Dol Sot Korean Cuisine in Gilman Village was closed by a public health food inspector Tuesday, April 30, for having potentially hazardous foods at unsafe temperatures, among other violations. It re-opened May 1 after correcting the issues.

The restaurant also was closed March 28 for health violations. It reopened then on April 1.

Mark Rowe, manager of the food protection program for public health – Seattle and King County, said the same issues were found in each closure. There have been no reports of food-borne illness Rowe said.

“Our inspector has been out there several times and expressed concern over the situation, and performed site inspections,” Rowe said.

He said the inspector’s visit on April 30 was to see if Dol Sot had made the changes recommended in the March 28 inspection.

“Inspections are typically one to three times a year, but given they’ve had recent closures they might be re-inspected unannounced,” Rowe said.

He said the most effective way to deal with these situations is to keep educating — to punctuate an effective way for them to do business without these violations occurring.

“Hopefully this is a wake-up call for them,” Rowe said.
