Dissecting "one of the best Chinese restaurants in the world"

Meant to post this months ago...

In January this year, a month before the 2010 Winter Olympics, Conde Nest Magazine rated Richmond's Sun Sui Wah Restaurant as one of the best Chinese restaurants in the world.

One of the best Chinese restaurants located in Canada of all places? Makes sense considering Vancouver/Richmond's large Chinese population.

This honour was bestowed by Conde Nest writer Mark Schatzker. His review was subsequently covered by all of Vancouver’s major media. The Vancouver Sun, Province, the commuter daily papers, Global Television, etc.

But a quick search on say, Vancouver Coastal Health's food inspection website (www.foodinspectionweb.vcha.ca) would have found that a "Sun Sui Wah" restaurant was closed March 20 to 21, 2009 due to an infestation of rodents, cockroaches and for "unsanitary" conditions.

Turns out Sun Sui Wah has two locations (same owner), one in the city of Vancouver and one in Richmond. It was the Vancouver restaurant that had the infraction.

Should this have been reported? Does it change anything? Same name, same owner(s), but different location. Hmm...

And no, I have never eaten at either of the locations.
