New Parsons Ave. restaurant bringing karaoke, anime murals when it opens next week

We’ve been waiting, and the Columbus Anime Chef has announced an official grand opening date for his new brick and mortar restaurant.

Chef Hiro—according to owner Jean Claude Ba—will open its exciting, energetic South Side eatery on June 19.

The restaurant is located at 1297 Parsons Ave., the former home of Village Taco.
