About the restaurant
A favorite of locals and guests alike, Jing (formerly Asie) features a unique menu of modern Asian fusion, contemporary sushi, sashimi, and raw bar dishes. Fresh ingredients, creative cuisine, and an inviting atmosphere that inspire warmth and happiness. Jing delivers an authentic Asian experience right in the heart of downtown Aspen.

Beloved for his original approach to Asian dining, Chef Frank Lu’s techniques and artistry are showcased in signature dishes such as the new style sashimi, homemade dim sum, Japanese hot rock, and Frank's Truffle Kale Fried Rice.

If interested, you should reserve these signature dishes ahead of time, as we often run out: Peking duck, Wagyu tomahawk steak, and whole fish.
