Kingstowne Restaurant Inspections: Eatery With 10 Violations

Ever wonder how clear your local restaurants are? Fairfax County restaurants regularly undergo health inspections, with the frequency depending on the type of food served and how it is prepared. While violations like malfunctioning refrigerators and food that's not warm or cold enough often pop up, health inspectors sometimes find more critical violations.

"In our experience, it is unrealistic to expect that a complex, full-service food operation can routinely avoid any violations," notes the Virginia Department of Health.

Here are full results for the latest inspections around Kingstowne, including restaurants that passed with no violations. Of note, East Moon Asian Bistro had 10 violations, half of which were corrected during the inspection.
