Low Risk

With just two inspections in the record, there isn't enough history to establish a clear pattern. On Apr 30, 2026, the health department conducted the most recent visit. 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 nine violations to closer to one violation per visit over the last few inspections.

When inspectors have written things up, “procedures for responding to vomiting and diarrheal events” has been the most frequent reason, cited two times.

That puts the facility ahead of the local pack: the average Chicago restaurant scores 81. Overall, the inspection record reads well.
