Restaurants closed or reopened after recent inspection in Pierce County

A restaurant or a food facility must close when an issue that is a significant public health danger is found in the inspection. If it cannot immediately fix the issue, it must close to prevent illness or injury. Some common reasons which lead to closure of restaurants are:

  • Lack of refrigeration or hot water.
  • Misuse of dangerous chemicals.
  • Repeated high score violations.
  • Apparent foodborne illness outbreak.
  • No permit or permit expired in the past.
  • Very unsanitary condition.
  • Please keep in mind that any inspection report is a "snapshot" of the day and time of the inspection. On any given day, a food facility could have fewer or more violations than noted in the report. An inspection conducted on any given day may not be representative of the overall, long-term operation of a food facility.

Following 2 restaurant(s) found with critical public health violoation are currently closed after recent inspection. These establishment(s) will be reopened once the inspector confirms that these issues have been resolved:
