Daily Detroit

The people behind the popular Noble Fish sushi restaurant and White Wolf Japanese patisserie,will be opening two new Asian food halls in Metro Detroit called "Noble Village."

The first, a 12,000-square-foot location, will be in Clawson at the site of the existing Noble Fish and White Wolf locations. This hall will incorporate the existing brands, expand seating and offerings, and include a ramen counter and a cocktail bar.

The Clawson food hall is expected to open in phases beginning in March and include an adjacent grocery section and a larger grab-and-go selection.

The second project, a massive 34,000-square-foot food hall in Novi, will be at the current location of One World Market, a Japanese grocery store owned by the same group.

This location will be significantly larger and include more food concepts including a cocktail bar, an Asian fried chicken concept, a sandwich concept, an Izakaya restaurant, an expansive second floor theater space, and an expanded marketplace including an Asian spirits section. It is projected to open within a couple of years.

Doran Brooks, director of business development for Noble Village Group, joined us on the show to talk about not only the two major upcoming expansions, but his story and things he's learned over the years as a restauranteur.
