At the handwash stations in the food prep areas including the front counter, warewash, and back prep area, observed a lack of hand soap. [CA] Ensure all handwash stations are stocked with hand soap and paper towels to allow for proper handwashing. [COS] Operator stocked all handwash stations with hand soap. Discussed with operator to provide an adequate supply on-site.

Proper hot and cold holding temperatures
Inspector’s notes
At the 2 door prep unit, measured salmon at 49F, and yellowtail at 48F. Observed shallow pans used for storage of whole pieces of raw fish. [CA] Potentially hazardous foods shall be maintained cold at 41F and below to prevent bacterial growth. Provide deeper containers to assist in maintaining proper holding temperatures. [SA] Operator placed bags of ice over raw fish to facilitate proper holding temperatures.
In plain English
Food was not kept cold enough, hot enough, cooled fast enough, or cooked or reheated to the right temperature. Bacteria grow quickly in the "danger zone" between 41°F and 135°F, which makes this one of the most important food-safety checks.

No rodents, insects, birds, or animals
Inspector’s notes
By the back exit, below storage shelving, observed dried rodent droppings. Observed multiple traps stored in the area. Observed an open front door into the facility. No live vermin was observed within the facility. [CA] Ensure facility is kept free of rodent activity to prevent possible contamination of food. Clean and sanitize all areas with activity. Contact pest control to provide service for facility.
In plain English
The inspector found mice, rats, cockroaches, flies, or evidence of them (like droppings) inside the business, or conditions that could attract them. Pests can spread bacteria to food and surfaces, so this is treated as one of the more serious findings.
