Score
Omakai Sushi appears in inspection records seven times, starting in 2023. The latest inspection on file is from Dec 22, 2025. High risk usually means inspectors flagged either critical violations or a stack of smaller ones.
There hasn't been much movement either way: counts have stayed near four violations per visit across recent inspections.
When inspectors have written things up, “time/temperature control for safety food cold held” has been the most frequent reason, cited two times.
The city-wide average sits at 74, which Omakai Sushi's 47 doesn't quite reach. The pattern in the record is worth a careful look.
