Score
Medium Risk

The health department has logged nine inspections at Sushi Runner, the earliest from 2022. Inspectors last stopped by on Feb 17, 2026. Diners should read medium risk as a signal that some issues exist but aren't extreme.

There hasn't been much movement either way: counts have stayed near four violations per visit across recent inspections.

“In-use tongs stored on equipment door handle between uses” accounts for the largest share of issues, appearing two times across the record.
