JING has officially arrived in Scottsdale, bringing its signature blend of globally inspired cuisine, subtle Asian influence and high-energy dining to the Valley. Marking the brand’s first Arizona location and fourth nationwide, JING Scottsdale opened at the corner of Scottsdale Road and Shea Boulevard following a dramatic $11 million transformation, joining established outposts in Aspen, Denver and Las Vegas.
At its core, JING – which translates to “energy” – delivers a bold culinary experience centered on sushi, prime steaks, and premium seafood. It reflects the strategic vision of Charlie Huang, founder of JING Hospitality Management Group, and Vice President Alex Kane, developed in close partnership with Corporate Executive Chef Thomas Griese. Leading JING’s culinary direction since 2019, Griese trained under renowned chefs Thomas Keller, André Rochat, and Michael Mina. At JING Scottsdale, he blends refined technique with global perspective, layering subtle Asian influence into masterful interpretations of classic ingredients while shaping an elevated, immersive dining experience.
“We set out to capture the high energy dining experience that JING is so well known for, and that’s why JING Scottsdale is as much about the atmosphere as it is the food,” said Griese. “Guests can start with carefully crafted cocktails and shareable plates, move into elevated dinner courses that showcase globally inspired flavors, and linger as the evening unfolds. Dining at JING Scottsdale is an experience where the menu, the energy, and the moment come together to create connection.”…
