   The Jing Yan staff were exceptional! This was our first time visiting and we made the choice to celebrate my partner’s birthday. Our waiter was friendly, attentive and was great at setting expectations. We were surprised with complimentary mocktails and my partner received a handwritten card from the staff to wish him a happy birthday. The menu is perfectly curated and the food delicious! We both tried two different house cocktails, and I’m still thinking about one in particular called The Journey to the East. They also surprised us with a complimentary dessert and it was the perfect way to end the evening. We look forward to stopping in again and enjoying the space. The lighting and decor are really the cherry on top to such an incredible atmosphere and experience!

   Local Asian restaurant with multitude of tastes from fresh foods, unusual but approachable seasonings. Knowledgeable and friendly professional staff.

   I had an amazing cocktail at Jing Yan (Sake cocktail named something about "The East") but I have to say that I didn't love the food I ordered. I may have just ordered poorly but I got the mushroom buns, which were pretty boring in taste and they were overpriced given my friend got an entire noodle dish for the same price (which is what I should have ordered). Pretty similar in menu to Pai Men Miyake, but I did enjoy the different cocktails and cauliflower starter was good as well. Definitely recommend the cocktail I ordered.

    Birthday celebration. I’ve been waiting to go here, watching and salivating over their IG! Well worth the wait. We started with lamb buns- so juicy and tasty. We also had amazing spicy tuna tacos / the highlight of my meal. Blueberry lavender martini- super delish. Korean spaghetti and fried cauliflower- I can’t say enough about this place. Just go! Now…. Wait outside for them to open if you have to.

    Delicious food, great service. Smashed cucumber salad, tuna appetizer and ramen dishes all great. Cauliflower sesame appetizer was the only disappointment - but we’ve all been asking too much of cauliflower - I blame the vegans.

    They gave us an unforgettable experience for my gf’s 30th birthday. Complimentary mock tails started off, followed by delicious lamb skewers (bombdotcom, gotta try). The ramen is out of this world and something we’ll both be dreaming of until our next visit. Their dessert was delicious. Best of all the ambiance and energy was one of best we’ve ever been to. Looking into the kitchen, we’ve never seen such harmony and great vibes radiate, especially with only a few people back there. We love that spot, the crew, and will be back! Thank you for an unforgettable experience and delicious dinner!!

    Birthday for my niece. Snowy night, we got there late. They got us seated and brought a birthday treat for us!! We didn’t get apps, just the meal. The noodles were amazing. Great, bright flavors. Perfect texture. It’s a tiny place, was just about perfect for us. Intimate, noise level was enough for privacy but not loud, we had great conversation and a wonderful evening.

    This was our first dining experience at this restaurant. I have been to its predecessor Lolita numerous times yet it took me a minute to recognize the new decor. The cocktails were a big hit, was very interesting and complex flavors. We had a party for who shared two appetizers; The lamb skewers and the eggplant. Both were very tasty. We all had a noodle dish of some sort for our main. Two people in our party raved about the short ribs and noodles. I was not thrilled with the “Korean spaghetti“ as it appeared to be lacking some sauce despite the poached egg and kimchi. Although the restaurant is advertises pan Asian, it certainly appeared more focused on Korean and Japanese cuisines. I would’ve liked to have had some hot tea either at the beginning or end of the meal. Otherwise, we plan to come back again.

    We had a wonderful dinner. The food is beautifully, thoughtfully and creatively prepared. All four of the dishes we shared were excellent, and several were memorable. I particularly loved the "spicy tuna". We have tried a similar sounding dish at many restaurants. Theirs is a unique 'take' and the best we have ever had. It's artfully (and thoughtfully) spiced tuna chunks in a taco-like crispy wonton wrapper. The service and ambience were also superb.

    We had an amazing first time visit at Jing Yan! Went for a friends birthday and both the service and food were amazing. Really appreciated the personal touches and birthday love for my friend (delish complimentary mocktails with a beautiful birthday card, and a complimentary dessert with a candle) based solely on me mentioning we had a birthday on my Open Table res :) Will definitely be back!

    So glad to find Jing Yan. Took my friend here for her birthday. Cozy with an energetic vibe. Everything we ordered had amazing flavor (grilled cauliflower, mussels, beef ramen). The Lost in Thailand cocktail was fabulous. A complimentary mocktail and dessert for my friend's birthday was a sweet surprise! Servers were attentive and pleasant. Highly recommend and will definitely go back.
