Score
High Risk

Fortune Cookie appears in inspection records eight times, starting in 2023. Fortune Cookie was last inspected on Mar 23, 2026. A high risk tier suggests the facility had a rough recent inspection, with multiple violations on record.

Inspection results have stayed in a similar range over the last few visits, averaging around 10 violations each.

When inspectors have written things up, “ready-to-eat” has been the most frequent reason, cited four times.

Compared to other LaBelle restaurants (averaging 88), there's room to close the gap. There are enough flags in the record to merit a second thought.
