Inspector’s notes
At the cold holding area of the self-service bar observed imitation crab meat at 52F cut bamboo shoots 55F kimchii 54F; the person in charge states the foods had been removed from the walk-in refrigerator at 7:00pm and directed staff to put ice on the foods and in trays under the foods and the foods were at 41F within 30 minutes; the person in charge will contact a repair person in the morning to have the cold holding units at the self-service bar repaired or replaced. Hold TCS foods at 41F or below.

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.
