Last inspected: Mar 4, 2026
67
Score
Bangkok Bistro appears in inspection records nine times, starting in 2023. The latest inspection on file is from Mar 4, 2026. A medium risk score generally means inspectors found things to fix, though most weren't urgent.
Recent inspections have found fewer violations than earlier ones, averaging around four violations lately and about seven violations before that.
The pattern that stands out is “stop sale issued on time/temperature control”, which has been cited two times.
That's lower than the typical Fort Lauderdale restaurant, which scores around 80. The record is unremarkable in either direction.
