Medium Risk

With just two inspections in the record, there isn't enough history to establish a clear pattern. The latest inspection on file is from Sep 10, 2025. A medium risk rating points to a few notable findings at the last inspection, though nothing severe.

Things have been moving the wrong way, with the rolling count rising from around four violations to closer to seven violations per visit.

“Food & non-food contact surfaces cleanable” accounts for the largest share of issues, appearing two times across the record.

Compared to other Philadelphia restaurants (averaging 72), there's room to close the gap. The full record sits in fairly typical territory for a working restaurant.
