Korean-American restaurant Black Ginger has closed just five months after its May opening in Detroit’s Corktown neighborhood at the Trumbull and Porter Hotel.
“Due to a dispute with the property, Black Ginger is unfortunately closing our doors,” a statement on Black Ginger’s Instagram announced. “We apologize for any inconvenience this causes, and we thank you for all your support and enthusiasm for our food and staff these past five months.”
Though the exact cause of the dispute remains unclear, Black Ginger’s message hinted at a potential return down the line.
“We hope to bring you exciting updates in the future,” the post continues. “Please stay tuned.”
Owned by Korean-American metro Detroiter Harold Kim, Black Ginger was known for its new-age Korean cuisine inspired by a variety of Asian flavors, as well as its drink selection that featured global options, including Korean rice wine Soju.
If you didn’t have time to try Black Ginger in the short period since it opened, hopefully a new version of the restaurant will be back sooner rather than later.
