Han Il Kwan in Fort Lee is a really clean restaurant. It had to be something stupid.

They never completely tell you exactly what the violations are, though. Frequently its something stupid like a water leak or boxes of stuff are stored "improperly". Box of something left open, whatever.

If the Bergen health department wanted to really disseminate useful information they would say precisely what the violation was and we could make better informed decisions.

Wow, Felice in Oradell already..... and they're only open a couple of months!!

I think EVERY restaurant gets "pinched" after they open. Saigon Republic did too, and the health inspectors actually EAT there.

I can't believe the Hasbrouck Heights Exxon got a conditional. I tried to get a reservation there for Valentine's Day but they were already booked. Now I am glad I couldn't get in.

Went to the Lodi Sunoco instead. Had a great Truck Stop Cheeseburger that was microwaved perfectly. The side of Wise Sour Cream and Onion Potato Chips was sublime. Washed it down with a 20oz. Diet Pepsi from a supreme soft drink distributor in the Hudson Valley region of New York.

I would highly recommend this place.

i usually don't get too worked up over these things, but i would think that soap is a pretty standard item to have at a sink. if they don't care enough to sort that out...

hey, are these things surprise visits?

I assume so. The health inspector doesn't call a restaurant and say I'm coming in tomorrow at 10 AM!

Anyone been to South City Grill, Rochelle Park?

I've been there at least 3 times and the food has always been very good, especially the seared tuna with noodles.

It's not about the food being good. I've eaten at the Mountain Lakes and Jersey City restaurants and both were very good. The problem is no one wants to get any of those nasty diseases that come from poor sanitation or someone not washing their hands.

True. I should have said, "I've eaten there 3 times and as far as I know I'm still disease free!"

you and me both. i've had my tongue in places that the NJ department of health would clearly not give the "thumbs up" to, and i seem to be relatively healthy.

like i say, i don't give this stuff too much thought.
