Score
Inspectors have visited Piman 16 times, with records going back to 2022. Piman was last inspected on Jan 30, 2026. Diners can read the low risk label as a sign that recent inspections have gone well.
Recent inspections have turned up roughly the same number of issues each time, hovering near five violations per visit.
The pattern that stands out is “ceiling tile missing”, which has been cited three times.
Among Fort Lauderdale restaurants, this is a fairly standard result. There isn't much in the file that would give a customer pause.
