Score
Across the available record, Sushi & Pho has 13 inspections on file, the first dated 2022. On Dec 2, 2025, the health department conducted the most recent visit. A high risk tier suggests the facility had a rough recent inspection, with multiple violations on record.
The trend has been favorable: violation counts have eased from around six violations to closer to four violations per visit over the last few inspections.
The most common issue across all inspections has been “ice buildup in reach-in freezer and/or walk-in freezer”, showing up eight times.
That's lower than the typical Bradenton restaurant, which scores around 83. Diners may want to scan the inspection details before deciding to visit.
