Score
Medium Risk

Inspectors have visited Mon Lung Chop Suey 26 times, with records going back to 2010. The most recent visit was on May 16, 2025. Diners should read medium risk as a signal that some issues exist but aren't extreme.

Recent visits have produced comparable findings, with counts hovering near four violations per visit.

“Physical facilities installed, maintained & clean” accounts for the largest share of issues, appearing 12 times across the record.

That's lower than the typical Chicago restaurant, which scores around 81. Taken together, the history looks like that of a busy facility working through the usual inspection cycle.
