Restaurant-opening lists age quickly. This tracker separates places that are open from projects that remain announced or under development.

Open in 2026

Sunda New Asian

33 W Columbia St, Detroit. Opened March 10, 2026.

Sunda's official Detroit page announced a March 10 opening at 33 West Columbia Street. The company describes a 6,000-square-foot restaurant with more than 200 seats and a 1,400-square-foot patio. Its culinary leadership includes Mike Morales and Ise Matsunobu.

The posted menu covers sushi, dim sum, noodle and rice dishes, seafood, meat, and cocktails.

Current hours and reservations are available on the official Sunda Detroit site.

Announced, Not Yet Verified Open

Calamansi

4458 W Vernor Hwy, Detroit. Status: coming.

Calamansi has been announced as a Filipino-inspired restaurant and bar from Tyler Olivier and Marcee Sobredilla in the former PizzaPlex space. The restaurant's official site still says "Coming to Southwest Detroit." Axios Detroit's July 9 openings report also lists Calamansi among projects still in the works.

Calamansi remains listed as coming, with no opening date, until the business or reliable local reporting confirms that service has begun.

Other projects to watch

Axios Detroit's July 9 report identifies several additional restaurant projects in development:

  • Waka, a permanent restaurant related to the Waka food truck
  • Gardenside Brewing, a planned brewpub and restaurant
  • a downtown Joe Louis Southern Kitchen location
  • a Detroit location for Balkan House
  • a Hamlin Pub in the former Statler space
  • restaurant and bar concepts planned with the NoMad hotel at Michigan Central Station

These projects remain early leads. Dates, menus, and addresses belong in the tracker only after the business or a reliable local report confirms them.

How this tracker works

An opening moves into the verified section when the restaurant's own current channel or a reliable local publication confirms that service has begun. Target seasons and projected dates remain labeled as estimates, and menu details stay attributed to the business or a named report.
