The most recent inspection found mostly administrative issues (no verified food manager certificate, no written employee health policy, no sanitizer test strips) plus one corrected-on-site issue with sauce scoops stored improperly. None of these point to active contamination, pest problems, or improper food temperatures, and prior inspections in 2022-2023 had no violations at all.
