A number of the great staff at Gombei have been working there for many years. Hopefully they are in good health.

Love that restaurant - one of the few family-friendly, non-chain places left in the area. Best of luck to them in cleaning up the old mess and hope the cost doesn't drive them out of business.

Gombei has been operating there for over 15 years
What prompted the chemical testing at this point in time?

Sounds like the basis for another land grab!

A toxic clean up is, perhaps, the worst thing that can happen to a business. Although the toxic waste likely wasn't dumped by the current leaseholder, it is often a strict liability issue for the current renter. It is an incredibly expensive and regulatory complex process - usually well beyond the resources of even the most sophisticated and successful businesses.
I feel very sorry for Gombei.

I wondered what that funny green stuff was in my sushi that was so toxic.....
Sad to hear that the regulators are busy tampering. Very different from the Jason's Cafe predicament, which anyone could have seen coming.
