58
Score
The health department has logged 10 inspections at Chroma, the earliest from 2022. Inspectors last stopped by on Mar 26, 2026. A medium risk score generally means inspectors found things to fix, though most weren't urgent.
There hasn't been much movement either way: counts have stayed near four violations per visit across recent inspections.
The most common issue across all inspections has been “food-contact surface soiled with food debris”, showing up three times.
That's lower than the typical Orlando restaurant, which scores around 79. Nothing in the record is alarming, but there's room to improve.
