ORIGINAL STORY

A Cobb County restaurant will have to clean up its act after receiving a failing grade on its food service inspection.

Chin Chin Chinese Restaurant at 2800 Spring Road Suite A near Smyrna received a 57, or U, on its March 18 inspection conducted by the Cobb & Douglas Public Health Department.

Anything below a 70 is considered failing. According to the report, Chin Chin was cited for a slew of violations, some of which include:

  • employees not washing their hands after handling trash;
  • not providing soap or paper towels at hand sinks;
  • uncovered food stored in coolers;
  • warm food not holding at its proper temperature;
  • uncovered food and sauce placed on dining tables for consumption;
  • cooked dumplings stored on the floor;
  • cooked chicken stored on a sink's drain;
  • raw shrimp thawing in a vegetable sink;
  • a towel propping open the back door; and
  • used utensils stored between equipment and prep tables.

To improve its score, Simon Chou, a manager with Chin Chin, said the restaurant’s will be “following the instructions” the inspector provided to them following the review.

Chou said the flop was a result of him being short-staffed while trying to prepare for Monday’s lunch and dinner service.

A follow-up inspection is scheduled for April 1.
