The restaurant offers a casual menu with Thai dishes including Pad Thai, curries, salads, and beef jerky. With Pad Thai noodles, a range of salads, the infamous Thai curries, and of course, beef jerky, the restaurant has been serving and operating in Las Vegas for years, offering a range of Thai dishes.
Unfortunately, Sun’s Thai Food & Jerky failed to keep up with health standards despite the good record it had in the previous inspections. The demerits recorded in the latest inspection reached 23, resulting in the closure of the establishment until corrections are made.
Violations Noted in Recent Inspection
In the inspection conducted on Wednesday, April 23, SNDH officials noted various violations that resulted in demerits. Among them were unsanitary violations, including ineffective pest control, unclean food contact surfaces of equipment, and inadequate handwashing sinks.
One of the main reasons for these violations was found to be due to the person in charge, who failed to be present, lacked knowledge, and was inefficient in performing their duties. They also failed to present the food handler card and mandated certification during the inspection.
Meanwhile, there were also some violations which were corrected on the spot, including the maintenance of facilities available.
A follow-up inspection is to be scheduled within 15 days, and the establishment needs to ensure that not more than 10 demerit points are noted in the same, according to standard procedures.
