Low Risk

With just two inspections in the record, there isn't enough history to establish a clear pattern. On Dec 19, 2025, the health department conducted the most recent visit. A low risk rating suggests inspectors haven't found much to be concerned about lately.

Things have been moving in the right direction, with the rolling count dropping from around five violations to closer to two violations per visit.

That puts the facility ahead of the local pack: the average Chicago restaurant scores 81. There isn't much in the file that would give a customer pause.
