Chris Lucas is the force behind plenty of vibey Melbourne restaurants worth raving about (Kisume, Yakimono, Society, Grill Americano, Hawker Hall and Baby), but Chin Chin is forever a Melbourne favourite.

The spot somehow manages to still have lines snaking around the corner regularly, flummoxing other local eateries that wish they could have the same. Lucas has also seen the power of smartly replicating Chin Chin in Sydney, taking one successful business and turn it into two without too much fuss.

And now he is making it three. Come late April this year, a new Chin Chin will land in Geelong's GMHBA Stadium. On game day, this means footy fans can get brilliant South East Asian food right at the oval, either nabbing a speedy set menu or going a la carte.

But it's not just for sports fans. The new Chin Chin in Geelong will be open throughout the year, no matter whether there's a game on or not.

It might seem strange to dine at an empty sports stadium, but Lucas has a knack for creating a lively atmosphere at each of his restaurants. Those skills might just be tested here, but the veteran hospitality great rarely lets folks down in that department.
