Low Risk

Public records show 18 inspections at Mirai Sushi stretching back to 2010. The latest inspection on file is from Jun 20, 2023. Diners can read the low risk label as a sign that recent inspections have gone well. Public records show no inspections at Mirai Sushi since Jun 20, 2023, so this file may not reflect current conditions.

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

The most common issue across all inspections has been “variance obtained for specialized processing methods”, showing up 10 times.

Compared to the broader Chicago restaurant scene, this is about average. There isn't much in the file that would give a customer pause.
