47
Score
Spring Garden Chinese Restaurante appears in inspection records 14 times, starting in 2023. Inspectors last stopped by on Jan 8, 2026. The high risk label is a heads-up that the most recent visit didn't go well.
The picture has improved over the last few visits: recent inspections have averaged around 19 violations, down from roughly 28 violations earlier in the record.
The pattern that stands out is “no paper towels”, which has been cited eight times.
The city-wide average sits at 77, which Spring Garden Chinese Restaurante's 47 doesn't quite reach. There are enough flags in the record to merit a second thought.
