Low Risk

With just two inspections in the record, there isn't enough history to establish a clear pattern. The most recent report on file is from Apr 29, 2026. When a facility lands in the low risk tier, it usually means nothing alarming showed up at the most recent visit.

Things have been moving the wrong way, with the rolling count rising from around zero violations to closer to five violations per visit.

Compared to other Chicago restaurants (averaging 81), there's room to close the gap. The inspection history reads as standard for a restaurant of this size.
