Low Risk

There aren't many inspections to draw from yet: just two so far. Inspectors last stopped by on Jul 25, 2025. When a facility lands in the low risk tier, it usually means nothing alarming showed up at the most recent visit.

The picture has improved over the last few visits: recent inspections have averaged around one violation, down from roughly five violations earlier in the record.

The pattern that stands out is “all food employees have food handler training”, which has been 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.
