Medium Risk NYC Grade: Pending

There aren't many inspections to draw from yet: just two so far. On Jan 7, 2026, the health department conducted the most recent visit. Diners should read medium risk as a signal that some issues exist but aren't extreme.

Recent visits have flagged more than earlier ones: around six violations per visit lately, up from roughly three violations before.

Across the inspection history, “non-food contact surface or equipment made of unacceptable material” is the issue that surfaces most often, recorded two times.

Compared to other Manhattan restaurants (averaging 77), there's room to close the gap. Taken together, the history looks like that of a busy facility working through the usual inspection cycle.
