Medium Risk

Going back to 2010, Maneethai Restaurant — Manee Thai Pan Asian Restaurant & Sushi has 24 inspections in the public record. The most recent visit was on Nov 15, 2021. When a facility lands in medium risk territory, it usually means a mixed inspection result. The file hasn't been updated since Nov 15, 2021, so take the current picture with that in mind.

Recent inspections have turned up roughly the same number of issues each time, hovering near eight violations per visit.

Across the inspection history, “variance obtained for specialized processing methods” is the issue that surfaces most often, recorded eight times.

Compared to other Chicago restaurants (averaging 81), there's room to close the gap. On the whole, the file is mixed but not concerning.
