Low Risk NYC Grade: A

With just two inspections in the record, there isn't enough history to establish a clear pattern. Inspectors last stopped by on Mar 31, 2025. Diners can read the low risk label as a sign that recent inspections have gone well.

Compared to the prior visit, the count dropped from four violations to two.

When inspectors have written things up, non-food contact surface or equipment made of unacceptable material has been the most frequent reason, cited two times.

Among Queens restaurants, the typical score is 75; Kyu Ramen is comfortably above that bar. There isn't much in the file that would give a customer pause.
