Open the county's Inspection Results, choose Restaurants, Food Markets, and search for the name or address. Reports for inspections after August 25, 2025 come by public records request.
Most people don't know what a normal result looks like for a place that's open every day. The ranges use each place's last routine inspection in this area. No other county is mixed in.
100 means the inspector found no problems. Los Angeles County takes points off for each problem. Big ones take off more.
Each inspection starts at 100 points and points come off for each problem found. 90 to 100 is an A, 80 to 89 a B, 70 to 79 a C. Below 70 gets a score card with the number and no letter.
