Jing is an incredible Chinese restaurant at the Landmark. Las Vegas-style ambience wows with a huge bar/lounge in black and white, wood, a fireplace spectacularly placed high on the wall, huge black chairs for comfort, black leather booths for privacy, and the beautiful focal point bar. The main dining room brings white accents with gorgeous wood panels, leather booths, beautiful tables and chairs, and marvelous china and accompaniments. The black ceiling is enhanced with spirals of filmy white fabric studded with shimmering crystals. This is not your ordinary Chinese eatery. The semi-open kitchen lets diners view the chefs as they prepare fabulous food. Owner Charlie Huong, of Little Ollie’s and Asie (Aspen) fame, brings his creative, marvelous cuisine to a new level. The sushi menu is amazing and worth the trip. Some highlights include the caterpillar roll, fried tuna rolls, and sashimi. Each is fabulous in presentation and taste. Appetizers include pan seared pork dumplings, crispy calamari, spring rolls, lettuce wraps, or the divine ahi Napoleon with mango pico de gallo and crispy wontons. The chicken dumplings are a must. Mango lemon chicken and miso seabass are beyond description arriving in picture perfect presentation with fabulous flavors in each bite. Ginger prawns are outrageous, and the peppercorn tenderloin a special treat. Thai basil chicken, pork tenderloin, salmon, Peking duck, lamb and whole fish make decisions almost impossible. Fried rice, pad Thai, and pan fried noodles are a few of the sides to accompany the entrées. Desserts keep pace with a molten chocolate cake, banana cream spring rolls, cheesecake, and divine gelato. The dishes stand out because of their light sauces, and the pure taste of the food sets it apart from any other Chinese restaurant. The wine list is excellent, the service perfect. Jing is something very special and unique in the area and brings a new element to the dining scene
