Score
Moto Restaurant has been inspected five times since 2010. Inspectors last stopped by on Oct 22, 2015. When a facility lands in medium risk territory, it usually means a mixed inspection result. The file hasn't been updated since Oct 22, 2015, 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 three violations to closer to eight violations.
When inspectors have written things up, “food and non-food contact equipment utensils clean” has been the most frequent reason, cited three times.
The city-wide average sits at 81, which Moto Restaurant's 67 doesn't quite reach. Nothing in the record is alarming, but there's room to improve.
