Score
Public records show 11 inspections at Akina stretching back to 2022. On Dec 16, 2025, the health department conducted the most recent visit. Diners may want to take note: high risk reflects issues that a health inspector considered important.
The trend has not been favorable: recent inspections average around 11 violations each, up from closer to seven violations before.
Across the inspection history, “accumulation of debris on exterior of warewashing machine” is the issue that surfaces most often, recorded six times.
The city-wide average sits at 68, which Akina's 35 doesn't quite reach. There are enough flags in the record to merit a second thought.
