Douglas County Restaurant Inspections: Bei Jin, Five Guys

DOUGLAS COUNTY, GA — Now that pandemic restrictions are being relaxed and restaurants are reopening, are you thinking of going out for a bite to eat? Then check out these inspection scores for restaurant and food-service operations conducted so far in July in Douglasville and Lithia Springs.

Most of the nine restaurants and food-service operations inspected in Douglas County scored an A, with three operations rating a perfect 100. However, one restaurant highly rated in its previous two inspections — New China Road on Thornton Road in Lithia Springs — posted only a 59 during its July 8 inspection and was graded as "unacceptable."

Among New China's violations, according to the report summary, were missing ceiling vents, "food debris and dust on walls" and a wide-open back door "allowing flies and other small insects access to the kitchen." There's a link to New China's inspection report below with its listing.

Restaurants with failing scores are typically given a second chance and re-inspected a week or so later. New China is scheduled for a follow-up inspection on July 22.

How They're Rated

Each item on an inspection form has a point value ranging from 1 to 9 points, with violations deducting points from the best possible score of 100. Higher points are taken for items with higher risk to cause illness, while repeat violations take even more points

Letter grades assigned are A for totals of 100 to 90 points, B for 89 to 80, C for 79 to 70 and U for less than 70.
