Jing Asian Fusion Sushi and Raw Bar

It took 15 minutes for our waiter to come to the table. Our drinks arrived after our meal and the food was not very good. Overall a miserable experience. Lunch bill was also $120 and we are still hungry. Not a good sign that we are now back at our place trying to fill ourselves up.

I had high expectations for this place...

I made reservations in advance, so we were able to slide right in to our table. However, I absolutely hated our seating, place right next to this semi-wall space, where the wait staff squeezed behind me and walked back and forth every few SECONDS! It was beyond annoying...and made my dining experience extremely uncomfortable.

First of all, the restaurant was small, but chic and nicely appointed...but the layout was WAY too tight, with so many tables squeezed in too closely! In fact, the problem seemed to be too many tables in such a small space. Totally killed the ambiance of the whole place. Truly a shame 'cuz the place was very nicely appointed! Sorry, but minus 1 star right off the bat for the horribly tight seating arrangement.

Now, the food. First of all, must mention that the pricing is a bit outlandish. However, I get that this is Aspen...and I know that many restaurants in these parts are priced like this.

We ordered this Dragon Roll as an appetizer...and it was really good. However, for a nearly 30-dollar sushi roll, I expected something a bit fancier...and more generous?

For our entrees, we ordered the following: Singapore Rice Noodles, Tenderloin Shitake Fried Rice and Thai Basil Free Range Chicken. I ordered the Singapore Rice Noodles...and had major regrets. While delicious, there really wasn't anything special about it whatsoever. Again, for a pricey noodle dish, I expected something MORE. Even a single flower in that basic dish would have helped lol! Same thoughts applied to the other 2 dishes.

My husband tried the Thai Basil Free Range Chicken. Again, he thought it was good, but didn't match the pricing. At least I thought that his dish was well presented...unlike mine. My son went for the Tenderloin Shitake Fried Rice...and he actually really liked it (and he's a finicky eater!). Good thing...'cuz this 36-buck fried rice was the most expensive fried rice he's ever had! We finished off with this Mochi Ice Cream (Matcha)...and it turned out to be just 1 Mochi Ice Cream Ball, simply sliced into 4 pieces, and priced at 7 bucks! WOW...I almost felt had lol. I really struggled with the ratings on this one....based on the flavor of the foods, probably a 4 or 5, but the presentation was a 3. Then comes the pricing. If the pricing was more fair, I would have dropped 4 stars. However, we left feeling a bit ripped. I mean, I've had better Singapore Noodles at nearly a third of this price...better presented even! Also 7 bucks for 1 ball of Mochi Ice Cream...simply sliced into 4 pieces, with nothing else added...Really?!? At that point, I thought they deserved 2 stars. Since I'm on a vacation, thought I'd bump it up to 3.

Honestly, the best thing I liked about this place was its overhead music. It was very cool...just my vibe. Service was fine...attentive and quick. However, like I mentioned earlier, our seating was so bad, the whole experience was just annoying. Not kidding when I say that the wait staff all walking right behind me the whole damn time!! Everything was just really disappointing (and annoying)...again, just not reflective of its price points.

To be frank, I've had a few meals already around Aspen, and I've been underwhelmed with the quality of the foods...especially for its pricing. I don't mind paying 30 bucks for some noodles or fried rice dish if they are actually worth that much...in its stellar quality, presentation, or SOMETHING...but the thing is, I've noticed that with many of these meals, there's just nothing special about them....except for the fact that the prices are pumped up. Well, I haven't given up hopes just yet. A few more stellar restaurant lined up...and I'm just hoping hard they'll be worth it.

One of my favorite restaurants ever! I try to visit every time I'm in Aspen.
You really can't go wrong with any of the food items on the menu and compared to the other seafood restaurants this location is worth the price that's posted. I've always found the owner is at this location the most compared to the vegas or Denver spot and he takes pride in the food because I see him checking dishes as they go out.
Loved the service this time around especially!
I highly recommend getting the sake bomb if your with a group! Experience is so fun you will enjoy your time for sure!

When you're actually looking for the best sushi in Aspen. And you hate going to Matti. E hiatu and the absolute bore, it is come to Jing. Where you will be greeted by the owner. And the most exceptional Peking dock. And all of the land I highly suggest this place..

Limited but good selections for vegetarians/vegans. The highlight was the kale truffle fried rice and the shitake mushroom in garlic schezuan sauce. The mushroom dumplings were okay. We ordered a cucumber dish to start but sent it back because it was not to our liking. Good service.

This used to be one of my friend's favorite places to eat in Aspen, emphasis on used to be. Now he says this place is off the list. Why? Because they're packing people in like sardines in a can. The space where he was sitting, he was enclosed by people and couldn't move his chair. He felt immobilized. Better than me, because I was in this weird space that was between the table and the corner of a jutting wall, so servers were constantly walking around me, holding trays of food over my head as they passed, and I had to constantly scoot in to make way for them. The whole dinner was like that. Plus there were six of us, so you'd think there'd be enough table space for what we ordered. After awhile we were overwhelmed by plates. My friend who ordered another order of the wagyu on a hot stone begged when they brought it out for them to take it all back and cook it in the kitchen so we wouldn't have another giant tray of presentation on our tables. The waiter didn't understand, so my friend gave up and let them put it on our table but I could tell he was fuming at having a big hot rock put in front of him when at this moment, he just wanted the food, not the show. Was the food good? Yeah. Sis liked the Yellowtail with grapefruit, and we both liked the lobster dumplings. The Hong Kong Style BB Ribs were good and the Chilean Sea Bass Truffle was okay. The Hokkaido Cream cake was okay, but dryer than you'd find at an HMart. Still we liked almost everything we ate, but we're not coming back because that was a super stressful night.

Great cocktails, sushi, and service! Honey crispy shrimp excellent!
Chocolate cake was a disappointment but everything else was great!

Amazing food! We ordered a couple of apps, sushi rolls and soup, this is the 2nd time we come here, you can't leave Aspen without coming hService is super nice and vibes are so fun! As in, only if you're down to hearing club music and loud voices

They literally charge Michelin price for gas station food. I can't believe the audacity they have.
It is the worst Asian restaurant I have ever been to. Not only because food is bad, but also because how much bath faith they operate in. They charge $21 for 3 tiny pieces of soup dumplings, which already was kind of ridiculous, but the bigger surprise is when the dumplings came. They are the instant frozen dumplings that you can buy at Asian grocery stores for 6 bucks a bag, which has 20 dumplings. They got the dumplings for $0.3 each but are charging $7 a piece to their customers, which is 23 times more. It's appalling. Not to mention the fact that they brand themselves as an upscale restaurant but serve cheap frozen dumplings as gourmet food. It feels like I went to a fancy Italian restaurant, they charged me $23 dollars for a dollar slice pizza they got from Costco. What the actual hell.

This place is worth your time and money. I will definitely be back. Easy to get a seat. Fast service. Some of the most delicious sushi I have had in Colorado and happy hour. What a fantastic find.

The food was so good, but the service could not have been worse. Our waitress, Molly, forgot our order and never came to check to make sure we got it (we didn't). We could see her goofing off with her friends the whole time. When she finally came to check on us, she smelt like alcohol and gave my boyfriend attitude about the whole situation.
