Poor BiteKarma score 58 out of 100
How the BiteKarma score works

Each routine inspection starts at 100 and loses 7 points for every critical violation and 2 for every other one, half again as much when the same problem was cited at one of the two inspections before. A failed inspection counts as 69 at most. The score averages the five newest routine inspections, with the most recent counting most, and stays below 70 for 90 days after a fail unless the restaurant passes again. 90 and up is excellent, 80s good, 70s fair, and below 70 poor.

At a glance

  • Passed 10 of 12 graded inspections since 2020.
  • Last inspected Nov 7, 2024: passed with 3 violations. That was a follow-up after failing on Nov 5, 2024. That was over a year ago, so things may have changed.
  • Keeps coming up: Proper hot and cold holding temperatures, cited 6 times, plus 19 other repeat issues.
  • #1 in San Francisco's Hall of Shame, among the lowest BiteKarma scores in the city.
