Restaurant

2400 S Pulaski Rd, Chicago, IL 60623

Far South Side

Mar 11, 2025 โ€” Complaint re-inspection

Pass

A follow-up to confirm complaint-related violations were fixed.

Employee personal items stored directly next to food seasonings and containers.

Key Findings

  • Bulk food containers in storage lacked proper labels identifying contents.
  • Shoes and clothing stored on same shelves as bulk seasonings and herbs, creating contamination risk.
  • Items stacked on floor near freezer and ice machine instead of being elevated on shelving.
  • Orange juicer equipment had buildup on exterior surfaces; walk-in cooler fans and surrounding surfaces needed cleaning.

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