Score
The health department has logged nine inspections at China Park, the earliest from 2022. On Mar 4, 2026, the health department conducted the most recent visit. Diners may want to take note: high risk reflects issues that a health inspector considered important.
The trend has not been favorable: recent inspections average around 12 violations each, up from closer to seven violations before.
The most common issue across all inspections has been “nonfood-contact surface soiled with grease”, showing up seven times.
That's lower than the typical Cocoa restaurant, which scores around 82. There are enough flags in the record to merit a second thought.
