Rooftop News

Asian fusion restaurant-bar opens on downtown Dallas' coolest rooftop

An Asian fusion restaurant has popped up in a unique downtown Dallas nook.

Called Sky Blossom, it's a small rooftop bar and restaurant parked on top of the Mid-Elm Lofts building at 1514 Elm St., where it's serving lunch, dinner, and cocktails, with one-of-a-kind views — the main view being The Eye, the Tony Tasset sculpture which is next door.

To get to Sky Blossom, you take a dedicated elevator directly to its sixth-floor perch. Sounds easy enough, but Dallas diners sometimes have trouble seeing something if it's not right under their nose.

But co-owner Salina Le, who has owned other restaurants in Dallas, hopes that the quality of her food will speak for itself.

"I know my food is tasty and good, and I think it's enough to draw customers," she says.

The restaurant, which has been softly open since mid-October, is designed both as an amenity for the residents of the building, as well a dining option for downtown locals, workers, and visitors.

The menu consists of Asian fusion food, as well as some American-influenced appetizers. There are Vietnamese, Thai, Korean, and Chinese dishes including shaken beef, orange chicken, Korean BBQ beef short ribs, pad Thai, and a teriyaki bowl.

At lunch they have egg rolls, dumplings, wings, and "tofu" French fries. There are spicy tuna tacos and "blossom" tacos – sushi style tacos served in a seaweed shell with avocado and rice. A "bulgogi burger" has thinly sliced marinated rib eye with lettuce, onion, and tomato.

There's also pho; salads including kale and Caesar; noodles; and banh mi.

At dinner, they have 14 appetizers and tapas including tofu sliders, shaken beef bao, calamari, and garlic crab claws.

Entrees include chargrilled pork chop, a chicken clay pot, beef penne pasta, and prawn garlic noodles.

Beverages have a slight Asian flair including Kirin Ichiban beer and cocktails such as the lychee martini.

The restaurant's outdoor space has one wall covered in ivy. There's an indoor dining room as well.

Mid-Elm Lofts is the creative renovation of a trio of vintage buildings downtown. The project has 29 residential units, with all but one now rented. It has three retail spaces on the ground floor, one already occupied by City Tavern, which moved there in February.

Le says that the location was so unique, she had to be a part of it.

"I wasn't thinking about opening another restaurant, but once I saw this space, I fell in love with it," she says. "A rooftop on top of a historical building, you just don't see a location like this."

Juicy news

Juice cafe with cult following chooses West Village for Dallas debut

A sleek Scandinavian-style breakfast café with a cult following will soon occupy an Uptown suite: Joe & the Juice, a growing chain from Denmark, will open next spring at 3600 McKinney Ave. Ste. 501, across the street from Uptown Pub.

The news was first reported by The Dallas Business Journal, and Joe & the Juice has confirmed it in recent replies to social media posts.

More than a juice bar, Joe & The Juice serves sandwiches, coffee, and an array of pastries and healthy snacks and is known for its high-energy atmosphere. The website describes Joe's menu as a "combination of fresh food and drinks designed for customers looking for convenient meals without compromising on flavor."

Joe & The Juice started in 2002 as a sweet bohemian juicery in Copenhagen's artsy Rue Verté neighborhood. Founder Kaspar Basse partnered with Swedish equity firm Valedo in 2013 to create an ambitious expansion plan, and today there are more than 450 locations worldwide, including stores in New York, Chicago, Miami, and Los Angeles.

The first Texas store is expected to open in Houston's Uptown Park area.

Joe & The Juice had a viral moment a few years back with its celebrated Tunacado sandwich, a flavorful combination of tuna mousse, avocado, vegan pesto, and sliced tomatoes. Unlike some other prominent coffee chains, its food is well executed enough that people review it (for better or worse) on social media.

Joe & The Juice's website shows the company is already hiring for its Houston location. But details on the Dallas store remain scarce. A Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation (TDLR) filing shows the cafe will move into an existing space formerly occupied by Francesca's and plans to begin a $550,000 renovation project February 8, 2027.

The remodel includes new interior walls, ceilings, restroom facilities, and finishes, along with food-service equipment and associated plumbing, mechanical, and electrical work. San Diego's PGAL is listed as the design firm handling the project. The filing includes a targeted completion of construction date of May 18, 2027, but timelines can change.

CultureMap has reached out to Joe & the Juice directly and will update this story as more details become available.
