Score
The health department has logged 18 inspections at Yes, the earliest from 2010. Yes was last inspected on Jan 20, 2026. 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 three violations per visit.
When inspectors have written things up, “food and non-food contact equipment utensils clean” has been the most frequent reason, cited 10 times.
Restaurants in Chicago average 81, so Yes is doing better than most peers. There isn't much in the file that would give a customer pause.
