Score
Going back to 2022, China One has 10 inspections in the public record. The latest inspection on file is from Jan 15, 2026. Diners should read medium risk as a signal that some issues exist but aren't extreme.
Recent visits have flagged more than earlier ones: around eight violations per visit lately, up from roughly six violations before.
“Ice buildup in walk-in freezer” comes up most often, recorded three times in the inspection record.
That's lower than the typical Sebring restaurant, which scores around 74. Nothing in the record is alarming, but there's room to improve.
