Yikes.... But it was still full of patrons, ne?
Probably!
I dunno about a C though, man...that's too much...I even e-mailed them on their website and told them they need to handle that situation quickly.
One of my favorite restaurants in Little Tokyo: T.O.T. (http://www.littletokyorestaurant.com/totmain/index.htm) has had a C for probably close to a year now....needless to say I haven't eaten there in that time.....

Got some suman, sweet potato manju, lemon tarts, and pecan tarts yesterday at a craft fair. Unfortunately, I forgot to bring some to work today, so I have to wait till I get home to eat some. _________________

Sounds like a veritable potpourri, or should I say co-cori, of food....yum.

Heh, there's a mom and pop place in Gardena, Naomi, that doesn't even have a letter grade: just a score of something like 68... And the place is packed every night... _________________

C for an asian place isn't as bad as a C for a caucasian place. I mean you goto those bbq places and they still use a log chopping block, sauces aren't scooped out with different ladles (cross contam), oily exhaust hoods, etc.. that's why they tend to get lower scores.
any sort of pest or dangerous food conditions (warm fridge, cold warming trays, spoiled food, etc) and they'll get shut down. period.

From Cold War to cold meats... sailors from the US and Russian navies have tested their culinary skills in a sandwich-making competition.
The contest was held during a visit by the US destroyer Stethem to the eastern Russian port of Vladivostok to mark Victory Day. Officers also joined in. A Russian cook took the prize for best-tasting sandwich while an American came top for most original presentation. Sandwiches topped with cucumber sails were among the Russian offerings.
The ingredients included peppers, smoked ham, lettuce, cheese, mayonnaise, olives, cherry tomatoes and gherkins. The US winner in the individual contest got a bottle of vodka, and presented his Russian rivals with USS Stethem caps and sweatshirts in return, the BBC's Dmitry Klimov reports.
Earlier, the Russians had laid on a traditional welcome for the Americans, with vodka and appetisers such as bliny (buckwheat pancakes) with smoked salmon and pickled green tomatoes. Yet a traditional Russian restaurant is hard to find in Vladivostok, where Chinese and Japanese restaurants are much more common.
The crew of the Stethem were taking part in a military parade in Vladivostok for Victory Day, which marks the defeat of Nazi Germany in 1945. _________________

I was a little bit scared at first. You know, sailors and sandwich in the same sentence.
