With just two inspections in the record, there isn't enough history to establish a clear pattern. The most recent report on file is from Jul 21, 2025. A low risk rating suggests inspectors haven't found much to be concerned about lately.
Things are looking better lately, with recent visits averaging around two violations compared to roughly 11 violations earlier on.
Looking across the full record, “adequate handwashing sinks properly supplied and accessible” is the recurring theme, flagged three times.
That puts the facility ahead of the local pack: the average Chicago restaurant scores 81. Taken together, the history is a positive one.
