Arlington Chinese buffet fails recent restaurant health inspection
An Arlington Chinese restaurant failed its health inspection after receiving citations for improper food temperatures, cross-contamination and lack of hair restraints by employees, according to city records.
Forty-two food establishments underwent inspections from May 29 through June 4. No restaurant was shut down, but China King Super Buffet, located at 4515 Matlock Road, failed after scoring a 67.
With 100 being perfect, scores below a 70 are considered extremely poor by the City of Arlington.
