Immigration officers found employees without the right to work in the UK at the venue.
A Chinese restaurant in York has been stripped of its licence after immigration raids found people working there illegally.
A City of York Council licensing and gambling hearing agreed that Sky Blue Chinese restaurant and karaoke bar should lose all parts of its licence, including its ability to serve alcohol and stage music and entertainment.
Councillors heard the venue was visited by immigration officers in July and December 2025, who found two employees who did not have the right to work in the UK.
The decision can be appealed by the restaurant's owners.
