Low Risk

Flying Wok has been inspected four times since 2014. On Dec 23, 2014, the health department conducted the most recent visit. Diners can read the low risk label as a sign that recent inspections have gone well. Flying Wok's record stops at Dec 23, 2014, more than two years back, so current conditions may differ.

There hasn't been much movement either way: counts have stayed near three violations per visit across recent inspections.

Looking across the full record, “food and non-food contact surfaces properly designed” is the recurring theme, flagged three times.

Compared to the broader Chicago restaurant scene, where the average is 81, this is a stronger showing. Overall, the inspection record reads well.
