Low Risk NYC Grade: A

There aren't many inspections to draw from yet: just two so far. Say Hi was last inspected on Dec 6, 2025. Low risk indicates the latest report didn't flag anything that would worry the average customer.

When inspectors have written things up, “food protection certificate (FPC) not held by manager or supervisor” has been the most frequent reason, cited two times.
