Located at The Shops at the Boulevard, Jing Ting is a 92-seater restaurant with an inviting open kitchen. Meaning “a little house” or “resting place,” Jing Ting draws inspiration from the traditional Northern Chinese “Hutongs” that symbolize a communal space for gathering and strengthening relationships. This concept is reflected in the restaurant’s ambiance that encourages diner to bond over a shared love for Northern Chinese flavors.
Jing Ting’s cuisine celebrates the rich, bold, and savory tastes characteristic of Northern China, thanks to the liberal use of seasonings and spices, including vinegar, garlic, coriander, leeks, and salt, which contribute to its distinct flavors and aromas. The menu primarily features meat dishes, complemented by wheat-based dishes like dumplings and noodles.
