Moldy food, fruit flies lead to restaurant temporarily closing

The food was so bad at one downtown Atlanta restaurant it had to be thrown away, forcing the business to close its doors for a few days.

The owner of Wok’N’Roll, located on Auburn Avenue, told Channel 2 Action News it closed to clean up the problems in the restaurant. The business got a 38 on its recent health inspection.

Molded lettuce in a walk-in cooler, food debris on the wall and fruit flies were just a few of the problems found during the inspection, according to the news station.

A few customers immediately had a change of heart when hearing the score.

“I was going to eat there because it’s right next to my office, but not with a 38,” Daniel Evans told Channel 2.

The restaurant had received a 90 on its previous score, Channel 2 reported. It will be reinspected later this month.
