Score
Across the available record, Quan Ngon Bistro has 16 inspections on file, the first dated 2023. The most recent report on file is from Apr 13, 2026. A low risk tier reflects an inspection that turned up minimal issues.
Things are looking better lately, with recent visits averaging around three violations compared to roughly six violations earlier on.
When inspectors have written things up, “time/temperature control for safety food cold held” has been the most frequent reason, cited five times.
Among Pinellas Park restaurants, this is a fairly standard result. There isn't much in the file that would give a customer pause.
