95
Score
Public records show 13 inspections at Brigham Circle Chinese Food stretching back to 2022. On Jan 6, 2026, the health department conducted the most recent visit. Low risk means the most recent visit produced few or no significant findings.
Violation counts have been trending down, averaging around three violations across recent inspections versus roughly 10 violations before.
When inspectors have written things up, “maintaining premises unnecessary items and litter” has been the most frequent reason, cited eight times.
That puts the facility ahead of the local pack: the average Mission Hill restaurant scores 82. The file should reassure diners considering a visit.
