Wok's up Restaurant appears in inspection records three times, starting in 2010. The newest entry in the record is dated Feb 8, 2012. Low risk indicates the latest report didn't flag anything that would worry the average customer. Public records show no inspections at Wok's up Restaurant since Feb 8, 2012, so this file may not reflect current conditions.
Things are looking better lately, with recent visits averaging around four violations compared to roughly six violations earlier on.
Looking across the full record, “food and non-food contact surfaces properly designed” is the recurring theme, flagged three times.
Among Chicago restaurants, this is a fairly standard result. Taken together, the history is a positive one.
