Sacramento restaurant closed over rodent droppings. What else did inspectors find?

Sacramento County Health Inspectors gave a red placard to a Japanese fusion restaurant after finding about 20 rodent droppings throughout the facility. Additionally, 12 restaurants were cited for unattended raw chicken, gunk found on a can opener and a missing food safety certificate. What do these inspections mean? While a yellow placard signals two or more major violations, these are typically corrected or mitigated during the inspection, according to the Sacramento County Retail Food Inspection Guide . A red placard, however, signals “imminent danger to public health and safety” and suspends an establishment’s health permit until violations are corrected. This could include, but is not limited to, major vermin contamination . In contrast, a green placard means a restaurant passed inspection. The county performs about 14,000 inspections annually and about 97% of establishments pass, spokesman Ken Casparis previously told The Sacramento Bee. Approximately 1% of inspections result in a closure, he said. These were the results of Sacramento County food facility inspections for Thursday, Oct. 29, through Wednesday, Nov. 4. If an inspection listed below needs clarification, business owners can email The Sacramento Bee at servicejournalists@sacbee.com .

Downtown Sacramento restaurant abruptly shuts, workers file suit alleging wage theft

Echo & Rig, the steakhouse and butcher shop in Downtown Commons inside Sacramento’s Kimpton Sawyer Hotel, appears to have abruptly closed, and an employee has filed a class action lawsuit on behalf of himself and others who the suit alleges have not been paid. The lawsuit was filed Nov. 2 in Sacramento Superior Court by Gavrilov & Brooks on behalf of Micah Bramwell and other employees at the restaurant, which is at 500 J St. Suite 150. The suit accuses the restaurant and its owner of failure to pay timely wages, failure to pay all wages upon separation, noncompliant wage statements, rest break violations, failure to reimburse necessary business expenses and unfair business practices. The plaintiff is seeking to recover the underpaid damages, penalties, interest, attorney’s fees and costs. TikTok user Erika posted a video on Thursday showing text from an email from the management and images of the empty restaurant. “Unfortunately today we received (an) email, that they decided to (close) their doors forever at the Sacramento location ... and none of the staff including myself got paid! Some of them were over 10+ checks probably more! Some servers are owed over 10k in tips,” the caption says. The

Sacramento rats, food recalls and a new Roseville restaurant. Here's what to know

Sacramento-area residents have a mix of news to track this Thursday, from pest problems to pantry safety to a new dining option. Here’s a quick look at three stories making headlines. Sacramento ranked No. 20 on Orkin’s 2026 list of the 50 worst U.S. cities for rodent infestations, and a Terminix home inspector told The Bee that rats and mice seek warmth and shelter indoors during colder months , squeezing through holes as small as a dime to nest in walls. October brought a wave of food recalls affecting California shoppers , including WinCo salsa bean dip trays tied to peperoncini from a company linked to a dead mouse video, a frozen lemon alfredo fettuccine sold at Walmart for possible listeria, more than 122,000 cases of Gatorade with undeclared yellow dyes and Once Upon a Farm toddler snack bars pulled over a choking hazard. Bohl, the Elk Grove salad and rice bowl spot owned by former Dutch Bros franchisees Hailey and Kyle Garret, is opening a second location at 10357 Fairway Drive in Roseville in 2027 , serving signature bowls like the “lettuce enter the dragon” and “steak me outside” alongside build-your-own options.
