A lot of sanitary things are cultural and I guess being Chinese myself dulls you to it but you realize that many ethnic restaurants will do these sorts of things and it's accepted because that's how it is in their home countries - many ethnic food preparated methods will have food sitting out in warm conditions as per traditionally prepared. The CHR calls that unsanitary unless food is kept hot or frozen but it's just the way it's done and nothing is done unless people get seriously ill.

That said, I'm not defending these places but you'd have to be dumb not to realize that many restaurants you eat at all have these sorts of violations to some degree "in the back" where it's unseen. I just accept it because I know it's not pretty back there and I rarely eat out anyway.
