High Risk NYC Grade: Pending

Yunnan Rice Noodle House has only two inspections on file, a thin record to work from. The latest inspection on file is from Nov 24, 2025. A high risk rating points to multiple serious findings at the most recent inspection.

The trend has not been favorable: recent inspections average around 10 violations each, up from closer to eight violations before.

“Establishment is not free of harborage or conditions” comes up most often, recorded two times in the inspection record.

Compared to other Queens restaurants (averaging 75), there's room to close the gap. There are enough flags in the record to merit a second thought.
