Low Risk NYC Grade: A

Across the available record, Happy Bowls has three inspections on file, the first dated 2022. The most recent visit was on Mar 27, 2025. Low risk indicates the latest report didn't flag anything that would worry the average customer.

There hasn't been much movement either way: counts have stayed near three violations per visit across recent inspections.

The pattern that stands out is “evidence of mice or live mice in establishment's food”, which has been cited two times.

Among Manhattan restaurants, this is a fairly standard result. The file should reassure diners considering a visit.
