Oct 5, 2026 โ€” Complaint inspection

Fail

Triggered by a public complaint about this restaurant.

Inspectors found approximately 80 mouse droppings scattered throughout the store, including a dead mouse under shelves.

Standout Inspection

We flagged this inspection for serious public health concerns.

Key Findings

  • Roughly 80 mouse droppings discovered on shelves and floors across multiple aisles, in restrooms, and near storage areas; a dead mouse was found under popcorn boxes.
  • Front entrance doors have openings that allow rodent entry and require rodent-proofing.
  • Outdoor garbage receptacles cannot close properly and one is missing its lid, creating pest access.
  • No vomiting and diarrhea cleanup procedure or equipment kit was available on premises.

Key findings are derived directly from the inspector's notes from the Chicago Department of Public Health. See the full violation notes below.
