Rock Hill’s newest Asian restaurant serving ‘dream come true’ for owners | Rock Hill Herald

Rock Hill residents have a new Asian restaurant opening on Cherry Road and McConnells Highway.

Hiro Asian Cuisine and Sushi Bar held a soft opening Oct. 6, and will schedule a grand opening soon, said co-owner Angela Durant.

Durant and her restaurant partner, Jack Yuliarta, will schedule the grand opening after they are able to serve a full menu, including alcohol. But the restaurant is open for business.

Durant said she and her family moved to Rock Hill from Sumter, where Yuliarta has another restaurant.

“I knew Rock Hill would be a great place to move,” she said.

Durant said the Rock Hill location at 1019 McConnells Highway was the first spot she looked at. She said they looked at other places, but “kept coming back to Rock Hill.”

She said opening a restaurant was an unexpected decision.

“It started out as a joke honestly, it did,” Durant said.

She said she was studying to become a psychologist before she decided to get involved in opening a restaurant.

“Sometimes life throws you a curve ball, and you can always make your dreams come true,” she said. “And this is my dream.”

She said she’s excited for Rock Hill residents to try Hiro’s food, especially the Thai food.

“We really want to make our Rock Hill people excited and happy, and hope they come out and see us,” Durant said.
