The O.C. Health Care Agency has released a list of the eateries (including restaurants, caterers and even school kitchens) that they inspected and shut down for the week of Aug. 20 to Aug. 28. Most of these eateries reopen pretty quickly after the health inspectors determine their issues have been resolved.

Two of them were in Costa Mesa. We don’t think that is part of Tustin.
You are correct The headline said the list included 9 in Tustin. That does not mean that those were the only ones on the list.
Perhaps our math is off…but, we only found 7 in Tustin.
1. Tustin Carniceria
2. Rincon de Guanajuat
3. China West Express
4. Kairakutei
5. El Habanero Mexican Food
6. Paleteria Azteca
7. Sushi Bear
All the rest are in Costa Mesa (2), Rancho Santa Margarita (1), Anaheim (1) and Huntington Beach (1). Unless they changed things…none of those are in Tustin. So, either 2 are missing…or there were only 7 IN Tustin. Either way, something isn’t right.
LOL. You’re right. We’ll fix the headline.
Ok. Thank you. 🙂
Is so unfair to kairakutei, I dine with them for so many years and because property incident you have on this list, I wish the best and keep dinning with them especially on this hard times
Love Kairakutei!!!
REASON FOR CLOSURE: Sewage overflow from cleanout from building. And they were able to open back up the next day. Health departments are very nitpicking about things, as they should be. Would you want a bunch of Cici’s Pizzas around? The one in Riverside County got closed down. For one thing, the place was dirty and unsanitary. Some friends in Lincoln, Nebraska said that the one there is dirty and unsanitary, too. Yet, there are people who absolutely LOVE Cici’s…even though the place is always dirty. We don’t know anyone that likes them.
The 7 locations in Tustin just so happen to be the same building.
That is true.
Not quite. 6 are. There is an apartment complex and a few blocks of houses in between those and the one place on Pasadena.
