There aren't many inspections to draw from yet: just two so far. The most recent report on file is from Oct 3, 2025. When a facility lands in the low risk tier, it usually means nothing alarming showed up at the most recent visit.

The trend has not been favorable: recent inspections average around three violations each, up from closer to zero violations before.

That's lower than the typical Phoenix restaurant, which scores around 97. Nothing in the record is alarming, but there's room to improve.
