Hong Kong Wrong: Restaurant Inspections

Hong Kong Palace leads off our restaurant inspection report with 23 total violations. It’s not as bad as that sounds since only two of the violations were marked as high priority:

In the good news, a new restaurant in Town Center called Sliderz had a perfect licensing inspection.
They are planning to have a smart phone app that will allow “guests to place their order from within the mall.” Their food is made with “grass-fed meats, line-caught fish, free-range chicken all free of antibiotics and hormones.”
Chick Fil A in the mall and Domino’s on Powerline both had perfect routine inspections.
Near perfect inspections (1 minor violation) were recorded by Jon Smith Subs in Mission Bay, Juice & Java on St. Andrews, and Yogurt Rendezvous on Beracasa.
