By March 2017, you may conceivably be able to stand in line for Chin Chin’s fiery Thai food, then spin 180 degrees and be standing in a totally different queue, for sushi.

By March 2017, you may conceivably be able to stand in line for Chin Chin’s fiery Thai food, then spin 180 degrees and be standing in a totally different queue, for sushi.
Chris Lucas, director of The Lucas Group, has bought a new site on Flinders Lane (just 150 metres from Chin Chin) in which he’s started work on an unnamed Japanese diner.
“It’ll be traditional in many ways because of the purity of Japanese products and that philosophy, but it’ll have our DNA,” Lucas says. “Cool, sexy, fun, accessible.”
Lucas has had this one on the brain for a long time. Since spending three years in Japan in the ’90s, he’s explored pub food (The Botanical), Thai (Chin Chin), Italian (Baby), Korean (Kong) and Malaysian/Singaporean (Hawker Hall).
