Two restaurants — one near Yonge and Wellesley and another in midtown — were shut down last month by Toronto Public Health for rodent and sanitation problems.
On Feb. 23 inspectors reported a rodent problem at Sushi Hana at 591 Yonge St. The inspectors also reported some surfaces weren’t properly washed and an employee had failed to wash their hands before starting their shift.
The restaurant, which is set to reopen after dealing with the mouse problem, is also facing charges for other sanitation issues, according to a report in the Toronto Star.
The city’s DineSafe website shows the eatery passed a Feb. 27 inspection.
The South China Restaurant at 513 Mount Pleasant Ave., near Davisville, was also shut down after a Feb. 21 inspection.
The DineSafe website shows the eatery failed to properly deal with a rodent infestation. The restaurant was also cited for “failing to prevent gross unsanitary conditions.”
The South China Restaurant has a history of problems and was given three conditional passes over the past year.
