FAIRFAX CITY, VA — Seven Fairfax City food establishments were cited for health code violations during routine inspections conducted between July 1 and July 14, according to Fairfax County Health Department inspection reports. The reports document conditions observed at the time of each inspection, and many violations were corrected before inspectors concluded their visits.
Pad Thai Restaurant
11199 Lee Highway, Fairfax
Inspection Date: July 1, 2026
Inspectors cited Pad Thai Restaurant after finding the person in charge could not provide the required employee health policy and the restaurant lacked written procedures for responding to vomiting or diarrheal events. During the inspection, the Fairfax County Health Department provided the required materials electronically and instructed management to print, maintain and implement them on site.
Gaming Giant
3925 Chain Bridge Road, Suite 201, Fairfax
Inspection Date: July 1, 2026
Inspectors found several retail practice violations, including beverages stored directly on the floor in a storage room, an unlabeled spray bottle containing water and an ice scoop stored with its handle inside the ice machine. Staff labeled the spray bottle and repositioned the ice scoop during the inspection, while inspectors instructed employees to keep beverages at least 6 inches off the floor.
Hashi
4090 Jermantown Road, Fairfax
Inspection Date: July 2, 2026
Inspectors cited Hashi for several priority violations, including raw chicken stored above soy sauce, raw tuna stored above cooked shrimp, onion curry sauce held below the required hot-holding temperature and employees using a handwashing sink to dump ice and rinse towels. Staff corrected the violations during the inspection by reorganizing food storage, reheating the sauce to the proper temperature and limiting the handwashing sink to its intended use.
Fairfax Deli
10721 Main St., Suite 106, Fairfax
Inspection Date: July 9, 2026
Inspectors found the deli's menu lacked the required consumer advisory for eggs that may be served raw or undercooked upon request. Inspectors instructed the restaurant to add an asterisk to applicable menu items and include the required consumer advisory statement by July 19. A follow-up inspection was scheduled.
Lai Lai Malatang
10780 Fairfax Blvd., Fairfax
Inspection Date: July 9, 2026
Inspectors observed an employee using the same tongs to handle raw frozen beef and uncooked cabbage, creating a cross-contamination risk. Inspectors also found the kitchen handwashing sink lacked paper towels. Employees switched to separate utensils for raw and ready-to-eat foods and stocked the sink with paper towels during the inspection.
Andy's Pizza Fairfax
10408 Fairfax Blvd., Fairfax
Inspection Date: July 11, 2026
Inspectors found leafy greens held above the required cold-holding temperature, prompting staff to discard salads that exceeded acceptable temperatures. Inspectors also found pizza and tomato sauce being held under time as a public health control without the required four-hour discard time markings. Employees labeled the food during the inspection.
Layered
3924 Blenheim Blvd., Fairfax
Inspection Date: July 8, 2026
Inspectors found ice and drink residue stored in a designated handwashing sink and foods held using time as a public health control without the required four-hour discard time markings. Inspectors also observed wet wiping cloths stored on counters instead of in sanitizer solution. Staff corrected the violations during the inspection.
The Fairfax County Health Department conducts routine inspections of permitted food establishments to evaluate compliance with Virginia food safety regulations. Inspection reports reflect conditions observed at the time of each inspection. The presence of violations does not necessarily indicate an immediate health hazard, and many violations are corrected while inspectors are on site.
This report includes only Fairfax City establishments inspected between July 1 and July 14, 2026, that were cited for one or more health code violations. Establishments with no violations and duplicate inspection reports were omitted.
