After years of maintaining high-level food safety standards, Thaicoon & Sushi Bar in Marietta recently suffered a drop into the failing range, according to reports. It was asked to voluntarily close until the kitchen was thoroughly cleaned.

Two days later, the report showed, Thaicoon scored an 85 (B) on the follow-up exam.

During the routine inspection Thaicoon was cited for temperature control, storage and sanitary infractions. The inspector noted that the wiping cloths were stored in sanitation solution that was well above the concentration standards.

According to the routine inspection report, several types of food items held at improper temperatures were discarded. Some of those items included meats on the sushi bar.

The inspector also observed rodent droppings in several areas of the kitchen and on canned goods. Meanwhile, the restaurant was advised to step up pest-control treatment, the report showed. In reference to corrective actions that were implemented, the manager was unavailable for comment.
