Health department closes Chopstix with a cockroach infestation | Eater Vegas

"After a customer complained on January 16 about finding cockroaches in their food, I learned the Southern Nevada Health District shut down Chopstix Express at 2381 E. Windmill Lane when inspectors discovered a multi-generational roach infestation—live and dead cockroaches and roach feces littered the restaurant. Inspectors also noted that a recent pest-control report had flagged dirty conditions, including grease buildup and old food debris that were not cleaned, and they found frozen fish and chicken thawing at room temperature next to a dirty sink as well as raw beef, raw chicken, and broccoli all prepared on the same table in the kitchen. The restaurant was returned to a zero-demerit A grade on January 17; it had previously been closed in 2015 with 47 demerits and in 2006 with 45 demerits. I also noted that the health district conducts unannounced inspections at least once a year and routinely shuts down restaurants that receive more than 40 demerits, with inspections posted online about five days after the inspection." - Susan Stapleton
