With just two inspections in the record, there isn't enough history to establish a clear pattern. The newest entry in the record is dated Feb 10, 2025. A high risk rating points to multiple serious findings at the most recent inspection.
Things are looking better lately, with recent visits averaging around 10 violations compared to roughly 12 violations earlier on.
“Time as a public health control” accounts for the largest share of issues, appearing two times across the record.
That's lower than the typical Philadelphia restaurant, which scores around 72. Diners may want to scan the inspection details before deciding to visit.
