Score
Ila's appears in inspection records three times, starting in 2025. The newest entry in the record is dated Sep 2, 2025. Medium risk typically reflects a handful of issues that inspectors wrote up but didn't deem critical.
There hasn't been much movement either way: counts have stayed near seven violations per visit across recent inspections.
Looking across the full record, “physical facilities installed, maintained & clean” is the recurring theme, flagged three times.
That's lower than the typical Chicago restaurant, which scores around 81. The full record sits in fairly typical territory for a working restaurant.
