HONOLULU -- The rats returned to Pacing's Market in Chinatown Friday.

KITV found rats crawling around the same food market stall that was infested last week, but there were no rats in the rat trap in the same store that passed an inspection at 8:30 a.m. Friday.

The owner showed us the form that said all the violations here had been corrected.

KITV found another rat climbing though produce boxes and across a counter in another market stall.

At the First Friday arts, food and drink party in Chinatown Friday, people had different reactions to video of rats frolicking in Pacing's Market.

"I've seen one running in there, big … recently," said Harmony Marlow.

Marlow said it makes her not want to purchase anything in the market.

"It kind of does surprise me because they're doing a revitalization of downtown and turning it into the new Soho. Hey, I mean New York has rats, why can't Chinatown have rats too, right," said George Russell.

Sean Priester, the former executive chef at the Top of Waikiki restaurant, just opened a lunch wagon, called The Soul Patrol, that sells meals in Chinatown.

He said customers are savvy enough to know when a restaurant or market is not clean.

"You can really tell right away how well a facility is maintained. I mean, if you got a sticky table and a dirty chair, dirty floors, you just know. So I would say, use your judgment," said Priester.

There are just nine health inspectors on Oahu to handle nearly 6,000 food establishments, so they're inspected once every two years or more.

The governor on Friday defended her veto of a bill earlier this year, which would have raised restaurant health permit fees from $52 to $300 a year, to fund more health inspectors.

"I don't have any second thoughts about it at all. It wouldn't have stopped this rat situation that you saw in the video. The only thing that would stop that is the people there cleaning up their store," said Gov. Linda Lingle.
