High Risk NYC Grade: Pending

Chicken Box has a thin inspection record, with only two visits on file so far. The latest inspection on file is from Dec 3, 2025. The high risk label is a heads-up that the most recent visit didn't go well.

The picture has gotten worse over the last few visits, with the average climbing from around three violations to closer to 10 violations.

The most common issue across all inspections has been “wiping cloths not stored clean and dry”, showing up two times.

Compared to other Queens restaurants (averaging 75), there's room to close the gap. There are enough flags in the record to merit a second thought.
