State restaurant inspectors recommended an emergency closure order for Yue Chinese Fusion, 447 Española Way in South Beach, after a routine inspection on Monday, Nov. 9, according to records from the Florida Department of Business and Professional Regulation.

The inspection found 42 violations, the state’s inspection file shows: 10 rated high-priority, nine intermediate and 23 basic. The file lists the outcome as “Emergency order recommended.” It does not describe the individual violations, and Red Sidewalks has not seen the inspector’s report.

The record shows the inspector’s recommendation, not a closure. As of Tuesday morning, the inspection file showed no follow-up visit for the restaurant, and the state’s latest list of emergency closures it has approved did not include it. Red Sidewalks could not reach the state’s license lookup to check the restaurant’s current status.

Inspection results for any Florida restaurant can be searched on the department’s license lookup at myfloridalicense.com.
