Score
Across the available record, Chop Suey Kitchen has 28 inspections on file, the first dated 2010. On Feb 18, 2026, the health department conducted the most recent visit. When a facility lands in medium risk territory, it usually means a mixed inspection result.
The trend has not been favorable: recent inspections average around eight violations each, up from closer to six violations before.
When inspectors have written things up, “physical facilities installed, maintained & clean” has been the most frequent reason, cited 15 times.
By comparison, the average Chicago facility scores 81, putting Chop Suey Kitchen on the weaker side. Taken together, the history looks like that of a busy facility working through the usual inspection cycle.
