Score
Going back to 2022, Wing Wah Express has 12 inspections in the public record. Inspectors last stopped by on Feb 2, 2026. 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 four violations per visit over the last few inspections.
The most common issue across all inspections has been “nonfood-contact surface soiled with grease”, showing up four times.
Compared to other Boynton Beach restaurants (averaging 79), there's room to close the gap. On the whole, the file is mixed but not concerning.
