Maybe it's by chance or just coincidence, I've seen small animals and bugs in some Chinese restaurants but never in "Western" ones. And I've experienced kitchen staffs hopped into the men's room and didn't wash their hands after big and small business, but also never seen this in "Western" restaurants before.

I should rephrase the term "Chinese restaurants", I wanted to mean: "Chinese run restaurants". Is that "Japanese" restaurant actually runs by Japanese or Chinese? I have no intention to say Japanese is any better or cleaner or more discipline than Chinese, but just being curious.

Staffs in Western restaurant are instructed to use the staff washrooms, while
some Chinese  restaurants  use the staff washrooms for  food storage, even
worst, for food preparation

Imagine if a kitchen staff once pees on the kitchen floor, would you feel gross if the chef preparing food in the kitchen?
My thought, if the staff washroom is never been used as a washroom as it should be and providing that if everything is clean, then I don't feel a problem if it's being used for food storage and/or even for food preparation.

Please understand what you do in a licensed premise is regulated and monitored by local health authority. You can only do food preparation  at designated area as laid out in the plan. I seen video cl ...

Of course I understand what you meant. But I don't work in the related department, I'm just thinking as a regular customer/consumer. Really, who cares if the chef prepares/makes the food in those designated areas or not? To be more precise, maybe there is a designated counter top only for chopping but somehow a chef uses it to pour soup? The most important thing is both the person making the food and the place where the food is being made are clean (and also the dinning area as well as the cutlery and stuff are clean).

I think, as customers we can have two perspectives:
Either we assume every restaurant are clean (including staffs and food and environment), until we actually see something bad.
Or, we assume every restaurant would have a little something which is dirty but until we actually see they're good.
The fact is, how can consumers know before hand whether the restaurant has absolutely no issue or not before they actually see the problem by themselves or any serious complaints arose to the public?!

If you really want them to learn a lesson as well as to warn other people, you can file a complain without any solid evidence, they'll go investigate. And if the situation is really that bad like you said, they don't really need to "investigate" anything and will see the amazing scene very easily.

Nope. Since the whoever god created both human and rat, there must be a reason for them to live in the world. The problem is they appear in the wrong place. If I could, I'd rather zap those restaurants owners who are irresponsible to the consumers and the staffs and the public.
