The state Department of Health has shut down a Wailuku restaurant due to a cockroach infestation and other health violations.
Wei Wei BBQ & Noodle House at 210 Imi Kala St. No. 201 received a red “closed” placard on Wednesday following a routine inspection, during which a DOH inspector observed about 70 adult and juvenile roaches throughout the establishment, including behind and beneath equipment, in the ware washing room on shelves that hold clean pots and pans and on single-service to-go containers in the kitchen, according to a DOH news release.
Other critical violations included:
• Roach excrement, egg cases (including one actively hatching) and dead roaches throughout the facility.
• Accumulation of grease and food debris, which serves as a food source for roaches.
• Several to-go containers on shelves above the prepline covered in roach excrement. Containers were discarded at the time of inspection.
Before the restaurant can reopen, the Health Department is requiring that it conduct professional pest control treatments to eradicate the roach infestation, provide invoices for the pest control to the district inspector and deep clean to eliminate all potential pest food sources.
A follow-up inspection is scheduled for Friday.
