Score
Going back to 2019, Thai Spoon and Sushi has nine inspections in the public record. The newest entry in the record is dated Sep 22, 2023. Low risk means the most recent visit produced few or no significant findings. The file hasn't been updated since Sep 22, 2023, so take the current picture with that in mind.
The trend has been favorable: violation counts have eased from around 10 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 10 times.
Among Chicago restaurants, the typical score is 81; Thai Spoon and Sushi is comfortably above that bar. The record reflects steady performance over time.
