The bottom line
Rodents, insects, or other pests flagged in 2 of the last 3 inspections, plus the May 2026 closure. Currently 90, a low A, from an owner-requested re-inspection. But a surprise visit scored 71 with a severe issue: live pests or an infestation. Worth a closer look, since the re-check was owner-requested, not a surprise.

An inspection is a snapshot of one day. A clean score isn't a guarantee, and a low one doesn't mean you'll get sick. We translate the official LA County Public Health record; we don't change it. We update from the county's records as new inspections and grade changes post, usually within about a week of a visit. This is the latest the county has on file for this place.
