High Risk NYC Grade: Pending

With just one inspection in the record, there isn't enough history to establish a clear pattern. The newest entry in the record is dated Jan 28, 2026. High risk usually means inspectors flagged either critical violations or a stack of smaller ones.

Food, supplies, or equipment not protected from potential source comes up most often, recorded one time in the inspection record.

That's lower than the typical Queens restaurant, which scores around 75. There are enough flags in the record to merit a second thought.
