A West Jordan restaurant specializing in Vietnamese Pho was shut down by the Salt Lake County Health Department on June 15 after inspectors found a meat slicer “caked with debris,” “dirty linens stored with clean plates“ and no hot water.

Pho 9, 1823 W. 9000 South, “was closed for presenting an imminent health hazard,” according to a report on the department website.

In all, the restaurant was cited for 17 health violations — 10 of which were considered critical to human health.

The restaurant will remain closed until the owner can fix the problems and inspectors say it is safe for the public.
