San Angelo's Dirtiest Restaurants

SAN ANGELO, TX - The City of San Angelo recently conducted its routine inspections of retail food establishments in January 2024, and two Asian cuisine restaurants didn't measure up.  

In accordance with the City of San Angelo Code of Ordinances, a food establishment is broadly defined, encompassing food service establishments, retail food stores, mobile food units, and roadside food vendors. 

All these establishments are subject to inspection under the Texas Food Establishment Rules, adopted by the City, utilizing a demerit system ranging from 0 to 31 or more.

Noteworthy scores from the January inspections include:

• KUNG FU NOODLE (3363 KNICKERBOCKER): 59 on 1/30/2024
• HIDALGO'S NORTH (1315 N CHADBOURNE): 77 on 1/23/2024
• WHAT DA PHO (3315 SHERWOOD WAY): 82 on 1/9/2024

The demerit scale categorizes establishments as follows:

• 0-10 demerits: Excellent
• 11-20 demerits: Good
• 21-30 demerits: Acceptable
• 31 or more demerits: Poor

Inspections involve a thorough examination of 27 different violations, each scoring from three to five points. 

Major violations, which include issues like time and temperature control, receive five demerits, while items scoring four demerits also fall under the major violation category, necessitating immediate corrective actions. Three-point violations are considered non-critical and allow a 10-day correction window.

The inspection process covers critical factors contributing to foodborne illnesses, such as improper cooling, inadequate cooking, unsafe food sources, and cross-contamination. 

Notably, demerits are not assigned for non-food safety-related issues, such as cleanliness of dining area floors and walls.

The frequency of inspections varies based on a risk assessment considering factors like the type of food, preparation methods, the number of people served, and whether the population served is highly susceptible. Food establishments are typically inspected two to four times a year, depending on their risk level.
