A backed-up sewer, a lack of hot water and a refrigerator that doesn’t keep food cold, forced the closure of a sushi restaurant in Sandy on Wednesday.
Ichiban Sushi and Asian Cuisine, 109 W. 9000 South, was ”closed for presenting an imminent health hazard,” according to a notice posted on the Salt Lake County Health Department.
In all, the restaurant was cited for 47 health code violations — 31 of which are considered “critical” and could negatively affect human health.
The restaurant will remain shuttered until the owners fix the problems and health inspectors deem it safe for the public.
