Score
Nidda Thai Cuisine appears in inspection records seven times, starting in 2024. The most recent report on file is from Mar 24, 2026. Medium risk typically reflects a handful of issues that inspectors wrote up but didn't deem critical.
There hasn't been much movement either way: counts have stayed near four violations per visit across recent inspections.
The pattern that stands out is “refrigerated storage”, which has been cited four times.
Restaurants in Houston average 88, so Nidda Thai Cuisine trails the local norm. Nothing in the record is alarming, but there's room to improve.
