Oct 2, 2026 — Complaint inspection

Fail

Triggered by a public complaint about this restaurant.

Frozen meat stored on floor and dish machine not sanitizing food-contact surfaces.

Key Findings

  • Frozen pork boxes and raw beef found on walk-in cooler floor instead of elevated shelving, a repeat violation from a previous inspection.
  • Low-temperature dish machine had zero chlorine sanitizer in it at time of inspection, leaving food-contact dishes unsanitized.
  • All four reach-in cooler doors had torn gaskets that weren't repaired from previous inspection.
  • Multiple storage violations: food thawed improperly at room temperature, items stored in grocery bags instead of food-grade containers, and serving plates stored uncovered.

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