Jade Palace shuttered for equipment upgrades

Oakland, CALocal News

Jade Palace, a Chinese take-out restaurant in Oakland's Dimond District, faced a temporary closure on July 22 due to outdated equipment, as mandated by the Alameda County Department of Environmental Health. The restaurant's management confirmed that inspectors identified the need for upgrades, leading to the shutdown. They have since ordered new equipment, including an essential ice maker, to comply with health regulations. However, management anticipates it will take at least another week for installation and county approval before they can reopen. Located at 2531 MacArthur Blvd, Jade Palace is one of many local eateries navigating stringent health standards.

This incident reflects broader concerns regarding food safety compliance in the restaurant industry. Local patrons are awaiting the restaurant's reopening, emphasizing the impact of such closures on community dining options. Health inspections play a critical role in ensuring public safety and maintaining trust in local food establishments.
