Score
The health department has logged eight inspections at China 1, the earliest from 2022. The most recent visit was on Apr 23, 2026. A medium risk score generally means inspectors found things to fix, though most weren't urgent.
Recent visits have produced comparable findings, with counts hovering near six violations per visit.
“The rear exit not protected with a self-closing door device” accounts for the largest share of issues, appearing three times across the record.
Compared to other Venice restaurants (averaging 79), there's room to close the gap. The record is unremarkable in either direction.
