Score
Inspectors have visited Yusho 10 times, with records going back to 2011. On Nov 10, 2016, the health department conducted the most recent visit. A low risk tier reflects an inspection that turned up minimal issues. The file hasn't been updated since Nov 10, 2016, so take the current picture with that in mind.
Performance has remained roughly level over recent inspections, averaging near four violations each time.
Looking across the full record, “walls, ceilings, attached equipment constructed per code” is the recurring theme, flagged five times.
The city-wide average for Chicago sits at 81, putting Yusho on the better side of that line. There isn't much in the file that would give a customer pause.
