Score
Jieyi Sushi has been inspected 14 times since 2017. The newest entry in the record is dated Jan 10, 2025. A low risk rating suggests inspectors haven't found much to be concerned about lately.
The trend has been favorable: violation counts have eased from around 10 violations to closer to four violations per visit over the last few inspections.
When inspectors have written things up, “physical facilities installed, maintained & clean” has been the most frequent reason, cited 20 times.
That puts the facility ahead of the local pack: the average Chicago restaurant scores 81. The full picture is one of consistent compliance.
