Across the available record, King's has four inspections on file, the first dated 2024. Inspectors last stopped by on Nov 11, 2025. Low risk indicates the latest report didn't flag anything that would worry the average customer.

The pattern that stands out is hand-washing signage, which has been cited two times.
