Score
Public records show nine inspections at China Wok Zz stretching back to 2022. On Mar 13, 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 been favorable: violation counts have eased from around nine violations to closer to three violations per visit over the last few inspections.
Looking across the full record, “time/temperature control for safety food cold held” is the recurring theme, flagged three times.
By comparison, the average Daytona Beach facility scores 71, putting China Wok Zz on the weaker side. There are enough flags in the record to merit a second thought.
