The most recent complaint inspection found no violations, and the prior regular inspection's issues (missing employee health policy paperwork, lack of sanitizer test strips, and improperly thawed tuna that was caught and discarded on the spot) were either administrative or corrected immediately. There's no evidence of ongoing contamination, pest activity, or improper food temperatures.
No violations noted.
