Score

Medium Risk

Jaiyen Restaurant appears in inspection records 18 times, starting in 2010. The most recent report on file is from Nov 26, 2019. Diners should read medium risk as a signal that some issues exist but aren't extreme. Jaiyen Restaurant's record stops at Nov 26, 2019, more than two years back, so current conditions may differ.

Violation counts have been trending down, averaging around 12 violations across recent inspections versus roughly 15 violations before.

“Food and non-food contact equipment utensils clean” accounts for the largest share of issues, appearing 11 times across the record.

Compared to other Chicago restaurants (averaging 81), there's room to close the gap. The record is unremarkable in either direction.
