Low Risk

The health department has logged four inspections at Hong Kong Restaurant, the earliest from 2012. The most recent visit was on Jun 12, 2013. A low risk rating suggests inspectors haven't found much to be concerned about lately. Note that Hong Kong Restaurant's inspection history hasn't been updated since Jun 12, 2013; current conditions may have shifted from what the file shows.

The trend has been favorable: violation counts have eased from around four violations to closer to zero violations per visit over the last few inspections.

The pattern that stands out is “food and non-food contact surfaces properly designed”, which has been cited two times.

Restaurants in Chicago average 81, so Hong Kong Restaurant is doing better than most peers. There isn't much in the file that would give a customer pause.
