East Cobb restaurants get 'B' grades after failed inspections Archives

Tasty China opens on Powers Ferry Road

Two East Cobb restaurants that recently failed health inspections got scores in the 80s on their follow-up visits.

According to reports compiled by Cobb and Douglas Public Health, Tasty China on Powers Ferry Road got a score 0f 85 on Friday, several days after a 60 score and a temporarily closure.

As East Cobb News reported last week, inspectors asked the restaurant to close voluntarily on Tuesday after its second consecutive failing score. Tasty China re-opened a day later.

The major violations prompting the closure included not having proof of certified food safety management training programs for staff, not having a disinfectant and written procedures for cleaning vomiting/fecal incidents, lacking signed employee health agreements and having a dirty bulk ice machine.

On the follow-up visit on Friday, inspectors noticed that were employees improperly washing hands in sinks meant for food preparation, as well as washing a bowl in a hand sink, improper food storage and improper storage of utensils in a food prep area.

All violations were corrected on-site.

At Dumpling Garden on 2731 Sandy Plains Road, a follow-up inspection resulted in a score of 89 on Friday. On Feb. 18, the restaurant got a score of 51, with major violations including improper food handling and improper food storage temperature.

On the re-inspection, Dumpling Garden was cited for a repeat violation of food handling and storage temperature requirements.

Restaurants that get scores of 70 or below are re-inspected within 10 working days.

Last month, the Moxie Burger on Shallowford Road got a 96 on a follow-up visit after failing a routine inspection.
