Restaurant Employee Removes Dead Rodents with Tongs, Leading to Second Shutdown

Rodent Infestation and Discovery

• 🎥 Local 10 cameras captured a shocking scene at May Fu restaurant: an employee using kitchen tongs to remove multiple dead rats from the kitchen area.
• ⚠️ This incident occurred less than a week after the restaurant was initially ordered shut by the state for a rodent infestation.

Previous Health Code Violations

• 📉 A state inspector previously found over 70 rodent droppings near the ice machine, under cooking equipment, and in a storage area.
• 🚫 Despite being ordered shut, the restaurant was allowed to reopen after a reinspection, only for the problem to persist.

Second Shutdown and Further Violations

• 🐀 During a follow-up visit after the tongs incident, an inspector observed a live rodent running under the cook line, along with more droppings, rub marks, and a roach issue.
• 🚨 Consequently, the same state agency that permitted the restaurant to reopen ordered May Fu shut again.
• 📍 The restaurant, located at 15030 Northwest 7th Avenue, remains closed following these repeated violations.
