Recent inspections have turned up roughly the same number of issues each time, hovering near four violations per visit.
The pattern that stands out is “management, food employee and conditional employee”, which has been cited three times.
The city-wide average sits at 81, which Star Kitchen's 70 doesn't quite reach. The inspection history reads as standard for a restaurant of this size.
