Score

Low Risk

Public records show five inspections at Shimuja stretching back to 2023. Inspectors last stopped by on Mar 4, 2025. When a facility lands in the low risk tier, it usually means nothing alarming showed up at the most recent visit.

The trend has been favorable: violation counts have eased from around six violations to closer to one violation per visit over the last few inspections.

The pattern that stands out is “probe thermometer not used”, which has been cited two times.

The city-wide average for Miami sits at 74, putting Shimuja on the better side of that line. There isn't much in the file that would give a customer pause.
