More than 90 restaurants in Metro Vancouver were told to close their doors after they were found with rodent infestations, unsanitary conditions, or a failure to store food properly, according to an investigation by CTV News.

And many more were repeatedly cited -- but not closed -- for other violations, the most common of which were leaving food out that should be refrigerated, failure to wash surfaces, and not providing hand washing stations to employees.

"We're looking for any signs that might lead us to believe there might be an outbreak of food poisoning," said Nick Losito, Vancouver Coastal Health's director of health protection.

CTV News examined restaurant inspection histories for the past three years in Metro Vancouver to find repeat offenders.

[StylinRed]

yeah all restaurants have major sanitary issues, even your top 5 star place has its iffy situations


omg No.1 Beef Noodle!!!

[Gh0stRider]

Number One Beef Noodle on Willingdon Avenue was cited six times in the past there years for pests, the most of any restaurant in the Fraser region.

Another repeat offender is Miki's Restaurant at Surrey's Guildford Mall. It was one of the worst offenders in the Lower Mainland, given a high hazard rating 10 times in the last four years.

Au Wing Kee in Burnaby has been in business for 10 years. It's been repeatedly cited for staff not washing hands and not storing food properly.

shit...ive been to au wing kee and no.1 beef noodle.

That's not bad lol.

The first inspection, some staff didn;t know the temperature for burgers/hot dogs were safe at....Shit....

Get a pair of tongs, give it a look and see.

And some cooler issues, but many restaurants have this issue as typical wear and tear makes these issues arise, i.e: cactus club.

I thought I was going to see rodent infestation or food left out for hours lol.

[!Tigger]

should have the rating system they use in toronto, restaurants / grocery stores. (any place that sells food) corner stores, have to post results on the window. PASS / FAIL / OR CONDITIONAL PASS. ( u get conditional pass 2 -3 times, u fail automatically)

Resturant lose alot of clientele for conditional pass

Looks like the new one is good. Even the old one isn't terrible. I've seen way worse from a lot of places in the area.

I saw several mice run across the floor of Honolulu in Richmond (now Ginger and Garlic). I'm almost sure Kam Do is in violation of...a lot of things.

On a side note, anyone know what the site is for the Fraser Valley?

Man I can't believe I haven't used the food inspection website before this.

What is more surprising is the restaurants that I though would be terrible turned out to have minor issues

The food you eat/drink in North American is way worse than the stuff you eat in other countries. You guys shitting bricks about unclean places is no worse than the shit you eat here.

+1, I'd rather eat at street food stands in asian countries or mexico that are freshly made with fresh ingredients than McDonalds.

[caliber676]

it doesn't surprise me that No.1 beef noodle is one of the worst. Once me and my friends went there, we got a side of Ketchup with one of our meals and after trying it and thinking it tasted funny. We looked very very close and there were literally 10's and 10's of tiny maggots crawling around in it. We told them what was up and they justified themselves by saying they leave there ketchup outside and they weren't the ones that made it so they aren't at fault. They slapped us with the full bill expecting us to pay for the few noodles we ate saying we were too paranoid. At the end of it, we told the chick working there she was a stupid fuck, we were going to call health authorities and that we didn't care if she called the cops. I offered to call them for her lol. I think she was either crying or almost there by the time we were done.

It's a fucking hot dog cart. The danger of eating at Japadog is the same as going for a barbecue in the park.

Improper food storage temperature? You mean how they keep everything in a cooler? LOL...they sell out of everything by the end of the day...not like anything spoils.

[Gh0stRider]

from todays report

The biggest fast food chain in the region, McDonald's, received the most average violations of any chain: about 66 critical violations per 100 restaurants. That means customers were as likely to be exposed to a health violation at a McDonald's as they would be at an average restaurant.

The chain told CTV News in a statement that it has "very strict food safety policies and procedures and based on recent inspections, all McDonald's restaurants in the region are in full compliance with Fraser Health standards."

The chain added that any violation, critical or non-critical, is immediately corrected. Fraser Health inspectors also told CTV News that they would return for a follow-up inspection at any restaurant until such a violation was corrected.

A & W had about 65 critical violations per 100 inspections, followed by Dairy Queen at about 56. Taco Time and KFC tied with about 54 critical violations per 100 inspections, followed by New York Fries at about 51, Wendy's at about 44, and Church's Chicken at about 36.

The chain with the lowest rate of violations was Burger King, with some 13 violations per 100 inspections.
