Inspections
From New York City Department of Health and Mental Hygiene · 6 inspections on record · Last checked Oct 7, 2026
The health department visited 4 times in the last 12 months (1 routine, 3 other).
Fewer point violations than last time (73 → 40). That takes a team.
NYC inspects each restaurant at least once a year. A place scoring 14 or more on an initial inspection gets a second, graded inspection.
