Three Arlington restaurants close from serious health violations in mid-August review
Three of the 59 restaurants inspected in Arlington from Aug. 16 to Aug. 20 closed due to serious health violations and two must undergo reinspections to address low scores, according to a database of city records compiled by the Star-Telegram.
For Arlington inspections, 100 is a perfect score. Violations, which are not routinely noted in the public inspection report, result in deductions from the overall score and restaurants with scores 75 or less must undergo reinspections.
Pho 18 at 2216 New York Ave. closed for the third time in August on the 17th with a score of 96, according to the records. The restaurant had also closed on Aug. 7 with a score of 72 and on Aug. 12, though no score was listed for the second date.
