Score
High Risk

Across the available record, Token Ramen/ Kung Fu Tea has 12 inspections on file, the first dated 2023. Inspectors last stopped by on Apr 16, 2026. Diners may want to take note: high risk reflects issues that a health inspector considered important.

Recent visits have flagged more than earlier ones: around six violations per visit lately, up from roughly four violations before.

When inspectors have written things up, “working containers of food removed” has been the most frequent reason, cited four times.

Compared to other Largo restaurants (averaging 75), there's room to close the gap. There are enough flags in the record to merit a second thought.
