70 L.A. County restaurants and markets closed by health inspectors in October — including 13 in the San Gabriel Valley

November 3, 2026 · Victor Caballero

Los Angeles County health inspectors closed 70 restaurants, markets and other food places in October, according to county records reported by KTLA on Nov. 2. Thirteen of them were in the San Gabriel Valley.

The most common reason, in the Valley and across the county, was vermin infestation. Most places fixed the problem and reopened after a few days. Of the 70 countywide, 51 had a reopening date in the records KTLA published, and 19 did not.

No Pasadena places are on this list, and that is expected: Pasadena runs its own health department, separate from L.A. County, so Pasadena inspections do not appear in county records.

The San Gabriel Valley places

In the 626: Duck House in Monterey Park, Navis Bakery and Summer Rolls in Rosemead, Sam Woo in Alhambra, Pho99 in El Monte, and Subway #42503 in Duarte. Elsewhere in the Valley: Golden Panda Buffet in Baldwin Park, Louis’s Hawaiian BBQ in Azusa, Sun’s Mongolian BBQ in Covina, Subway and D’Vine Karaoke in West Covina, Uno Tea House in Pico Rivera, and Shogun in La Verne. Full details for each are in the county list below.

Two of the Valley places had no reopening date listed in the Nov. 2 records: Louis’s Hawaiian BBQ in Azusa and D’Vine Karaoke in West Covina. That means no reopening date was listed in those records — not that a place is necessarily still closed today.

A closure is a snapshot, not a verdict on a restaurant today — most of these places corrected the violations and passed a follow-up inspection to reopen. If a place is back open, its most recent inspection is the better guide.
