Score
Victoria Seafood has been inspected 17 times since 2022. On Feb 2, 2026, the health department conducted the most recent visit. The medium risk tier sits in the middle: not spotless, but not alarming either.
Things have been moving the wrong way, with the rolling count rising from around three violations to closer to six violations per visit.
When inspectors have written things up, “nonfood contact surfaces” has been the most frequent reason, cited 12 times.
Compared to other Boston restaurants (averaging 86), there's room to close the gap. On the whole, the file is mixed but not concerning.
