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 Oct 7, 2024. Low risk indicates the latest report didn't flag anything that would worry the average customer.

Inspection results have stayed in a similar range over the last few visits.

The most common issue across all inspections has been non-food contact surface or equipment made of unacceptable material, showing up two times.

That falls roughly in the middle of the pack for Queens restaurants. There isn't much in the file that would give a customer pause.
