Score
Public records show 25 inspections at Sushi X stretching back to 2010. The most recent visit was on Aug 19, 2025. Low risk means the most recent visit produced few or no significant findings.
The trend has been favorable: violation counts have eased from around eight violations to closer to five violations per visit over the last few inspections.
When inspectors have written things up, “physical facilities installed, maintained & clean” has been the most frequent reason, cited 13 times.
Restaurants in Chicago average 81, so Sushi X is doing better than most peers. The full picture is one of consistent compliance.
