Medium Risk NYC Grade: A

Crystal has only two inspections on file, a thin record to work from. The most recent visit was on Dec 19, 2024. A medium risk rating points to a few notable findings at the last inspection, though nothing severe.

Recent inspections have turned up more issues than earlier ones, averaging around four violations lately compared to roughly two violations before.

“Non-food contact surface or equipment made of unacceptable material” accounts for the largest share of issues, appearing two times across the record.

That falls roughly in the middle of the pack for Manhattan restaurants. On the whole, the file is mixed but not concerning.
