Oct 16, 2026 — Complaint inspection

Fail

Triggered by a public complaint about this restaurant.

Massive cockroach infestation with over 200 live insects found throughout food preparation areas.

Standout Inspection

We flagged this inspection for serious public health concerns.

Key Findings

  • Over 200 live cockroaches observed throughout multiple food preparation areas, including main prep, grill, deep fryer, and storage areas. Pest control service required.
  • Dead roaches found under dry storage racks and in the 3-compartment sink area; previous inspection violations from April 2026 were not corrected.
  • Ice machine in rear prep area has black slime buildup dripping onto stored ice cubes used for human consumption.
  • Widespread cleanliness failures: grease buildup and food debris under cooking equipment, dust on walk-in cooler fans, utensils improperly stored under sinks, and milk crates used as shelving instead of proper equipment.

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