Medium Risk NYC Grade: B

With just two inspections in the record, there isn't enough history to establish a clear pattern. The newest entry in the record is dated Sep 25, 2024. A medium risk rating points to a few notable findings at the last inspection, though nothing severe.

Violation counts have been trending down, averaging around three violations across recent inspections versus roughly 16 violations before.

“Food protection certificate (FPC) not held by manager or supervisor” accounts for the largest share of issues, appearing two times across the record.

That's lower than the typical Queens restaurant, which scores around 75. On the whole, the file is mixed but not concerning.
