Inspectors have visited Xhale four times, with records going back to 2022. The most recent visit was on Feb 20, 2025. A low risk rating suggests inspectors haven't found much to be concerned about lately.

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

When inspectors have written things up, “non-food contact surface or equipment made of unacceptable material” has been the most frequent reason, cited three times.

Compared to the broader Queens restaurant scene, where the average is 75, this is a stronger showing. Overall, the inspection record reads well.
