High Risk

Big Boss Chinese has been inspected three times since 2025. On Nov 14, 2025, the health department conducted the most recent visit. The high risk label is a heads-up that the most recent visit didn't go well.

The trend has not been favorable: recent inspections average around eight violations each, up from closer to three violations before.

The pattern that stands out is “food-contact surfaces”, which has been cited two times.

Big Boss Chinese's latest score of 52 falls below the Atlanta average of 90. There are enough flags in the record to merit a second thought.
