There aren't many inspections to draw from yet: just two so far. On Sep 28, 2023, the health department conducted the most recent visit. High risk usually means inspectors flagged either critical violations or a stack of smaller ones. Drunken Dragon's record stops at Sep 28, 2023, more than two years back, so current conditions may differ.

The pattern that stands out is “water treatment device has not been inspected”, which has been cited two times.

Restaurants in Miami Beach average 69, so Drunken Dragon trails the local norm. There are enough flags in the record to merit a second thought.
