Kyoku Sushi

2518 N Lincoln Ave, Chicago, IL 60614
Japanese / Sushi
Last inspected: May 18, 2022
78
Score
Low Risk

The health department has logged three inspections at Kyoku Sushi, the earliest from 2022. The newest entry in the record is dated May 18, 2022. Diners can read the low risk label as a sign that recent inspections have gone well. The file hasn't been updated since May 18, 2022, so take the current picture with that in mind.

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

Looking across the full record, “management, food employee and conditional employee” is the recurring theme, flagged three times.

That's lower than the typical Chicago restaurant, which scores around 81. The file should reassure diners considering a visit.
