Speak up!

Those itching to see and be seen might as well make Mr.Chow’s oversized bar area the spot to hit up on Friday and Saturday nights. Settle down on a plush couch and take in the live art installations on one of the restaurant’s walls and order up a sake-based masterpiece such as Mr. Chow’s Lemonade or the refreshing Watermelon Martini. Lounging never tasted sweeter than this.
