Flowers of Vietnam Is Finally Back in Business in Southwest Detroit

After months of patient anticipation, Flowers of Vietnam is finally reopening its doors to the public tonight in Southwest Detroit. The restaurant helmed by chef George Azar is returning in a fully renovated and expanded space on West Vernor.

The official launch was announced this evening on the restaurant’s social media pages, following a week’s worth of soft openings.

The revamped space designed by Et al. Collaborative features a similar layout to the original pop-up inside Vernor Coney Island with the kitchen and prep area running along the east wall. The space is now partially separated from the main dining room by a set of windows. In the center, customers are seated at a mixture of black upholstered booths and two-top tables. What’s new to the original dining space is a large, square bar area situated in a previously unoccupied portion of the building.

Azar has left much of the menu from the original restaurant untouched. Customers can look forward to returning favorites like the Korean-fried caramel chicken wings, cơm tấm (broken rice), and Vietnamese egg cream coffee. From the bar, expect a range of craft beers and domestics as well as a handful of cocktails and an impressive wine list assembled by beverage director Anna Atanassova.

The doors open from 5 p.m. to midnight on Wednesday. Stay tuned for more updates.
