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.
