According to a recent report in The Orlando Sentinel, the acclaimed Tung brothers will be debuting the new Mills Market in 2024. The establishment will replace the Tien Hung Market.
“The essence of what makes Tien Hung special — including the bánh mì and the Vietnamese coffee — will stay,” said Johnny Tung of The Bento Group.
The Sentinel describes it as Around it “an all-new micro restaurant and market concept the likes of which Orlando has never seen.”
“Zaru was Phase One of the project and our anchor restaurant in the market,” said Tung, explaining that phase two of the project will include “several 10- to 20-seat micro restaurant concepts, two of which he says will be open before the year is out.”
“The market itself will be Phase Three, an open-format space that will be a mixture of food and nonfood storefronts, including a Japanese gift shop and a flower shop.” Reportedly, the facilities will include a intimate Japanese whisky bar.
“They’ll be speakeasy-style,’ Tung said. “You’ll have to go through one door to get to the next.”
In total, Mills Market will include 10 concepts “with multiple operators working in an incubator-style space not unlike that of East End Market’s Domu Lab”, per Tung.
No opening date has yet been date.
