Closures & Major Violations

Bamboo, 7202 Menaul Blvd NE. Inspected June 16.

The kitchen had caked grease and food debris on containers and utensils, and the person in charge could not demonstrate basic food safety knowledge. The facility remains closed and requires a re-inspection.

Soup was hot held at 85 degrees, lo mein was thawing at room temperature, and an ice machine had brown and yellow buildup inside.

The quat sanitizer at the food prep area tested at zero parts per million, a can opener blade had food buildup, and a handwashing sink was being used to store a chemical spray bottle.
