The Japanese takeaway was handed notices for failing to cool cooked potentially hazardous foods, fail to maintain the food premises to the required standard of cleanliness, fail to store potentially hazardous food under temperature control, fail to store food in such a way that it is protected from the likelihood of contamination and fail to display potentially hazardous food under temperature control.
The business was fined $5,280.
About Life Bondi Junction, Harry’s Coffee and Kitchen and The Merekat — all businesses in the Waverley council area — have also been slapped with infringement notices.
Harry’s Coffee and Kitchen, which has scored just one and a half stars on Facebook, has also come under fire with two notices for cleanliness.
One user wrote online: “I asked if I could have avocado instead of cream cheese and got told that the meal was made already. It came out 15 minutes later with toasted bread and fresh cream cheese and salmon.
“Then I had to ask specifically for water without lemon. A flask was filled with hot water. Not just tap water but water of a temperature you would wash dishes with. Food was OK but not worth price.
“Very unimpressed.”
