Who publishes this, and what they sell. This guide is published by Viking Net, which sells technology services to restaurants — websites, apps, point-of-sale systems and card processing — including to businesses rated on this site. Every rating here is computed by a formula published in full from public records: health inspections, city 311 complaints, published awards, and the state sales-tax permit date. No business can pay to change its score, raise its rank, or have a low score removed, and none has ever been asked to. If that ever changes, this paragraph comes down first.
Latest health inspection
93/100 on Jun 30, 2026 (52 days ago)
Inspections start at 100 and lose points for each violation found. 69 or below is a failing inspection. A score describes one visit on one day — Metro Health says so itself — not the condition of the business today.

Food Code 3-304.12(A) — In-Use Utensils, Between-Use Storage · inspection item 39
A hand sink was blocked, or used for something other than washing hands

Food Code 3-307.11 — Miscellaneous Sources of Contamination
Handwashing was done incorrectly
The code specifies twenty seconds with soap and vigorous scrubbing. A rinse under the tap does not do the job.
“Cleaning procedure--time frame (20 seconds). (a) Clean Condition. Food employees shall keep their hands and exposed portions of their arms clean. P [14] (b) Cleaning Procedure.”Inspector’s note · SA Metro Health
Food Code 2-301.12(A) — Cleaning Procedure
Staff ate, drank or used tobacco in a food area

Food Code 4-601.11(C) — Equipment, Food-Contact Surfaces, Nonfood-Contact Surfaces, and Utensils
Fixed equipment was not sealed to the wall or raised off the floor
The gap behind an unsealed fryer is unreachable and becomes a permanent food source for pests.

Food Code 4-402.11(A)(3) — Fixed Equipment, Spacing or Sealing
Something was attached to a wall or ceiling in a way that traps dirt
Every unnecessary attachment is another surface to clean and another gap for pests.
“Attachments to walls and ceilings shall be easily cleanable. REPLACE ALL CEILING TILES IN THE KITCHEN AREA. TILES MUST BE COATED/SMOOTH, EASILY CLEANABLE, NON-ABSORBENT 43”Inspector’s note · SA Metro Health
Food Code 6-201.17(A) — Walls and Ceilings, Attachments

Food Code 6-303.11(C) — Intensity

Broken tile, damaged wall, failing cooler seal. Damaged surfaces cannot be cleaned and they collect what everything else sheds.
“Repairing. The physical facilities shall be maintained in good repair. CAULK ALL HANDSINKS AND 3-COMPARTMENT SINK TO WALLS. ASSURE ALL JUNCTURES ARE SMOOTH, EASILY CLEANABLE AND NON-ABSORBENT 45”Inspector’s note · SA Metro Health

What these numbers do and do not mean
An inspection score describes one visit on one day. It is what one inspector recorded on one date at one address — Metro Health says so itself. It is not a standing condition, not a grade for the food, and not a prediction about your lunch. A kitchen that scored 88 in March may be spotless today, and one that scored 100 may not be.
A 311 complaint is a phone call, not a finding. The city records that a member of the public called. It is not a citation, not an investigation result, and not evidence that anything was wrong. The city files it against an address, so where two food businesses share one, neither the record nor we can tell them apart. We publish the count with its denominator and let you weigh it.
Awards are reported, not endorsed. Every recognition on this site carries its publisher, its year and a link to the page we read it on. We did not judge those contests and we do not vouch for them; where a publisher named a business rather than an address, the page says so.
Absence of data is never rendered as a finding. No inspection on record means no Bird Score — never a zero, never quietly ranked last. No award found means we searched 172 recognitions from 13 publishers and found none, which is a statement about press coverage and not about cooking.
If something here is wrong, we will fix it. Every figure links to the record it came from. Email us with the correction and we will check it against the source and correct it within 48 hours, whether or not you are a customer. How to request a correction.
