Low Risk

With just two inspections in the record, there isn't enough history to establish a clear pattern. Inspectors last stopped by on Aug 5, 2025. When a facility lands in the low risk tier, it usually means nothing alarming showed up at the most recent visit.

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

The most common issue across all inspections has been “insects, rodents, & animals not present”, showing up two times.

Restaurants in Chicago average 81, so Paradise Food is doing better than most peers. The file should reassure diners considering a visit.
