Low Risk

There aren't many inspections to draw from yet: just two so far. On Aug 29, 2025, the health department conducted the most recent visit. Diners can read the low risk label as a sign that recent inspections have gone well.

The trend has been favorable: violation counts have eased from around seven violations to closer to two violations per visit over the last few inspections.

That falls roughly in the middle of the pack for Houston restaurants. There isn't much in the file that would give a customer pause.
