Low Risk

Kabocha has only two inspections on file, a thin record to work from. Inspectors last stopped by on Apr 12, 2013. When a facility lands in the low risk tier, it usually means nothing alarming showed up at the most recent visit. Kabocha's record stops at Apr 12, 2013, more than two years back, so current conditions may differ.

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

Across the inspection history, “food and non-food contact surfaces properly designed” is the issue that surfaces most often, recorded two times.

The city-wide average for Chicago sits at 81, putting Kabocha on the better side of that line. There isn't much in the file that would give a customer pause.
