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.

Wonderful Christmas dinner experience at Yampa Valley Kitchen. We had wonderful food - roasted squash appetizer, the short ribs, salmon and pasta bolognese. Generous portions. Everything was delicious and gorgeously presented. Our server - Trinity? - was very cordial, friendly and had an inviting big smile. My favorite holiday songs played softly in the background - loud enough to hear but not overwhelming that we cannot talk. The restaurant’s decor is tasteful and current. We all would highly recommend Yampa Valley Kitchen.

Amazing food. Had a party of 6. Ordered 6 small plates and one large and that seemed to be enough for everyone. And yes, that was the best fried chicken we ever had.

We visited on Christmas Eve, and it was an amazing experience! The service was outstanding, and the sommelier helped us choose the perfect wine to pair with our dinner. The food was absolutely delicious! Highly recommend it!
