The restaurant was the focus of an I-9 audit by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement. It requires companies to prove their employees are eligible to work in the United States.

When the audit was announced, a group of employees chose not to show up for work, according to Alfonso Tomita, the company's CEO.

"We complied with what we needed to comply with, so I think we haven't done anything wrong," Tomita said.
