Public records show four inspections at Hemo stretching back to 2024. The most recent visit was on Feb 6, 2026. When a facility lands in medium risk territory, it usually means a mixed inspection result.

When inspectors have written things up, evidence of mice or live mice in establishment's food has been the most frequent reason, cited three times.

Compared to other Brooklyn restaurants (averaging 77), there's room to close the gap. The record is unremarkable in either direction.
