Score
Going back to 2022, China Wok has nine inspections in the public record. The most recent report on file is from Dec 15, 2025. Diners should read medium risk as a signal that some issues exist but aren't extreme.
There hasn't been much movement either way: counts have stayed near five violations per visit across recent inspections.
The pattern that stands out is “food-contact surface soiled with food debris”, which has been cited five times.
Restaurants in Lake City average 80, so China Wok trails the local norm. On the whole, the file is mixed but not concerning.
