Four Plano restaurants were temporarily ordered closed after health inspectors logged some stomach-turning conditions and very low scores in the latest round of checks. The lowest performers landed in the 30s and 40s on the city’s 100-point scale, while several other spots hovered in the mid- to high-70s. City and health officials say the shutdowns are meant to force fast fixes and cut public-health risks before they spread.
Which spots were closed
According to the Fort Worth Star-Telegram, inspection records show Nizam’s Biryaniwala received a score of 37 and Little Hunan scored 35, and both were temporarily closed by the city. Flamant Rose posted a 49 and voluntarily stopped service after inspectors documented a lack of hot water, and the Comfort Inn food service was also temporarily shut down for the same plumbing issue after recording a 60.
The Fort Worth Star-Telegram compilation covered roughly 110 inspections in this latest batch. Plano uses a 100-point system, where 100 is a perfect score and anything around 70 is considered extremely poor.
What inspectors found
Some of the inspection notes read like a list no restaurant wants to be on. At Nizam’s, inspectors noted “one live roach in a clean pot and another underneath the reach-in cooler,” according to the Fort Worth Star-Telegram. Other violations across the closed operations included food held at unsafe temperatures, pest activity and plumbing problems.
Those kinds of issues typically trigger corrective-action requirements and follow-up visits before normal service is allowed to resume.
Other scores and where to look
Most of the businesses in this inspection wave did not fail, but plenty still landed in the “do better” category. Oasis Bakery & Cafe scored 79, Pita Shawarma 78, See You Again 77, Tacos y Tortas El Viejon 76 and C-Wok 79, among others.
The full, searchable set of restaurant and pool inspection results is posted on the City of Plano inspection portal. The site lists inspection dates, scores and the specific violations inspectors recorded.
How reopenings work
When a facility is ordered to discontinue operations, owners have to fix the cited problems and typically pass a follow-up inspection before reopening to the public. In some cases, including the voluntary shutdown by Flamant Rose, the health department requires formal written approval or a reinspection to confirm the fixes before the doors open again.
Takeaway for diners
For anyone who wants to know what is really happening in the kitchen, the city’s inspection portal is the key record for scores, violations and closures. Checking a restaurant’s most recent report can offer a clearer snapshot than online reviews alone.
