From King County Public Health:
Macky's Dim Sum located at 317 NW Gilman Blvd #43, Issaquah, WA 98027 was closed by a Public Health food inspector on Tuesday, October 2, 2012 at 4:00 pm for the following food safety violations:
路 Handwashing facilities [presumably the unavailability of them?]
路 Foods not protected from cross contamination
路 Improper cooling of potentially hazardous food
路 Potentially hazardous foods at unsafe temperatures
路 Failure to adhere to approved risk control plan
In the grand scheme of things, these don't sound that bad. (We've seen worse on the Eastside recently.) Background: Macky Wong and Sonny, her husband, ran China Gate in the I.D. for two decades鈥攖hey sold it in 2008, and it has since closed. Then they ran Vegetarian Bistro鈥攁lso in the I.D. and also now closed. Macky's, their place in Issaquah, has order-off-a-menu dim sum (not as fun as from-a-cart, but fresher and hotter), and some say it's great; others, predictably, say it's just pretty good for the area, maybe not necessarily better than, say, Jade Garden in Seattle's I.D., and definitely not better than the dim sum in Vancouver, B.C.zzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
