Medium Risk NYC Grade: A

With just two inspections in the record, there isn't enough history to establish a clear pattern. Inspectors last stopped by on May 2, 2025. Medium risk typically reflects a handful of issues that inspectors wrote up but didn't deem critical.

The most recent inspection cleaned up several issues, finishing with three violations after nine on the prior visit.

Live animal other than fish in tank or service animal present accounts for the largest share of issues, appearing two times across the record.

Compared to other Queens restaurants (averaging 75), there's room to close the gap. The full record sits in fairly typical territory for a working restaurant.
