Low Risk

The health department has logged 11 inspections at Sushi Samba, the earliest from 2010. On Apr 11, 2014, 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. Sushi Samba's record stops at Apr 11, 2014, more than two years back, so current conditions may differ.

Recent inspections have turned up more issues than earlier ones, averaging around seven violations lately compared to roughly two violations before.

When inspectors have written things up, “walls, ceilings, attached equipment constructed per code” has been the most frequent reason, cited seven times.

Sushi Samba scores about where you'd expect for a Chicago restaurant. Nothing in the record is alarming, but there's room to improve.
