Miku Sushi vs Lincoln Square
Lincoln Square runs 59% clean across 922 tracked restaurants β 536 clean, 152 mid, 228 cooked.
Against the 922 spots Cooked tracks in Lincoln Square, this one comes out cleaner than 44% of them.
Chicago does not use letter grades. Every inspection ends in one of three official results: Pass, Pass with Conditions, or Fail. Pass with Conditions means violations were found but corrected on the spot or under a deadline β the restaurant is open, with homework. A Fail means serious violations went uncorrected, and it usually brings a re-inspection within days. Chicago also flags βpriorityβ violations, the ones most likely to actually make someone sick. Cooked reads Pass as clean, Pass with Conditions as mid, and Fail as cooked, and shows the itemized violations behind each result.
