Hong Kong Restaurant of Palm Bay
Last inspected: Jan 9, 2026
82
Score
Hong Kong Restaurant of Palm Bay has been inspected 13 times since 2022. On Jan 9, 2026, the health department conducted the most recent visit. A low risk rating suggests inspectors haven't found much to be concerned about lately.
The picture has improved over the last few visits: recent inspections have averaged around 11 violations, down from roughly 13 violations earlier in the record.
When inspectors have written things up, “ice buildup in reach-in freezer and/or walk-in freezer” has been the most frequent reason, cited seven times.
That puts the facility ahead of the local pack: the average Palm Bay restaurant scores 76. The record reflects steady performance over time.
