Not for your parents. The main seating area of the restaurant looks like a children's romper room . . . set up in an underground garage. It is loud around dinner time, as other reviewers have noted.

This is a decent place, serving the usual Americanized version of Asian food. I hang out here mainly for the happy hour. There's always ample seating for large groups. They have drink and sushi specials during happy hour but some of the martini specials are either hit or miss. Avoid the dirty martini at all cost. They have no clue... more
