Low Risk

Public records show four inspections at Orange stretching back to 2010. The most recent visit was on Jun 14, 2012. Diners can read the low risk label as a sign that recent inspections have gone well. The file hasn't been updated since Jun 14, 2012, so take the current picture with that in mind.

Recent inspections have turned up roughly the same number of issues each time, hovering near two violations per visit.

The pattern that stands out is “food and non-food contact surfaces properly designed”, which has been cited three times.

That puts the facility ahead of the local pack: the average Chicago restaurant scores 81. There isn't much in the file that would give a customer pause.
