RivCo Restaurant Health Closures: Jamba Juice, Lucky Wok, Pizza Chains

RIVERSIDE COUNTY, CA — Ten Riverside County eateries shuttered temporarily over the past week as they dealt with improper handwashing, food storage temperatures, vermin, insects and other health issues, according to the Riverside County Department of Environmental Health.

The department inspects restaurants through unannounced visits and hands out health grades ranging from "A" to "C." Program Chief Kristin Lorge shared the most recent report detailing which restaurants failed to meet standards, dropping from an "A" grade to a "B" or "C" due to imminent health risks.

The Riverside County inspectors shared the details of temporary closures from May 26 to June 25. If you see your favorite eatery on the list, the county health department closed the restaurant until it cleaned up its act.

According to the Health Inspector's report, a Beaumont Domino's Pizza at 1440 Beaumont Avenue, Suite A1 was temporarily shuttered on June 9 after inspectors cited repairs needed on the floors, walls, and ceiling. The shop made the fixes over the next three days and reopened on June 12.

In Cathedral City, Big League Dreams at 33700 Date Palm Drive had its permit suspended on May 25 due to insufficient hot or cold running water, inspectors reported. That restaurant reopened one day later after hot water was restored.

Multiple Jurupa Valley restaurants were closed during inspections from June 8 through June 22. All suffered cockroach, rodent, or fly infestations, according to inspectors.

Lucky Wok Chinese Food at 9165 Jurupa Road was closed due to an infestation of cockroaches, rodents, or flies on June 8, inspectors reported. Poor sanitization and lack of hot water for proper hand washing were also cited. No open date has been released as the restaurant works to resolve the issues. Patch has asked for further information and will update this report when received.
