Jul 15, 2026 — Complaint re-inspection

Pass

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

Heavy grease buildup on cooking equipment and missing exhaust filters posed fire and air quality risks.

Key Findings

  • Grease accumulated heavily on cooking equipment sides, behind units, and inside fryer cabinets.
  • Kitchen prep and dish washing area floors were heavily soiled with grease and food debris.
  • Exhaust system filters above the fryer and wok area were removed and not secured.
  • Excessive grease and dust buildup caked the exhaust hood filters above cooking equipment.

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