Score
Medium Risk NYC Grade: B

Szechuan House has been inspected four times since 2022. The newest entry in the record is dated Mar 11, 2025. A medium risk score generally means inspectors found things to fix, though most weren't urgent.

There hasn't been much movement either way: counts have stayed near four violations per visit across recent inspections.

When inspectors have written things up, “cold TCS food item held above 41 °F” has been the most frequent reason, cited three times.

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