Score
China Wok has been inspected nine times since 2022. The most recent visit was on Apr 1, 2026. Diners can read the low risk label as a sign that recent inspections have gone well.
The trend has been favorable: violation counts have eased from around nine violations to closer to four violations per visit over the last few inspections.
When inspectors have written things up, “stored food not covered” has been the most frequent reason, cited five times.
Compared to the broader Largo restaurant scene, where the average is 75, this is a stronger showing. There isn't much in the file that would give a customer pause.
