The Department of Health issued a notification of conviction earlier this month after the restaurant failed to maintain a standard of cleanliness, and declined to address an issue with "pests" on the premises.
It also listed one offence of having "failed to ensure the hand washing facilities were only used for the washing of hands, arms and face" and was fined $23,000 plus costs.
The enforcement agency, the City of Joondalup, has been contacted to ask what health inspectors found was being washed instead and the business itself declined to comment.
The conviction notice went on to state that the premises was in disrepair, "not maintained to a standard of cleanliness" and that "equipment was not maintained to a standard of cleanliness."

The Health Department convicted operator the Australian Leisure and Hospitality Group with breaching the Food Act as the premises were not maintained to a standard of cleanliness where there was no accumulation of food waste, dirt and grease.
"ALH Group and the Belmont Tavern have taken on board and rectified all the issues raised, which were in part due to a breakdown in communication and taken the appropriate steps to ensure this will not happen again," a spokesman said.
