Last inspected: Jan 13, 2022
61
Score
Going back to 2010, Chipmonks has 23 inspections in the public record. Chipmonks was last inspected on Jan 13, 2022. Diners should read medium risk as a signal that some issues exist but aren't extreme. Note that Chipmonks's inspection history hasn't been updated since Jan 13, 2022; current conditions may have shifted from what the file shows.
Recent inspections have found fewer violations than earlier ones, averaging around eight violations lately and about 14 violations before that.
Across the inspection history, “physical facilities installed, maintained & clean” is the issue that surfaces most often, recorded 15 times.
Compared to other Chicago restaurants (averaging 81), there's room to close the gap. On the whole, the file is mixed but not concerning.
