Fail

A follow-up to confirm complaint-related violations were fixed.

Missing thermometers in sushi coolers and widespread equipment maintenance failures including torn gaskets and improper storage materials.

Key Findings

  • No internal thermometers in sushi prep coolers, making it impossible to verify food safety temperatures.
  • Wiping cloths stored dry instead of in sanitizing solution; in-use utensils stored in 61.3°F water instead of required 135°F or higher.
  • Cooler door gaskets torn and damaged; tape used for repairs inside coolers; cardboard used as shelving in sushi prep area.
  • Bulk foods unlabeled and improperly stored; single-use items in basement stored on floors; toaster oven interior dirty; plastic grocery bags used as food containers.

Key findings are derived directly from the inspector's notes from the Chicago Department of Public Health. See the full violation notes below.
