JING
JING is a staple, upscale restaurant in the Denver Tech Center serving up contemporary Asian eats with a fusion bent that continues to be a favorite to locals & travelers alike. Myself & the girls were invited in for dinner and we had the best time.
We arrived at JING and we were seated in the main dining room. The aesthetic of JING was sexy and mysterious - the lights were dimmed and white banquettes dominated the exterior of the space with floral detailing & unique artwork.
Our server Tahir was a gem - he knew the JING menu inside and out & steered our orders in all the right directions. His energy was amazing and he made us so excited to try out his favorite drinks & eats. When you are dining at JING, ask for Tahir! JING Manager Kayla ensured our dinner ran smoothly and was active on the restaurant floor our entire meal - it was evident she deeply cares that JING customers have the best experience possible. She’s committed to her staff and the restaurant’s success.
For Signature Cocktails we started with the Lavender Mist. The Lavender Mist was made with House Vodka, Lavender Vanilla, Crème de Violet, and Citrus.
This cocktail was a beautiful, light purple color (it matched the color palate of the restaurant) with mist from the dry ice swirling out the coup glass. The lavender and Crème de Violet had a taste profile and aroma that was distinctly floral and semi-sweet.
For Shared Plates we had Lobster Dim Sum. The Lobster Dim Sum was made with lobster, shrimp paste, & ginger beurre blanc.
The lobster dim sum was delicious and one of my favorite dishes of the night - the dim sum bites were tender and chewy with rich flavor coming from the beurre blanc sauce. The silky & buttery beurre blanc sauce found balance in the mild & sweet lobster dim sum.
For Sushi & Rolls we had the Hamachi Crunch Roll & the Snow Crab Dynamite Roll.
The Hamachi Crunch Roll was made with spicy tuna & crispy tempura flakes.
This roll had amazing texture variation from the snap of the jalapeño, crunch of the tempura flakes, chew of the rice and smoothness of the Hamachi.
The Snow Crab Dynamite Roll was made with snow crab, spiced masago aioli, & osaki mix.
The snow crab meat was sweet & mild while the spiced masago aioli brought out a flavor explosion making for a scrumptious sushi roll. This was Brooke's favorite!
For Signature Plates we had the Kobe on the Rock and the Miso Seabass.
The Kobe on the Rock was made with ponzu-wasabi, Himalayan & sea salt (3oz min, $14 per ounce).
The Kobe on the Rock blew us away and was my favorite dish of the night. The Kobe beef was brought out in raw slices and we got to dip the slices of beef in oil and then cook them on the hot rock. The Kobe beef had amazing marbling and texture - it had an intense meaty flavor that coated our tongues in that prized Kobe umami flavor. A must order!
The Miso Sea Bass was made with miso marinade, fresh vegetables & ginger beurre blanc.
The Miso Sea Bass fillets were marinated in miso and slightly charred. The sea bass was tender and the sea bass' slight sweetness contrasted nicely with the savory soy glaze and buttery beurre blanc sauce.
For New Style Sashimi we had an assortment including tuna, salmon and yellowtail.
The dry ice presentation of the New Style Sashimi was gorgeous and the sashimi was fresh and vibrant.
For Sides we had Truffle Fried Rice.
We tried two more Signature Cocktails the Jade Yama and the Cheeky Devil.
The Jade Yama was made with Sake, Cucumber Vodka, Coconut Milk, Ginger, and Matcha.
The Cheeky Devil was made with Silver Tequila, Campari, Honey, Grapefruit Juice, and Citrus.
I was driving so Tahir had the bar make me a fruity mojito mocktail which was so refreshing & much appreciated.
For Dessert we had the Cappuccino Mousse Pie and the Four High Carrot Cake.
The Cappuccino Mousse Pie was made with rich, decadent chocolate cappuccino mousse, vanilla & fudge.
The pie had a light & fluffy cappuccino mousse filling and a crumbly chocolate pie crust that had us all swooning.
The Four High Carrot Cake was made with cream cheese frosting, walnuts & raisins.
The carrot cake had the perfect blend of spices, creamy frosting and we loved the crunchy walnuts throughout.
What a meal! Huge thanks to JING, Manager Kayla, Tahir & all of the lovely staff for hosting us. We had the best time and will be back very soon!
Check it out babes and let them know that denv.her. sent you! xx
