High Risk NYC Grade: Pending

The health department has logged five inspections at Oshi's Cafe, the earliest from 2022. On May 4, 2026, the health department conducted the most recent visit. The high risk label is a heads-up that the most recent visit didn't go well.

The trend has not been favorable: recent inspections average around eight violations each, up from closer to five violations before.

“Cold TCS food item held above 41 °F” comes up most often, recorded three times in the inspection record.

Compared to other Brooklyn restaurants (averaging 77), there's room to close the gap. There are enough flags in the record to merit a second thought.
