Ashburn Restaurant Inspections: Nagoya Steak And Seafood, King Pollo
ASHBURN, VA — The Loudoun County Health Department recorded violations at several restaurants around Ashburn, Sterling, and Dulles during recent inspections. The most recently published round of inspections occurred from April 13 to April 19.
Many COVID-19 restrictions around the state have relaxed, so health inspectors are returning to conduct some restaurant inspections in person. However, some visits, such as those for training purposes, can be conducted virtually.
Violations at restaurants typically focus on factors that can contribute to food contamination. The local health department can also perform a re-inspection to ensure that possible violations have been corrected.
For every observed violation, the inspector provides a specific corrective action that can be completed to rectify the violation. Sometimes these are simple, and violations can be corrected during the course of the inspection.
Here are the most recent restaurant inspections in the Ashburn area, according to the Loudoun County Health Department.
