Score
Medium Risk

Across the available record, Misoya Chicago has eight inspections on file, the first dated 2015. The newest entry in the record is dated Mar 5, 2020. A medium risk rating points to a few notable findings at the last inspection, though nothing severe. The file hasn't been updated since Mar 5, 2020, so take the current picture with that in mind.

The picture has gotten worse over the last few visits, with the average climbing from around one violation to closer to five violations.

Looking across the full record, “food and non-food contact surfaces properly designed” is the recurring theme, flagged three times.

That's lower than the typical Chicago restaurant, which scores around 81. The record is unremarkable in either direction.
