Score
Medium Risk NYC Grade: A

With just two inspections in the record, there isn't enough history to establish a clear pattern. The newest entry in the record is dated Jul 1, 2025. Diners should read medium risk as a signal that some issues exist but aren't extreme.

The trend has been favorable: violation counts have eased from around nine violations to closer to four violations per visit over the last few inspections.

When inspectors have written things up, “live roaches in facility's food or non-food area” has been the most frequent reason, cited two times.

Johnny's Cafe's latest score of 74 falls below the Bronx average of 77. Taken together, the history looks like that of a busy facility working through the usual inspection cycle.
