How often do you eat at your local Chinese takeaway? Food Hygiene Inspectors Johnny and Faye arrive at a Chinese restaurant for a routine inspection and are shocked by what they discover.
Knowing that their decisions may affect the people’s livelihoods, Johnny and Faye have to strike a balance between protecting the public and allowing the restaurant to correct their errors.
But their job is made more difficult when nobody speaks English and the owners are creative with the truth... But Johnny and Faye left no stone unturned, for better or worse.
Chow Mein anyone?

I thought it was a bib to protect his shirt from corona virus
I didn't even noticed that and now that's bothering me 🤦♀️😂
Well you know what they say about big ties...

I was a health inspector and did restaurant inspections. This is not that bad actually. I've been to Chinese restaurants and the cockroaches were riding dirt bikes
Do you have to have a degree to be a health inspector
Yes
Do you accept gifts from restaurant owners?
@@misterbig9025take the gifts but still shut them down 🤣
That fedora hairnet is a great way to look LIT while inspecting

@Anonymous yes.
I’m hoping sarcasm because lmao
Not saying it’s clean but compared to the restaurants that Gordon Ramsey has been to, it’s literally night and day 🤷🏻♂️
That’s because that show is fake. It is scripted and blown out of proportion.
True
Rene Mejias nah a lot of those ppl really didn't deep clean they kitchens SmFh

Casually slicing vegetables on a red board, brilliant
Is this a problem?Not being funny, but I have no idea, never worked in the food industry.
@@TCM-dw3pz yea man red is used for raw meat! green is the colour for fruit and veg
@@samjeffery1956 I used red for tomatoes and onion, but then, I eat mostly vegetarian diet.
I have worked multiple times in a restaurant where the colour code is just thrown out the window.....
Oh right, ok thank you.
So long as only veg is cut there, whats the issue? If they have their own color code then it works, but given the rest of the video I highly doubt they do.
As an ex chef for over 21 years. Jeez, that place is clean and kitchen looks in great condition compared to other places. If it was an appointment inspection, then shame on them. Would had taken a few hours to clean up and create some record keeping.
That is the part that I found disappointing, it was not a random inspection but an appointment. Surely they could have got the staff to spend 10 minutes cleaning the floors with a mop and brush, also giving the ice machine a scrub. Would have saved themselves a lot of hassle.
@@jcshay8121 People only clean places of dirt they can see. A microwave is a prime example of food spatter on the top that people do not clean. My old place had 5 stars and as the boss, got on my hands and knees to clean the floor, cus no one cares about my business as I do.
@@kcryptouk8124 great job dont lose those 5 stars
I work in a hotel for almost 3 year and the Kitchen was for the Hotel Restaurant and Banquets and the Kitchen Never looked like shit. Glad your not a head chef any more
Not like you knew the condition of the place before the inspection, and if it takes an appointment to touch yourself up then it needs to happen more often to keep them on their toes

@Pretty Boy what's the difference? 😁
The only issue I have with these sort of things is, don't blame the workers, blame the owners who set the rules
The only place I'd eat out is my local pub. The food inspectors always look at them around 12.30 and have their lunch in the place. That speaks volumes to me.
So they are concerned about the food safety and obv the staff is clueless but "they have not reached a conclusion". What was the point of that visit in the first place then?
I'll answer you. I'm a UK inspector.
They would have visited for two reasons. First one is it could've been a routine inspection, so they just turn up and inspect them. Second reason could be that there's been a complaint or food poisoning/outbreak to investigate.
I watched the video ages ago and back on here because of a notification so can't remember what happened in the video but to answer your question about the conclusion bit, that might've just been for the TV crew or the way they edited the inspection.
Typically at the end of the inspection we will know what (in the UK) National Food Hygiene Rating Scheme score to issue them and provide a written report on site of the contraventions for them to put right.
I'm the worst instances, it's too much to write on site so typically lots of evidential photographs are taken and we give them a brief summary before leaving them write an official letter detailing all the contraventions and work out their hygiene score separately due to all the issues. The score determination is based on a guidance document and isn't plucked out of thin air.
I hope that answers your questions.
Close it down until it’s clean simple
This restaurant might be much more cleaner than many other chinese restaurants.
Starting the video with “in Wolverhampton” is trouble from the get go
The waitresses understand perfect English when taking an order so they have no excuses when coming to understand thier questions
Waiters don 't run the kitchen|!
Can’t they close the restaurant down until they can be absolutely sure it’s up to standards??
And if not why not??
Diwondermum worse would do is give them a zero, explain what actions need to be taken and force them to display it.
Agreed, shutting them down (or starting to) would concentrate the staff’s minds and probably improve their English instantly!
The Chinese restaurant my parents used to bring me to for their buffet when I was a kid was repeatedly closed by the health department for a wide variety of issues, but their food was tasty and cheap, and no one seemed to mind. It eventually closed down because the building itself was condemned. I still remember the way the stairs always moved shakily underfoot every time I crept down to the dark, scary bathroom in the basement.
They should to give them a wake up but than theirs the side that they could have had a bad day so they give them multiple chances to fix their restaurants also theirs people who's jobs and business are on the line but still they're too kind, inspectors aren't regular so they could be operating for ages with poor standards
@@NoJusticeNoPeace was it by any chance in Yakima? You're explaining The Royale Buffet here accurately. They even closed too
About 25 years ago I remmeber a Chinese restaurant in Liverpool where a woman was taken to hospital as she had a bone stuck in her throat the bone was removed and it was later discovered that the bone was a rat bone.
💀 god !!
My uncle walked around the back of a Chinese restaurant and he saw what he thought were cat skins in a bin. Later that Chinese was in the newspapers for serving cat curry. 🐈
It's remind me the day an immigration officer was asking a Chinese guys about their documents but the guy who speaks well English just ignored like he doesn't even know e of the English... hahah
This “filth” is literally the standard in America for fast food restaurants nowadays. It’s also a shame for the workers to act ignorant to what the heath inspectors are saying. Trying to get away with playing dumb although I am sure they were embarrassed, as anyone should be in this situation.
we are so lucky all restaurants and takeaways in the uk have routine checks like this here in the UK, can you imagine how bad it would be if it wasn't a priority like other countries
I’ve had a similar situation at a Mexican restaurant, I hear them speak perfect English to the American employees but when I came to the manager with a problem I guess he just forgot the entire language...
I live in Canada, and the same thing happens when I try to complain to a French-run business. No one on the premises apparently understands English. That's when I switch to fluent French, at which point they usually reply in perfectly good English.
Yez
So... we meet here....
@@NoJusticeNoPeace brillaint😂😂
@@NoJusticeNoPeace the trick doesn't work for white ppl btw
I'm still gonna eat it.
My favourite Chinese restaurant was a 5 minute walk from my old house, the food was delicious and the prices were decent.
It had a 1 out of 5 in food hygiene.
Didn't go there again once that was published.
EXACTLY the very same experience!
@@bristolmollard2775 I think all it takes is for one person to get Very sick to shut the whole thing down. Obviously, everyone is happy til you're the person that gets sick.

It's up to the inspectors to explain-
Entire Staff: *shrug and scatter*
I stay clear away from Chinese food 🤭🤭
Keep digging Johnny and Fay.
Your work is very important.
Protecting the public health is an important job for the whole community.
Threaten to shut them down, they'll speak perfect English 😂
😂😂😂😂😂😂
The place shut down over a year ago, it was called "Big Pan", i live down the road from it.
0:46 do you speak any English that shit got me 😂😂😂
I may be the only one picking up cooking tips from this video, but this confirms to me that crispy seaweed is thinly slices spring greens (which I think I already knew), but now I know the method they use to cut it. So cheers for that.
And on a red chopping board the one used for raw meat. Green chopping boards are for salad and uncooked veg.
Filth has taught me to avoid Wolverhampton 😂 never been to the UK, but I’ll definitely be looking out when I’m touring 🤘
I'm from Wolvo and you're making the right decision.
well i've never been there, but we cant judge a book by its cover can we
Don't come here we don't like it either 😅🤣
I had a fucking 35 second long unskippable ad.
This video made it worth it though.
I literally just read the title as "Big trouble in little cheese" somehow 😂😂
These two fill me with so much confidence.......do not! They NEED to be MORE assertive, the public’s health is at risk here!!
I'd have used Google translate
You're a scholar lol

This show makes me never want to eat out. Lol
In Wolverhampton, there is big trouble in Little China: when Johnny and Faye come calling in search for the source for the Corona outbreak..
Look another racist prick, thinks it’s funny to blame people with no connection to the virus, cause he’s white and thinks he’s top shit. Stfu pussy.
the manager : well time to bribe!
After living in China for many years, one thing I have realised is that the word hygiene does not exist. The vast majority of food and personal hygiene practices in China are almost on a medieval level.
Really? But like in every place or just in low cost restaurants?
Asami Cat The vast majority of restaurants are low budget, as only foreigners and rich Chinese eat at high-end restaurants, of which there are very few of in comparison, and only exist as a small proportion in the big cities. Typically, people get their food daily from wet markets, where food is handled without gloves and sanitised surfaces. It’s typical to see meat being strung up all day along the sides of roads or lying on the ground or dirty surfaces, without refrigeration. Cooked foods and vegetables are usually placed next to raw products and animals are freshly slaughtered out of their cages and boxes, with the blood just dripping all over the floors. The animals generally aren’t kept in good conditions either.. Simply do a search for wet markets in China and you’ll see what I mean. The coronavirus came from a wet market, where again sanitary practices are non-existent - there’s no food hygiene laws in China, or at least none that are taken seriously. As for personal hygiene, it’s rare to find soap and paper towels in washrooms. Few people use deodorant or perfume and visits to the dentist only happen if there’s a serious need, so no regular cleaning and check ups. Add in the amount of spitting down the street and public urination and defecation (granted mostly done by children that parents allow to happen) I guess it’s just a cultural thing, but it’s certainly not pleasant. Probably also because China, despite many advances (some of which are in many ways more advanced than the rest of the world), is still a developing country and the people just need more educating. Understand that this is a huge generalisation, so not all Chinese have the same standards of hygiene practice, but from my personal experience the vast majority of the country is like this.
@@jackjohnson337 oh ok, I understand. The reality is worse than i thought because i thought that only small villages were like this or just a little part of street markets
@@jackjohnson337 you're spot on, although pretty much all of these are done by the "boomer" generation.
@Hms and yet people like you would prefer to eating pills rather than a balanced diet. Weird.
From watching all these takeaway videos one thing I know for sure is to never eat fast food from Wolverhampton 😂😂😂😂
Honestly that kitchen is not in bad shape better than most
0:57 that uniform 😂😂😂
How do they serve food if they don't speak basic english? Lies all around
they just trow food on their table
The one serving member of staff could speak English. Why would kitchen staff need to speak English?
@@liamraine1 cause ther in england
@@SK_3PT1 eNgluNd m8Te!!
If your gonna move to a different country and open a fucking restaurant then learn the language, shit business owners
That restaurant is not at all disgusting. They clearly clean it. However, it’s clear the owner told all his staff to not talk to them and do the “speak no English” game
I know it's weird to say, but how can you lie to that male inspector?
His eyes are amazing!
I ❤️ your timing. I heard there's big trouble in big China too. 🦇
@David Meads You realise you don;t have to put quotation marks around "apparently".
And now it's everywhere lol
Corona did not originate or come from a bat.
Wait-
this comment
The should have shut them down for non compliance. A language barrier is one thing ignoring people is another.
Well they chefs don't understand english and I would of ran away too if the camera was in my face.
@@jessicaz7299 still no excuse. They could've had someone translate. Sounds to me like they hiding stuff.
Why would you commit an own goal? It's not their responsibility to answer anything.@@_.lik._2172
Not the health Inspectors job to decide on whether something is false advertising
They title this as if this quality is just limited to Chinese restaurants.
No find the indian video
Not too worrying. I remember about 30 years ago in a Chinese near where I used to live public health officers found half an alsatian dog in the freezer. It was closed down.
I could keep coming up with jokes but I’m gonna take 5 mins 😭😂👌🏼
The title had me dead
Close it down job sorted
LOL "me no speak da engrish" always works
Listen i been here and there and i can tell you that 9 out of 10 chinese restaurants are dirty as hell
Indian restaurants are way worse
"Youw gotta cellah?"
You can tell it was deep cleaned recently. The few "Spills" on the floor were from that day only it seems.
Oil under the deep fat fryers? A couple of bits of vege offcuts? Are you kidding? This is pretty damn good for a kitchen!
He was making da wrinkly boosack noodal with a “tam pon tea” to drink
They’d go crazy if they went to a restaurant in China...
The inspector looks like Woody in Toy story
Why not bring a bilingual agent along with them? That's common practice in the states
They BSing imo - if they can speak enough English to serve punters, they can easily speak enough to talk with an inspector asking basic questions.
@@VaeVictisXIII True. They very well could be acting ignorant just to avoid paying any fines
1:31 Look at the way he holds a pen. Lol!
Anytime a business is allowed to open the health code should be printed out in the owner language. I see problems all the time with renters and during Covid, so many problems arose because or not understanding
If you don't speak English, you shouldn't be allowed to open a business in an English speaking country!
What I’m more worried about is the fact the health inspectors leave saying “they are worried” but allowing the business to continue trading in a hazardous manner! Go team heath inspector! (Not)
Always Wolverhampton lol
Where Can I watch the full episode?
Still cleaner than a typical state house... just saying...
I work in a chinese restaurant in australia and this is appalling, at our place u have to know basic english for a job so when people come in like this they can ask all the questions needed, they are faking it bc they are scared they are going to get in trouble.
They do speak basic English, they pretend not to it's common here. Because why the fuck would you incriminate yourself.
They are like adorable little food Elves!
If I ever visit the UK I’m not eating out in Wolverhampton 🤣
god damn, the inspectors are kinda useless at their job, you'd think they'd have someone who could at least translate. They were enough violations to shut the resturant down for at least a day. Yikes. A pair of wet noodles really. They were kinda cringey.
There are not enough violations to close it down. Something really wrong has to happen before a closure otherwise it is warning after warning with inspections in between to make sure compliance is adhered to.
There is a safer food folder that has sections to be filled in. If you don't have that book, regardless how compliant you are you can't get more than 3 stars - that is bureaucracy.
when i used to work in a chinese takeaway some of the prawn crackers fell on the floor , they put it into the bag for the person to eat .
Lmao bro i work at a Chinese take out place , if the owner saw anyone do that he would murder us. He’s always worried about how people view his food because of cheap ass Chinese places you see in these videos.
that dude fedora is pretty fancy :D
Lol the employees are just ignoring the poor inspector guy and just use the "no English card" xD
place looked pretty clean to me
It does look cleaner then most place Gordon Ramsey inspected.
@@kris0369 the places that Gordon Ramsey looks at are far gone

Those cute hats! 😊
Love the Chinese music....it really sets a scene
What a job all day people lie to your face and you know they do lol.you two are very patient people
Too right, we have poor hygiene in a lot of local takeaway places in Nottinghamshire uk. Any takeaway owner wishing to contradict me in the Ashfield area, get in touch, I will come and do a surprise visit. No booking allowed and a certificate will be issued that’s worth having because its from the customers not the government. It will also be rated on quality and authenticity.
The young chap sounded a bit like BOB of the likely Lads
If you think that Chinese restaurants in the UK are dirty you should come and see one in China! Having said that, I’ve been here many years and never been sick.
This is why I rarely eat out
how would they know what customers want if they don’t speak any english? also i’ve had health inspections when a manager wasn’t there we didn’t keep them waiting just let them do their job
The owner definitely told his workers not to talk about anything....
it's really not that dirty. i'd still eat there
Looks cleaner than some places i been to
Wonder if they use gutter oil?
Hahaha
People say its racist when people say you must speak English when coming to this country. THIS is WHY !!!
I was a Restaurant Health Inspector for 5 years. In 5 years I never found 1 Chinese Food place that passed inspection, not 1. Filthy, disgusting, nasty places. 40% selling unknown meat, rat, mice, dog, cat, skunk, all marinated to hide it. I quit because the state refused to shut them down.
Every time I have take aways the next day Im sick I just can't cook I should try to learn
You’d think a government health inspector would take the time to shave.
You never know what you are eating when you eat out
I'm glad I can't afford to eat at restaurants any more.
Wooo big up wolvo
Thts the big pan lol
Does anyone know what series this is?
Harry Blake I think it’s Grime Fighters or something like that.
