Score
Medium Risk

With just two inspections in the record, there isn't enough history to establish a clear pattern. The most recent report on file is from Apr 6, 2026. When a facility lands in medium risk territory, it usually means a mixed inspection result.

Performance has remained roughly level over recent inspections, averaging near four violations each time.

Looking across the full record, “non-food contact surfaces clean” is the recurring theme, flagged two times.

That falls roughly in the middle of the pack for Philadelphia restaurants. The record is unremarkable in either direction.
