Score
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 Jul 18, 2024. A medium risk score generally means inspectors found things to fix, though most weren't urgent.
The picture has improved over the last few visits: recent inspections have averaged around nine violations, down from roughly 13 violations earlier in the record.
Looking across the full record, “adequate handwashing facilities supplied & accessible” is the recurring theme, flagged two times.
That's lower than the typical Philadelphia restaurant, which scores around 72. The full record sits in fairly typical territory for a working restaurant.
