Mamu Thai Noodle, a well-known Astoria restaurant, has been temporarily closed by the Department of Health (DOH).
The eatery, located at 36-02 36 Avenue, was cited for multiple sanitary violations including evidence of live roaches and flies and improperly cleaned surfaces.
The DOH inspected the restaurant on Aug 29.
The restaurant serves mainstream Thai food, from Pad Thai to curry dishes. It opened in 2014 after gaining a large following selling its food from a truck.
