Last inspected: Apr 6, 2026
55
Score
The health department has logged 10 inspections at Boba Queen, the earliest from 2023. Inspectors last stopped by on Apr 6, 2026. Diners should read medium risk as a signal that some issues exist but aren't extreme.
The trend has not been favorable: recent inspections average around 11 violations each, up from closer to nine violations before.
Looking across the full record, “bowl or other container with no handle used to dispense food” is the recurring theme, flagged four times.
That's lower than the typical Kissimmee restaurant, which scores around 78. On the whole, the file is mixed but not concerning.
