This week's health inspection saw one restaurant fail, while roaches or insects were found in four others restaurants.
Sekisui, 1120 Houston Street, failed this week's health inspection with a 63 out of 100 - a failing score is anything lower than a 70. The restaurant was cited for not having paper towels at the hand sink, no hot water, food not properly covered or protected, spoiled produce in walk-in cooler, wet wiping cloths stored in working surfaces, utensils stored in standing water and multiple dirty surfaces throughout the kitchen and in prep areas.
China King, located at 2100 Hamilton Place Blvd., scored a 77, and was cited for roaches observed in the kitchen, wet wiping cloth on the counter, uncovered food in the cooler and the ice scoop was stored in the ice maker.
China Gourmet at 321 Browns Ferry Road scored an 80, which is essentially a B in most grade schools. However, insects were present, food wasn't properly protected/stored, wiping cloths were not properly stored and the date marking wasn't done correctly.
Two other restaurants, Hunan Wok I at 2201 E. 23rd Street, and Portofino at 6407 Ringgold Road, scored an 82 and an 83 respectively.
Hunan Wok I was cited for signs of insects, wiping cloths not stored in sanitizer, garbage not properly disposed and poor ventilation.
Portofino also had signs of insects, in addition to contamination not prevented during food prep and utensils not stored properly.
