Score
Asain Grill appears in inspection records 10 times, starting in 2022. On Jan 28, 2026, the health department conducted the most recent visit. Diners should read medium risk as a signal that some issues exist but aren't extreme.
The picture has gotten worse over the last few visits, with the average climbing from around three violations to closer to six violations.
“Shell eggs not stored at an ambient air temperature” accounts for the largest share of issues, appearing two times across the record.
That's lower than the typical Margate restaurant, which scores around 80. On the whole, the file is mixed but not concerning.
