ORLANDO, Fla. – Last week, another three eateries across Central Florida were forced to close after a visit from a health inspector, according to state records.

These records show that the reported eateries experienced violations like rodent droppings, roaches, and storage issues, among others.

However, one of these restaurants — China Lee along South Kirkman Road in Orlando — has already been closed twice this year.

China Lee was first shut down back in March after over 100 live cockroaches and around 400 rodent droppings were discovered on the premises, reports show.

And late last month, the restaurant was told to close yet again after more cockroaches and droppings were found, state records reveal.

Both times, the business was ultimately allowed to reopen upon meeting inspection standards, though just over a week ago, a health inspector reported that China Lee had closed for a third time in a row.

This time around, the restaurant still reportedly suffered from roach issues, but an inspector also noted that a dead rodent was discovered under the make table in the cook line.

Furthermore, the inspection report states that China Lee had issues with raw food being stored near ready-to-eat food, as well as a lack of sanitizer for ware washing.

The full list of Central Florida eateries required to close last week is as follows:


MOUNT DORA

  • Haystax Restaurant — 2744 W. Old Hwy. 441


ORLANDO

  • A&T Buffalo Wings — 4477 N. Pine Hills Road

  • China Lee — 2338 S. Kirkman Road
