Low Risk NYC Grade: A

Tha Kitchen has been inspected three times since 2024. The newest entry in the record is dated Mar 12, 2026. Low risk indicates the latest report didn't flag anything that would worry the average customer.

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

The pattern that stands out is “non-food contact surface or equipment made of unacceptable material”, which has been cited two times.

Compared to the broader Brooklyn restaurant scene, where the average is 77, this is a stronger showing. The file should reassure diners considering a visit.
