Vienna Restaurant Inspections: Raw Fish Stored Over Cooked Food

VIENNA, VA — Fairfax County restaurants regularly undergo health inspections, with the frequency depending on the type of food served and how it is prepared.

The Virginia Department of Health notes in a statement, “In our experience, it is unrealistic to expect that a complex, full-service food operation can routinely avoid any violations." While violations like malfunctioning refrigerators and food that's not warm or cold enough often pop up, health inspectors sometimes note more critical violations.

Here are the results from recent inspections around Vienna, including restaurants that passed with no violations. Among the violations was raw fish and other seafood and meat stored over cooked foods at Passion Fin Bistro & Sushi Bar. This violation was corrected during the inspection.
