Score
The health department has logged 28 inspections at Nadia Fish & Chicken, the earliest from 2010. The newest entry in the record is dated Jul 1, 2024. A low risk rating suggests inspectors haven't found much to be concerned about lately.
Recent inspections have turned up roughly the same number of issues each time, hovering near four violations per visit.
When inspectors have written things up, “walls, ceilings, attached equipment constructed per code” has been the most frequent reason, cited 14 times.
That falls roughly in the middle of the pack for Chicago restaurants. The file should reassure diners considering a visit.
