The News & Observer publishes a weekly roundup of restaurant sanitation scores to keep you up-to-date on the health grades at Triangle dining spots.

Sanitation scores and their corresponding letter grades are used in North Carolina to assess restaurants’ adherence to rules and standards intended to mitigate and prevent the spread of food-borne illnesses.

You’ve likely seen sanitation grade cards at restaurants you’ve visited, and The N&O previously explained what those scores mean and how they’re calculated.

Here are sanitation scores in Triangle counties for the week of Sept. 3-9.

One received a B grade, or a score of at least 80% but lower than 90%.

Hibachi China Buffet (2909 E Millbrook Rd. in Raleigh) received a score of 87.5% during an inspection on Sept. 4.
