Two Thornhill restaurants were charged the following day.

Ginza Sushi Restaurant, at 7330 Yonge St., was cited for failing to store hazardous foods at the proper temperatures. Lichee Garden, at 1416 Centre St., was charged with not providing a sufficient chemical solution rinse in its maintenance of mechanical equipment.

These charges follow others levied against two other Vaughan restaurants the week before.
