"The Southern Nevada Health District shut down Yum Cha, the dim sum restaurant at 4945 W. Tropicana Avenue after health inspectors found a rat infestation on February 6. The routine inspection revealed “rat droppings and urine on liners that cooked dumplings stored in dim sum pots; on food packages, containers, and shelves; on prep table shelves where cooking racks are stored; and in containers of utensils including rolling pins and tongs,” KTNV reports. Even the exit door handle had rat droppings on it. The rats left gnaw marks and droppings on bags of flour. Old food on the floor and excessive grease on equipment added to the problem. The restaurant reopened on February 14 with a three-demerit A grade." - Susan Stapleton
