Going back to 2024, Golden Crown Kitchen has four inspections in the public record. Inspectors last stopped by on Apr 9, 2026. A high risk tier suggests the facility had a rough recent inspection, with multiple violations on record.
Inspection results have stayed in a similar range over the last few visits, averaging around nine violations each.
When inspectors have written things up, “adequate handwashing facilities supplied & accessible” has been the most frequent reason, cited three times.
