Score
Minghin Cuisine appears in inspection records 26 times, starting in 2014. Minghin Cuisine was last inspected on Feb 10, 2026. Medium risk typically reflects a handful of issues that inspectors wrote up but didn't deem critical.
Recent visits have flagged more than earlier ones: around eight violations per visit lately, up from roughly five violations before.
The most common issue across all inspections has been “physical facilities installed, maintained & clean”, showing up 27 times.
Restaurants in Chicago average 81, so Minghin Cuisine trails the local norm. Nothing in the record is alarming, but there's room to improve.
