33
Score
The health department has logged 16 inspections at Asian Express, the earliest from 2022. On Mar 20, 2026, the health department conducted the most recent visit. A high risk tier suggests the facility had a rough recent inspection, with multiple violations on record.
Things have been moving the wrong way, with the rolling count rising from around four violations to closer to seven violations per visit.
When inspectors have written things up, “roach excrement and/or droppings present” has been the most frequent reason, cited two times.
That's lower than the typical Oviedo restaurant, which scores around 63. Diners may want to weigh the inspection history when deciding to visit.
