High Risk NYC Grade: Pending

Little Saigon Cuisine has only two inspections on file, a thin record to work from. Inspectors last stopped by on Mar 11, 2026. A high risk tier suggests the facility had a rough recent inspection, with multiple violations on record.

Things have moved in the wrong direction: violation counts went from six to seven.

Hot TCS food item not held at or above 140 °F accounts for the largest share of issues, appearing two times across the record.

Compared to other Queens restaurants (averaging 75), there's room to close the gap. There are enough flags in the record to merit a second thought.
