Singed walls are left as a remnant of the fire that broke out at the old Gobi Mongolian Grill restaurant last month.
Vancouver Fire was dispatched to the property at 14387 S.E. Mill Plain Blvd. in the early morning hours of Aug. 20, according to a statement from the fire department.
The building hadn’t been in use as a restaurant for some time. It was purchased in 2019 by H&C Properties Management, according to county records. The property management business is associated with Ocean King Market farther east on Mill Plain.
To passersby, the restaurant appeared to be under renovation before the fire struck. Ocean King Market and H&C Properties Management had just signed a property access agreement with Mannahouse Church in July. Mannahouse owns the property adjacent to the restaurant, which includes much of the adjoining parking lot.
