Overview
Nahji Chu isn't one to do things by halves. Earlier this month, she made a grand comeback on the Sydney food scene with the opening of Cha Li Boi, a 285-seater yum cha eatery in Bondi Junction.
But there won't be any time for post-launch relaxing yet. By spring, she'll be overseeing another new restaurant by the name of Cocochine Bar and Dining Room, in not one, but two, locations: 5 Ward Avenue in Potts Point, and 47 York Street in Sydney's CBD.
Details are scarce, however, we can tell you that Nahji will be making a return to Vietnamese fare with a more high-end, fine dining spin. Plus, at Ward Avenue, there'll be a takeaway section, dubbed Cocochu.
According to Cocochine's Facebook page, there's been some serious demolition going on. Architect Anthony Gill is taking care of design in Potts Point, while Kylie Fitt is on the job in the CBD. If the team's Facebook posts are anything to go by, both spaces will be pretty colossal.
