Score
Medium Risk

Across the available record, Sushi Sake has 11 inspections on file, the first dated 2023. On Mar 3, 2026, the health department conducted the most recent visit. Medium risk typically reflects a handful of issues that inspectors wrote up but didn't deem critical.

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

“Employee wearing jewelry other than a plain ring” accounts for the largest share of issues, appearing two times across the record.

That's lower than the typical Miramar restaurant, which scores around 78. The inspection history reads as standard for a restaurant of this size.
