Surrey restaurant inspections: Fraser Health reports

You want to check how a Surrey restaurant did in its recent health inspections before you eat there, or compare inspection results across the city. Fraser Health's environmental health officers inspect food premises in Surrey, and the City of Surrey publishes two tables drawn from Fraser Health's inspection data: a list of restaurants with their addresses, and one row per inspection with its hazard rating and violations. CanQuery shows the restaurants on a map and both lists as tables.

Find the restaurant

1. Open the map of Surrey restaurants in CanQuery. Each point is a restaurant; the City of Surrey's GIS section added the coordinates to Fraser Health's records.
2. Zoom to a street, or switch to the table view and type the restaurant's name or street in the search box. The table lists NAME, PHYSICALADDRESS, PHYSICALCITY and FACTYPE.
3. Note the restaurant's TRACKINGNUMBER. It identifies the restaurant in the inspection reports.

Read its inspections

1. Open the Fraser Health inspection reports table. It holds one row per inspection and no restaurant names, so search it by tracking number.
2. Enter the tracking number with a leading =, such as =HCAR-CCUMZL, in the TRACKINGNUMBER column filter. The = selects an exact match.
3. Read each row:
   • INSPECTIONDATE is the date as a number in year, month, day order: 20220725 is July 25, 2022.
   • INSPTYPE is Routine or Follow-Up.
   • NUMCRITICAL and NUMNONCRITICAL count the critical and non-critical violations found.
   • HAZARDRATING is the inspection's rating: Low, Moderate or High.
   • VIOLLUMP lists the violations, separated by |. Each one gives a code, whether it is critical, a description that cites the section of the regulation, and whether it was a repeat.
4. Sort by INSPECTIONDATE to see the most recent inspection first.

To compare the city as a whole, filter HAZARDRATING with =High, or chart the ratings: of the 11,900 inspections, 10,126 were rated Low, 1,104 Moderate and 661 High.

Read the results carefully

Fraser Health explains that the hazard rating is normally the sum of all violations found at the inspection, and that an inspector may change it depending on how serious a condition is; a High rating means a significant increase in the risk of foodborne illness. Inspections check food handling, the temperature control of food, the maintenance and sanitation of the premises and employee hygiene, and they happen on a routine basis and when complaints are received.

An inspection result is valid only for the day of the inspection, and Fraser Health cautions against judging a restaurant on a single report, so read a restaurant's inspections together and in date order. A restaurant with no inspection rows may be new, closed or recorded under another tracking number.

The tables cover restaurants in Surrey only, while Fraser Health inspects food premises in some 20 municipalities from Burnaby to Boston Bar. The newest inspection in the City's copy is from April 27, 2026.

Check the official source

Fraser Health is the authority on any inspection. Its page on food facilities inspection reports links to the full reports, which add the inspector's observations and corrective actions. The City of Surrey's open data portal publishes the restaurant list and the inspection reports; check the terms shown on each dataset page before reusing the data.
