Chinatown restaurants are currently passing Chicago health inspections at a higher rate than the city as a whole: 256 of 296 restaurants on file (86%) hold a current Pass, running 5% ahead of Chicago's citywide average. Among Chinatown restaurants with recent violations, sanitation & cleaning, facility maintenance, and food storage come up most often in inspector notes — the same categories the City of Chicago's Food Protection Program flags as Priority and Priority Foundation issues. GutCheck logged 11 new Chinatown inspections in the most recent 30-day window covered by the city's feed — every listing below reflects each restaurant's current, not historical, status.
How many restaurants in Chinatown have failed a Chicago health inspection?
1 of the 296 restaurants GutCheck currently tracks in Chinatown hold a Fail on their most recent Chicago Department of Public Health inspection. This changes as new inspections come in — GutCheck rebuilds from the city's live feed on every deploy, so this reflects current status, not a historical snapshot.
Is GutCheck's Chinatown restaurant health data official?
Yes. Every record comes directly from the City of Chicago's public Food Inspections open-data feed (data.cityofchicago.org, dataset 4ijn-s7e5) — the same data the Chicago Department of Public Health publishes itself. GutCheck is an independent service and isn't affiliated with the City of Chicago.
