Medium Risk NYC Grade: A

Inspectors have visited Lucky Star five times, with records going back to 2023. The newest entry in the record is dated Nov 15, 2025. Diners should read medium risk as a signal that some issues exist but aren't extreme.

Things are looking better: the most recent inspection turned up two violations, compared to four violations previously.

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

That falls roughly in the middle of the pack for Queens restaurants. The record is unremarkable in either direction.
