Score

Medium Risk NYC Grade: Pending

There aren't many inspections to draw from yet: just two so far. On Mar 21, 2026, the health department conducted the most recent visit. A medium risk score generally means inspectors found things to fix, though most weren't urgent.

The trend has been favorable: violation counts have eased from around 11 violations to closer to five violations per visit over the last few inspections.

Across the inspection history, “food, supplies, or equipment not protected from potential source” is the issue that surfaces most often, recorded two times.

Compared to other Queens restaurants (averaging 75), there's room to close the gap. The record is unremarkable in either direction.
