Live Roach In Microwave: Leesburg Restaurant Inspections

ASHBURN, VA — Loudoun Health District officials recently inspected food preparation and storage in Loudoun County. “In our experience, it is unrealistic to expect that a complex, full-service food operation can routinely avoid any violations,” according to Virginia Department of Health’s website.

Violations noted below — such as a live roach found in a microwave at Kobe Bonsai Japanese Steakhouse and Sushi Bar — involve those issues that would typically require a reinspection if not corrected or those that are more likely than other violations to contribute to food contamination. They're divided into two categories:

Priority Observations are those violations such as improper cooking, reheating, cooling, or handwashing. These violations are known to cause foodborne illnesses. Uncorrected priority observations usually result in a re-inspection.

Critical violations are are food regulation violations which, if left uncorrected, are more likely than other violations to directly contribute to food contamination, illness, or environmental degradation.

"No priority or critical violations" means that other violations were noted, but do not require re-inspection.

"No items found" means no violations were noted for the establishment, according to the health department.
