ORLANDO, Fla. – Over the past two weeks, even more restaurants from across Central Florida were forced to close up shop after receiving a visit from a health inspector, according to state records.
In all, 14 eateries were told to shut down at least temporarily, though one in particular already closed down three times before now.

That restaurant — China Lee in Orlando — was first shut down back in March after over 100 live cockroaches and around 400 rodent droppings were discovered on the premises, reports show.

China Lee had to close again in April and May, but it was ultimately allowed to reopen in each of these cases after meeting inspection standards.
Similarly, China Lee had to close last week after a health inspector noted some more minor issues with pests and food storage. Again, it was allowed to reopen around one day later.
