Restaurant inspections

County officials regularly inspect food facilities to ensure compliance with state laws. Here, Lookout Eugene-Springfield reports both those who have passed the inspections and those where the county observed issues that need correction. The county’s full ongoing reports are available here.

  • Splash! At Lively Park at 6100 Thurston Rd. passed a county health inspection on Sept. 10 with no issues. (view report)
     
  • Lani Moku Grill at 5547 Main St. was cited for issues during a county health inspection on Sept. 10. The restaurant scored 95 out of 100. Inspectors found raw rockfish stored above ready-to-eat foods, risking contamination; this was corrected during the visit by reorganizing the freezer. The gaskets on two refrigerators are damaged and need repair or replacement to keep equipment in good condition. Additionally, the lighting in the walk-in refrigerator is too dim and must be increased to meet safety standards. Overall, the restaurant addressed the main issues promptly but needs to fix equipment and improve lighting to maintain food safety. (view report)
