2100 East 14th Street, Des Moines, 50316 Iowa, United States

Closure Date: 09/07/2022

The owner agreed to close the establishment due to the presence of live roaches throughout the kitchen and dining room. During the visit, the inspector observed the restaurant was also using Raid cockroach spray rather than a commercial-grade spray suitable for use in restaurants. A sticky trap near the kitchen handwashing sink was littered with multiple dead cockroaches, and there were multiple live, “adult and juvenile roaches” observed throughout the restaurant. The inspector also observed multiple flies throughout the dining room area. In addition, the inspector observed raw fish stored in a bucket in the dining room without any temperature control. Also noted the presence of multiple take-home frozen meals that were not marked with their preparation dates. Also, cooked meat had not been marked with its preparation date and opened packages of hot dogs were not marked with their opening dates.
