Two Japanese restaurants in Royal Palm Place had bad inspections this week. Ichiyami Buffet had the biggest number with 39 total violations including 9 high priority. This is not the first sign of trouble. Last year they had one of the worst inspections we’ve seen, getting shut down with 49 violations including rodents and roaches and caught salvaging fish from old sushi for reuse. They have had some good inspections in between.
Another big number was recorded by Yakitori Sake House in the same plaza, with 31 violations including 6 high priority and a couple of “stop sales”. They had a not-so-great inspection in May with 16 violations.
Although these were bad, the worst inspection of the week goes to Golden Corral in Margate. They had 28 violations including some doozies, and were closed for a day. The worst of it:

  • Dented/rusted cans present, 1 can pineapple and mandarin oranges. See stop sale.
  • Live, small flying insects in kitchen, food preparation area, or food storage area, in dessert area. **Warning**
  • Roach activity present as evidenced by 5 plus live roaches found in kitchen nestled between tiles in crack by hand wash sink, 1 on wall by chicken prep area, in kitchen 4 plus nestled between wall and crack in tiles by chicken and fish reach in cooler, in kitchen, 1 crawling on wall by buffet area, 1 on floor by reach in cooler, in kitchen, 4 plus in coffee prep area, off ware washing area. **Warning**

  • Small flying insects in men’s restroom, approximately 10 plus. **Warning**

Golden Corral “recovered” the next day with only 10 violations, still the 5th worst inspection of the week.
Back in Royal Palm Place, Boca Breakfast & Lunch Club had 12 violations including 4 high priority.
Good News
Turning to the good news, it looks like we’re getting a new steakhouse. Mr. Prime Steakhouse had a perfect licensing inspection. The address puts it in the same location as the former Grill Time on the north side of Glades just west of the Turnpike (near Party City).
The Subway in Sandalfoot had only one minor violation.
Mama’s Pizza in Logger’s Run Plaza had only two violations.
Moving to the not-terrible inspections, Stir Crazy in Town Center had 6 violations with 2 high priority; and Saquella Caffe in Royal Palm Place had 8 violations with 2 high priority.
As usual, our spreadsheet for the week is below:
