There’s always a lot happening in the Columbus restaurant world! Here’s the latest:
Next week Tuesday, April 23, Hank’s Low Country Seafood & Raw Bar opens at 6 W. Gay St. downtown. This is the second location of the Charleston-based seafood restaurant. It’s operated by Makeready, which runs The Junto and the forthcoming Chouette French bistro coming across High Street from Hank’s.
Campus gained a couple new casual eateries lately! The fast casual Indian spot Rollz Rice, which started in Lewis Center, opened a location at 16 E. Sixteenth Ave. last week. They let you customize bowls, wraps, and naan breads.
And just this week a noodle spot called I Love Noods opened at 9 E. Lane Ave. The small chain features ramen, pho, dumplings, dim sum, boba tea, and other dishes. Their official grand opening is Friday, April 26 – all bowls will be $1 that day.
The Crispy Coop opened a second location yesterday at 6330 Tussing Rd. Reynoldsburg. Their first location is in Grandview/5xNW. (And apparently they had a Pickerington location for a couple years that recently closed.)
The Granville Inn unveiled a new look this past week, with big renovations to some of its dining rooms and patios, as well as an upgraded menu.
You have this Sunday and next (April 21 and 28) to catch the collaboration between Hot Chicken Takeover and Dough Mama.

Dough Mama is also serving a chicken salad biscuit sandwich with HCT ranch and pickles.
Get your tickets now for Koso’s Ramen After Dark pop-up at the East Market on Friday, April 26 from 7-9 p.m. They’ll be serving specialty bowls of Korean ramen that night!
