Medium Risk NYC Grade: A

With just one inspection in the record, there isn't enough history to establish a clear pattern. Hungry Ghost Coffee was last inspected on May 2, 2025. A medium risk score generally means inspectors found things to fix, though most weren't urgent.

When inspectors have written things up, food, supplies, or equipment not protected from potential source has been the most frequent reason, cited one time.

That's lower than the typical Brooklyn restaurant, which scores around 77. On the whole, the file is mixed but not concerning.
