Medium Risk NYC Grade: Pending

There aren't many inspections to draw from yet: just two so far. The most recent visit was on Oct 22, 2025. A medium risk score generally means inspectors found things to fix, though most weren't urgent.

Recent visits have flagged additional issues, ticking from three violations up to five.

When inspectors have written things up, food, prohibited, from unapproved or unknown source, home canned has been the most frequent reason, cited one time.

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