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.
