First Wok in Gainesville INC in Gainesville

Last inspected:

5168 Sw 34 St, Gainesville, FL 32608
Overview

First Wok in Gainesville has been inspected 24 times since 2016, accumulating 113 violations — an average of 4.7 per inspection, slightly below the Florida statewide average of 5.2. The facility has not experienced an emergency closure. Employee health policy violations, including failure to report illness and improper health documentation, are a recurring pattern, cited in at least 8 inspections across the record. High-priority violations have also included handwashing, allergen awareness, time-temperature control, chemical storage, and food contact surface sanitation. Fire safety violations were documented twice — flammables stored near ignition sources in 2023 and 2018.

The most recent two inspections reflect escalating pressure: on December 4, 2025, the facility received six violations including multiple employee health policy violations and a Warning Issued disposition, and the following day (December 5) a Call Back inspection verified compliance. This pattern of warning followed by same-day or next-day compliance suggests responsive corrective action, though the recurrence of employee health violations across the record indicates a systemic management issue in that area.
