Asian Star Buffet, Family Dollar on Dirty Dining

It’s a combo platter tonight for Dirty Dining. A buffet restaurant that wasn’t making the grade and a dollar store that’ll give you the heeby-jeebies. Darcy Spears reports.

[@Cartoondude135]

At least this guy come out clean and honest compared to the other chefs and managers I've seen.

[@alextaunton3099]

Yeah, I was gonna say, the owner/manager here is super contrite and seems to at least understand that he needs to acknowledge the problem at least on camera. Like, a really really low bar to clear, kinda common sense really, but so many managers and owners on this series don't seem to understand. I've worked in kitchens before, it's all sensible and pretty easy to comply with. This man at least seems to understand that there were problems and unlike other managers and owners in this series, he doesn't dismiss them or try and dispute that they had quality control issues.

[@mayorebfarnum8114]

props to this man for owning up and making an effort to learn and improve, all those order mgrs and owners in other videos that refuse to talk and close the door on the reporter should have their business license revoked immediately, if you run a business that violates health and safety codes you owe the community an explanation or else be shut down, the govt needs to do better here, its no laughing matter

[@Sillyboy9572]

He seems like a genuine guy, unlike most other who just try and kick out the reporters

Ur full of it ... 😂 ... Both restaurant needs to be shut down.

We order Chinese food from a take out in downtown Toronto…we have for 10 years. Its really good food! Ive got a sensitive stomach but have never felt ill from this place…these stories freak me out!

[@misterfeagall1120]

Chinese restaurants always cut corners when it comes to cleanliness... the employees their hire usually don’t do very good cleaning and the owners somehow are ok with it because their themselves doesn’t really know what’s cleanliness..stay away from those small Chinese restaurants especially those Asian buffets..

[@Jenvlogs404]

Evade taxes too, also knew a guy that had to pay back food stamps, although famiIy owned grocery store, hire iIIegal and use cash.

The grading system needs to be a Federal law.

[@Sailorsecretindistress]

Dirty dining should also expose Hispanic restaurants too

[@andrewfreeman88]

Hiding a Grade should be an immediate closure and City fine...

[@shippertime]

How did they have an A grade previously? Check the health inspector getting a kickback or free meals?

[@dianad6090]

Or a bj

Any business that hides their grade card purposely or by mistake should be shut down immediately.

Respect to him for owning up to it 😶‍🌫️ I hope training and business go well for him

[@moreevents4335]

These non-compliance are very common even among caucasian owned restaurants, the TV stations just discriminate and make public coverage on chinese shops, u won't be surpised they are the same or worst inspection finding in these western shops. However chinese restaurants do have more such bad hygiene pratices. But the problem is TV stations arent showing other restaurants, its too biased.

[@johnsweeney6072]

How can you play dumb to this. Your clean or your not that’s IT.

[@72defender]

Hard to comment without sounding racist... but disdain for cleanliness is cultural. Period!

[@alexm566]

have you watched Gordon Ramsay? Plenty of bad restaurants from all cultures..

[@NatsumiTakanawa]

@@alexm566 - That’s a scripted TV show. Chinese restaurants are notoriously bad. It isn’t even racist. Many people on the asian-American community will warn you the same exact thing.

[@alexm566]

@@NatsumiTakanawa I disdain most of the Asian cuisine except Indian, so can't talk much about Chinese.

My late father was a meter reader for the electric utility in Toronto, Canada. This was "back in the days" when all meters were inside and in basements. He ALWAYS had horror stories about the filth and unsanitary conditions of Chinese restaurants, especially the ones in the downtown area. He saw, over the years, dead rats and mice, live rats, mice and insects crawling over crates of vegetables, "tons" of rat and mouse sh*t on floors, overflowing toilets and even a few dead cats. He always assumed that the dead cats were next day's Chef's Special. True story, my friends.

[@philobetto5106]

I'm finding an alarming trend with these videos 9 out of 10 are Asian

[@matthoskin3572]

Why do you post this same story on lots of other YT channels?. Do you just go around and look for these videos so you can paste this exact comment in them?.

[@elskankhunt42]

Happened to me a few years back. Bought a banner that said "under new management " and "grand reopening " and i was back in business 😎

[@lstruggy]

For Chinese food in Vegas we only eat at literally brand new locations

I feel like dollar stores are just inherently a bit skeevy its part of the charm hahahh

Here's another story. Years ago, while attending Community College in Toronto, I drove taxi on Friday and Saturday nights. (It was safe back then.) One evening, I received a radio dispatch to pick up a take out order at a Chinese restaurant on Danforth Avenue. While waiting at the side kitchen door for the order, I saw two kitchen workers using a pail, situated beside a crate of vegetables, as a urinal. There was lots of "splashing" onto the vegetables. When done, they just "gave it a shake," zipped up and went back to cooking without hand washing. I left without the order and contacted my dispatcher. I found out the following week that he had called the customer and she was grateful that I left without the order. When I called the City Health Department on Monday to tell them what I saw, the person with whom I spoke told me that over 80% of the calls they received about filthy restaurants are Chinese eateries.

[@XxKiDCuDiFTWxX]

People find this shocking, but 30 demerits is not uncommon for restaurants.

[@dionstaples8294]

are there any family dollar stores left? i thought dollar tree bought them out? the one near me is a dollar tree now.

[@c4ttyk4t]

the fact that it’s tear down 0:29

[@teebo5298]

Any updates on them ? He seemed genuine hope he followed through

[@alfiey5783]

I dont even understand why people open restaurants….. customers complaints, the amount of headaches with employees, equipment maintenance, cleaning maintenance, supplies issues, store maintenance, marketing, advertising, food spoilage, for very very slim and small margins for people just to complain, its better to not do this kind of business.

[@franky7830]

Darcy looks stacked..🙄😍

[@Jemalacane0]

What exactly is the temperature "danger zone" for *cooked* food?

[@lindsaytang1017]

between 4-60 degrees celcius, below 4 and bacteria growth is significant delayed and over 60 is like where the bacteria start to die, you are meant to keep food out of the danger zone if it's going to be there for like 2-4 hours or something, idk do some research

[@davidnjuku]

41-134 F

[@bigspoon7984]

There's no money in cleaning.

[@pauletteobrien5200]

Glad they are on it.

[@gexiong7169]

Every store have it own skeleton in the closet! Even at home! Lol

[@randmayfield5695]

They have a Serve Safe certificate on the wall so somebody there has to know something. Here in Arizona it's the gold standard for sanitation training. From my German cultural perspective I would hire a vetted teenager to come in a couple of days a week to just clean and organize and make it worth their while. It would be money well spent considering the headaches this guy is dealing with running a filthy kitchen.

[@dianesobota9326]

These places need to hire constant outside kitchen cleaning crews.

[@ajvasta]

The Serve Safe certificate was right behind him. Whoever took that course was already taught everything they needed to know.

[@Heynmffc]

Serve safe is a joke, it’s easy as hell

[@ajvasta]

@@Heynmffc Of course it is. But all the violations are covered in the course. If they didn't take it seriously (or had somebody else take the course for others) they wouldn't have retained anything from it.

[@123RADIOactive]

…….. do people really needs to trained to know that they need to keep shit clean, especially when you’re handling food in the general public? Also……… I’m sorry but he should just have the whole place shut down if he doesn’t even bother to learn some basic temperature control & even bother owning a damn thermometer. Seriously, they’re not that hard to find.

[@BrandonSugiura]

..and he has a ServSafe Cert?! That should be shredded as of now

[@yoshiandrichocookingtime2959]

Why is it only asians ? I'm sure there are many other nationalities restaurants doing the same.

[@Coheenez]

No coincidence. This series does plenty of episodes on non-Chinese restaurants. This vid is just recommended because of racist comments popping up in the last few weeks, bumping them up the algorithm.

[@AbhinavSubramanian]

Yep, a lot of Indian restaurants I've been to in the US are just as bad and maybe even worse. Of course, there are good ones too. Just do your research and you should be fine.

Luke 11:28 But he said, Yea rather, blessed are they that hear the word of God, and keep it. Genesis 2:22 And the rib, which the LORD God had taken from man, made he a woman, and brought her unto the man. Luke 14:20 And another said, I have married a wife, and therefore I cannot come. 1 Corinthians 11:13 Judge in yourselves: is it comely that a woman pray unto God uncovered?
