Secondly, here are the locations which received violations and a more layman's description of the violations:

DISCLAIMER: I am not saying anyone who frequents these restaurants should stop eating at them or boycott them or anything. This is just the analyzed data from a PNJ article on Sushi Masa's 17 violations and I felt it was only fair to also highlight other inspection violations in the city. If you regularly eat at any of these locations, i encourage you to look at the raw information linked above so you can do your own reading and make your own decisions.
