Score
Inspectors have visited Yummy Buffet 44 times, with records going back to 2010. The latest inspection on file is from Jul 17, 2025. A medium risk rating points to a few notable findings at the last inspection, though nothing severe.
There hasn't been much movement either way: counts have stayed near six violations per visit across recent inspections.
“Insects, rodents, & animals not present” comes up most often, recorded 18 times in the inspection record.
The city-wide average sits at 81, which Yummy Buffet's 67 doesn't quite reach. Nothing in the record is alarming, but there's room to improve.
