Mr Chow
Modern Asian bistro and sushi bar where tradition meets Maho Village flair.
Why Go
Maho Village's Thames Road now has a contemporary Asian contender. Mr Chow brings scratch-made Japanese sushi and modern Asian fusion to the strip, presenting dishes with the precise artistry and bold flavors that set proper Asian fine dining apart from the casual stir-fry joints. At $$$ pricing, this is the premium Asian option in Maho — a sushi and cocktail experience designed for evenings when you want something sophisticated and different.
The Experience
Thames Road at number 14 positions Mr Chow between the tiki bars and jewelry shops of Maho Village, but the restaurant's interior and menu signal a deliberate step up from the strip's casual energy. The menu opens with miso soup and dim sum, moves through main courses and bowls built with fresh ingredients and contemporary technique, and features a sushi program that takes the craft seriously — precise cuts, quality fish, and rolls that balance tradition with creative reinvention. The cocktail and sake menu complements the food with the same level of thought. The 'immersive dining experience' that the kitchen aims for means presentation matters as much as flavor: expect dishes that photograph beautifully and taste even better. Mimosa Skylounge and Island Treasures Jewelers are immediate neighbors, creating a high-end pocket of Thames Road that suits Mr Chow's $$$ positioning perfectly.
What to Try
Start with the dim sum as a shared opener, then move to sushi rolls — both traditional and house signatures. The main course bowls show the fusion side of the kitchen. Sake pairings are recommended over beer for the full experience. Save room for the artistry — presentation is part of what you are paying for here.
Insider Tip
Mr Chow occupies the same address (14 Thames Road) as Oasis Maho — they may share or alternate the space, so check current operating arrangements. The $$$ pricing positions this as Maho's upscale Asian option, so dress accordingly. If you are choosing between Mr Chow and the more casual Winnie Chinese next door, the difference is price point and ambition — both have their place.
