1005 E DIMOND BLVD , ANCHORAGE AK 99551-5
The most recent inspection found the handwashing sink was blocked and lacked paper towels, but staff fixed it on the spot and the issue was corrected during the visit. There's no evidence of food temperature abuse, contamination, or pest problems, so it's reasonably safe to eat here, though it's worth keeping an eye on hygiene practices.
A handwashing sink shall be maintained so that it is accessible at all times for employee use. AMC 16.60.160(5-205.11.A) ***Facilities must be maintained in a condition that promotes handwashing and restricted for that use. Convenient accessibility of a handwashing facility encourages timely handwashing which provides a break in the chain of contamination from the hands of food employees to food or food-contact surfaces. Sinks used for food preparation and ware washing can become sources of contamination if used as handwashing facilities by employees returning from the toilet or from duties which have contaminated their hands. ***OBSERVED HANDWASHING STATION LOCATED DIRECTLY ADJACENT TO THE 3 COMPARTMENT SINK THAT HAD USED UTENSILS BEING STORED WITHIN IT AT THE START OF THIS INSPECTION.
