70
Score
Public records show 15 inspections at New Sharks Fish and Chicken stretching back to 2010. The most recent report on file is from Mar 5, 2024. A medium risk score generally means inspectors found things to fix, though most weren't urgent. The file hasn't been updated since Mar 5, 2024, so take the current picture with that in mind.
Things are looking better lately, with recent visits averaging around seven violations compared to roughly 15 violations earlier on.
Across the inspection history, “physical facilities installed, maintained & clean” is the issue that surfaces most often, recorded 19 times.
Compared to other Chicago restaurants (averaging 81), there's room to close the gap. Nothing in the record is alarming, but there's room to improve.
