Inspection summary

Basasak Chicken Brunch & Dinner has been inspected 4 times by Interior Health Authority since December 17, 2024. The most recent inspection, on June 8, 2026, recorded 3 infractions.

1 of 4 inspections on record found no infractions at all. In the past 12 months there were 2 inspections with 4 infractions recorded. The higher-risk findings here relate to: Cleaning and sanitizing, Food temperature control and Handwashing and staff hygiene.

Recent inspections have recorded more infractions than earlier ones, so it is worth reading the latest reports closely.

What these findings mean

Health authorities word their violations differently, so we group them by what they mean for food safety. Higher-risk findings are the ones inspectors treat as critical, because they can directly make someone sick.

  • Cleaning and sanitizingHigher risk

    Anything that touches food, such as cutting boards, dishes and utensils, must be washed, rinsed and sanitized. Inspectors check dishwasher temperatures, sanitizer strength and how wiping cloths are stored. Poor sanitizing lets bacteria survive from one use to the next.

    Recorded 3 times across 3 separate inspections, most recently on June 8, 2026. For example: 3 Are food contact surfaces, utensils and equipment washed and sanitized in a manner that removes/prevents contamination?

  • Food temperature controlHigher risk

    Bacteria multiply fastest between about 4 °C and 60 °C (40 °F to 140 °F). Inspectors check that cold food stays cold, hot food stays hot, cooked food is cooled quickly, and that staff have accurate thermometers. Temperature problems are one of the most common causes of food poisoning, so these are treated as critical findings.

    Recorded 2 times on June 8, 2026. For example: 2 Are proper temperature controls maintained to ensure safe storage and display of foods?

  • Handwashing and staff hygieneHigher risk

    Hands are the main way germs like norovirus move from people to food. Inspectors look for stocked, accessible handwashing sinks, staff washing hands when required, hair restraints, and sick employees being kept away from food. Gaps here can spread illness quickly.

    Recorded once on December 17, 2024. For example: 7 Are there handwashing stations available and properly supplied?

About this data

These results come from Interior Health Authority, which inspects food premises and other public facilities in this area. We republish the authority's public disclosure data and refresh it regularly; the official record is the final word.

4 inspections

  1. Monitoring

    3 infractions

    • F1.2 Are proper temperature controls maintained to ensure safe storage and display of foods?
      • Observation(s): Various sauces in hot holding units recorded between 48-55 degrees Celsius during the inspection, which is lower than the legislative requirement for hot holding (60 degrees Celsius). The employee on site turned up the temperature of the hot holding unit while rapidly reheating the sauces to 74 degrees Celsius. The sauces were placed back in the hot holding units and were recorded to be >60 degrees Celsius as measured with facility's probe thermometer. Corrected during the inspection.
      • F1.2A Potentially hazardous foods must be stored or displayed at a temperature of 60 °C (140 °F) or hotter.
    • F2.3 Are food contact surfaces, utensils and equipment washed and sanitized in a manner that removes/prevents contamination?
      • Observation(s): 2/3 sanitizer buckets on site recorded 50ppm chlorine, which is lower than the legislative requirement of 100-200ppm. The employee on site prepared new 200ppm chlorine bleach/water solutions for the two sanitizer buckets. Corrected during the inspection.
      • F2.3D Sanitizer solution must be available and kept at the correct levels for adequate sanitizing action.
    • F2.4 Are proper freezing and thawing procedures followed?
      • Observation(s): A bag of frozen food was observed thawing at room temperature during the inspection. Thawing food at room temperature can cause the outer portions of the food to reach the temperature danger zone (4 to 60 degrees Celsius) while the center remains frozen. This creates conditions that support rapid pathogen growth and increases the risk of foodborne illness. The employee on site placed the frozen food in a cooler to continue to defrost. Corrected during the inspection.
      • F2.4B Potentially hazardous food must be thawed using appropriate equipment and/or approved methods.
  2. Monitoring

    Service was great and good was even better!! I absolutely loved my Basasak Chicken with Salad. The Bibimbop was hot and delicious. Absolutely one of the best Korean restaurants I have ever tried.

  • Takuya Kato (Takviator)

    We decided to try this place because it had very high ratings, but unfortunately, it turned out to be below expectations for the price. It was a bit disappointing. The fried chicken was good, but the other dishes we ordered were stewed-style meals, and most of the vegetables tasted and felt like they were frozen. The potatoes and carrots were so hard that I eventually gave up eating them. The only dish that really stood out was the bibimbap that one of our family members ordered—it was the most enjoyable. Overall, though, the food felt below the price we paid, which was disappointing. I had hoped for a meal more in line with the cost. I sincerely hope they can improve and offer better-quality dishes in the future.

    Absolutely amazing! Food and service beyond excellent. Exceeded expectations. Everyone in our party tonight couldn’t say enough great things about the food. This is a must stop to eat at. Will be stopping every time we come to town.

    It’s really a hidden gem in Creston and until we tried it we understood why it deserved a 5-star. The food is crafted with thoughtful ingredients and hearts into making it. The seasoning is perfect and the Japche is my fav!! You can not miss it if you travelling through Creston. They are pretty easy to find it’s on the Main Street and provide parking spot on site. In addition their service is very excellent and pay attention to detail as well.

    Had an excellent experience here! Highly recommended the fried chicken. We had the chicken with the Basasak sauce. The portions were plentiful and the prices were very reasonable. The service was great and the restaurant has a pleasant atmosphere. I would love to come back and try some other menu items.

    Must try. One of my favourite restaurants in Creston. Presentation and food is always amazing. I wanted a burger today and at lunch all burgers are 15% off. I had a chicken burger and it was delicious and HUGE! My Mom can’t eat meat so she had a dish and subbed tofu and she enjoyed hers as well. The female server is awesome 👏🏽

  • brooke janzen

    Super accommodating!! We didn’t realize they were coming in 30min before close and they still sat us and served us with excellent service, Julia was our server and she did an excellent job. Such and lovely first experience here, we will certainly be back (we will make sure we aren’t coming 30min before close this time!)

  • Jillian Imanuel

    Great korean-western food. The place was spacious and had plenty of table, great for big groups. We got the crispy potatoes with grilled chicken and a bacon white cheddar burger. We were so pleasantly surprised by the food quality and presentation. Highly recommend if you’re in the area
