At Miami’s 1-800-Lucky, you can buy vinyl records and sing karaoke along with killing lunch or dinner at an Asian food hall. But Friday left Lucky’s management singing the blues in the night after a state inspector closed the food hall.
A customer complaint brought a Florida Department of Department of Business & Professional Regulation inspector to 143 NW 23rd St. in the Wynwood area. The inspector found 12 violations, two of which were High Priority.

“Observed black mold-like substance inside the ice machine at the bar area.”
The bar area also had standing water.
A quartet of roaches was spotted between a wall and food prep table in the Arigato Baby food prep area. Two roaches hung out on a back kitchen prep area wall. One roach sashayed across the main kitchen prep area floor. Another roach did the same on shelves near the front counter.
Those were the living roaches. The dead roach breathed last in front of the barbecue cookline.
“In-use knife/knives were stored in cracks between pieces of equipment.”
“Single-service articles weren’t stored in an inverted manner or protected from contamination” as in bar area straws sitting uncovered, vulnerable to anything.
1-800-Lucky passed re-inspection on Saturday.
