Score
Kocinao has only two inspections on file, a thin record to work from. The newest entry in the record is dated Apr 23, 2026. Diners may want to take note: high risk reflects issues that a health inspector considered important.
There hasn't been much movement either way: counts have stayed near 10 violations per visit across recent inspections.
The pattern that stands out is “food properly labeled”, which has been cited two times.
That's lower than the typical Philadelphia restaurant, which scores around 72. This restaurant has more on its record than most do.
