Low Risk NYC Grade: A

Yopparai appears in inspection records four times, starting in 2023. The most recent report on file is from Aug 19, 2025. When a facility lands in the low risk tier, it usually means nothing alarming showed up at the most recent visit.

The trend has been favorable: violation counts have eased from around five violations to closer to two violations per visit over the last few inspections.

“Evidence of mice or live mice in establishment's food” accounts for the largest share of issues, appearing three times across the record.

That puts the facility ahead of the local pack: the average Manhattan restaurant scores 77. There isn't much in the file that would give a customer pause.
