Two more Asian restaurants have joined the growing number of eateries choosing to reopen as carryout or delivery options while Ohio’s restaurants await details of how and when they can resume dine-in service.

The additions bring to 10 the total number of restaurants serving Asian-themed cuisine to reopen in the last week. Some Asian restaurants never closed during the coronavirus pandemic and shelter-at-home order, providing carryout and delivery options since the initial order to cease dining-room service on March 15, but the majority of local Asian dining spots did close temporarily in late March or early April.
