Score
Going back to 2022, King Bao Alafaya has 13 inspections in the public record. The most recent report on file is from Nov 17, 2025. Low risk indicates the latest report didn't flag anything that would worry the average customer.

The pattern that stands out is “exterior door has a gap at the threshold that opens”, which has been cited six times.
Among Orlando restaurants, the typical score is 79; King Bao Alafaya is comfortably above that bar. There isn't much in the file that would give a customer pause.
