Malaysia Grill, at 224 West 104th Street, is a go-to spot for takeout for many Upper West Siders. The food is cheap and it hits the spot.

“This diminutive Upper West Side eatery on a quiet block near Broadway is a hit for three reasons: Big portions, low prices, and generally well-executed Southeast Asian comfort food,” says a New York magazine review.

Some people have clearly fallen in love: “Best Pad Thai in NYC hands down,” said one reviewer on Google+.

But the health department found some things that are not so appetizing, including evidence of mice, causing the city to shut the restaurant down this weekend.

The restaurant racked up 58 points worth of violations:
