Board affirms city recommendation to act on 3465 West Walnut after repeated low inspection scores
Summary
Staff presented a history of repeated priority violations leading to closures at a West Walnut restaurant; the board voted to accept staff recommendations regarding the permit after a presentation and owner testimony.
Environmental Health presented the inspection history for the restaurant at 3465 West Walnut, showing multiple failing scores in 2025 and early 2026 and priority violations including improper cooling, cross‑contamination and incomplete employee health documentation. Staff said the facility had been closed for corrective action several times and that operators received repeated education and citations.
Owner representative Max Dan described cooling practices used for Vietnamese cuisine and said he is trying to modify preparation and cooling methods to comply with requirements. His attorney urged patience and additional time for adaptation to the ordinance change that raised the passing threshold in late 2025. After discussion, a motion to accept the city's recommendation was made and seconded; the board approved the staff recommendation with one recorded abstention on a related item and otherwise accepted the city's proposed actions.
