Number 1 Chop Suey
Last inspected: Aug 20, 2019
41
Score
Number 1 Chop Suey appears in inspection records 23 times, starting in 2010. The most recent report on file is from Aug 20, 2019. The high risk label is a heads-up that the most recent visit didn't go well. Note that Number 1 Chop Suey's inspection history hasn't been updated since Aug 20, 2019; current conditions may have shifted from what the file shows.
Things have been moving the wrong way, with the rolling count rising from around four violations to closer to 10 violations per visit.
Looking across the full record, “walls, ceilings, attached equipment constructed per code” is the recurring theme, flagged eight times.
That's lower than the typical Chicago restaurant, which scores around 81. There are enough flags in the record to merit a second thought.
