Score
The health department has logged 16 inspections at China Lee, the earliest from 2023. The newest entry in the record is dated Mar 18, 2026. A high risk rating points to multiple serious findings at the most recent inspection.
The trend has not been favorable: recent inspections average around 38 violations each, up from closer to 13 violations before.
The pattern that stands out is “bowl or other container with no handle used to dispense food”, which has been cited four times.
By comparison, the average Orlando facility scores 79, putting China Lee on the weaker side. There are enough flags in the record to merit a second thought.
