Score
Liido Grill has been inspected six times since 2013. On May 1, 2015, the health department conducted the most recent visit. The medium risk tier sits in the middle: not spotless, but not alarming either. Public records show no inspections at Liido Grill since May 1, 2015, so this file may not reflect current conditions.
The trend has not been favorable: recent inspections average around six violations each, up from closer to three violations before.
“Food and non-food contact equipment utensils clean” accounts for the largest share of issues, appearing six 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.
