Medium Risk NYC Grade: A

Good Taste appears in inspection records four times, starting in 2023. The most recent visit was on Feb 20, 2026. The medium risk tier sits in the middle: not spotless, but not alarming either.

Performance has remained roughly level inspection to inspection, near four violations each time.

Across the inspection history, anti-siphonage or back-flow prevention device not provided is the issue that surfaces most often, recorded three times.

That falls roughly in the middle of the pack for Queens restaurants. The inspection history reads as standard for a restaurant of this size.
