Debenhams and Asian cuisine aren't words that are usually synonymous with each other, but when it comes to the department store's Oxford Circus branch they are. Located on the ground floor, Chi Kitchen offers diners a culinary exploration of South East Asia in surroundings inspired by the elements (marble, timber and leather abound).
The kitchen is headed by the winner of 2014's 'MasterChef', Ping Coombes, who has put together a menu of Thai, Chinese, Malaysian, Japanese, Vietnamese and Korean food. Indigenous dishes include char kway teow (fried flat Malaysian noodles), prawn dim sum and robata barbecue, with the addition of Alaskan crab or Chilean sea bass.
