Score
Across the available record, South China Kitchen II has 20 inspections on file, the first dated 2012. On Aug 26, 2019, 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. Note that South China Kitchen II's inspection history hasn't been updated since Aug 26, 2019; current conditions may have shifted from what the file shows.
Inspection results have stayed in a similar range over the last few visits, averaging around six violations each.
The pattern that stands out is “walls, ceilings, attached equipment constructed per code”, which has been cited nine times.
Compared to other Chicago restaurants (averaging 81), there's room to close the gap. The file should reassure diners considering a visit.
