Wow!

Great news. Glad to hear that old Chew location isn't going unused. The buildout is basically done, so it was ripe for a restaurant to move in. I wonder how the Indochine people will do this one...another Southeast Asian place, just closer to the Courthouse? Or, a totally different direction?

I also wonder if it's in response to the courthouse moving and/or they're doing so well at their current location and/or they plan on closing the old one down when this one opens up????

Anyone know anything here?

Jax Business Journal says that it is going to be a noodle restaurant.  5 year lease.  Go for pho!

Per the JBJ article, Indochine's not closing.  They're opening the second concept due to the success of the first.  Happy news all around.

Great news.  I am glad Indochine is not closing the first restaurant.  I really like the space.

Noodle bar! Great concept, couldn't be happier! Location couldn't be better, too. Sandwiched between Laura and the new courthouse. Mmmmm

Wow. I am surprised. With no one Downtown and no demand for anything, I cant imagine why they would wager that loss. :-) On a side note I went to BG today with some friends who were passing through town and there was a good crowd there. Must have been ghosts I was seeing. My friends, one who lives in Savannah and the other who lives in Japan commented on how clean Downtown was and how great the food was at BG!

I welcome a new eating option downtown.  I would love to see a noodle bar similar to Wagamama, which is a great noodle bar in London.
