Score

Low Risk

Nano Sushi has a thin inspection record, with only two visits on file so far. The newest entry in the record is dated Oct 21, 2013. A low risk tier reflects an inspection that turned up minimal issues. Nano Sushi's record stops at Oct 21, 2013, more than two years back, so current conditions may differ.

The trend has been favorable: violation counts have eased from around five violations to closer to three violations per visit over the last few inspections.

When inspectors have written things up, “refrigeration and metal stem thermometers provided and conspicuous” has been the most frequent reason, cited two times.

Compared to the broader Chicago restaurant scene, where the average is 81, this is a stronger showing. The record reflects steady performance over time.
