Last inspected: Mar 9, 2026
47
Score
The health department has logged nine inspections at China Tokyo, the earliest from 2022. The latest inspection on file is from Mar 9, 2026. High risk usually means inspectors flagged either critical violations or a stack of smaller ones.
The trend has been favorable: violation counts have eased from around nine violations to closer to six violations per visit over the last few inspections.
When inspectors have written things up, “time/temperature control for safety food cold held” has been the most frequent reason, cited three times.
That's lower than the typical Hialeah restaurant, which scores around 76. This restaurant has more on its record than most do.
