Medium Risk

The health department has logged three inspections at Yokohama Sushi, the earliest from 2024. On Mar 30, 2026, the health department conducted the most recent visit. When a facility lands in medium risk territory, it usually means a mixed inspection result.

Recent visits have produced comparable findings, with counts hovering near three violations per visit.

When inspectors have written things up, “adequate handwashing facilities supplied & accessible” has been the most frequent reason, cited two times.

The city-wide average sits at 80, which Yokohama Sushi's 70 doesn't quite reach. Nothing in the record is alarming, but there's room to improve.
