Rice Bowl opens second location, third in the works

Get your chopsticks ready. Rice Bowl Asian Kitchen has opened a second location in the Grandmont-Rosedale area. Its first location is in the New Center One Building and it will open a third in the Millender Center in January of 2008.

Owner Paul Kado is pleased to add a location in the city's northwest side, at W. Outer Drive and the Southfield Freeway. "It is an established area in a more affluent part of the city," he says. An added plus is its proximity to Henry Ford Health Systems medical center and Sinai-Grace Hospital. The restaurant seats 45 and is located in the College Park Commons shopping center.

Although Kado had hoped for his downtown location to be open by now, the overhaul of the Millender's HVAC system has delayed the date. "The Central Business District needs a quality Asian fast-casual restaurant. There is a demand for it," he says.
