less than six months! First it was food poisoning that sent two patrons from different parties to the ER and now this. Yikes.
Yep, dim sum unsanitary tengs goin on dere!
No way Jose!!!!
Those were *not* chocolate sprinkles on your order.
We used to go to this restaurant but not anymore. Disgusting and sad as this family run restaurant has gone downhill. Too bad client safety isn’t take seriously.
One one of these restaurants is coming to Castro Valley. How does someone/me (common folks) put a stop to this? I do not approve or support is.
Many years ago I use to repair commercial dish washing machines… some of those Chinese restaurants were pretty bad. Worst kitchen I ever saw was in Moraga where one of the guys was shelling shrimp, dropping them into a bus tub on the floor while he sat on a stool over it smoking a cigarette with the ashes falling into the tub. I’d have said something to him but he didn’t speak any English. Grody!
