Jing

Jing is doing Asian fusion in Summerlin, which could easily be a disaster of "general tso's chicken meets California roll" nonsense. Instead, they've created something that actually understands what fusion means—taking techniques and flavors from multiple Asian cuisines and making something cohesive instead of confused. And the happy hour? $9 cocktails and wine daily from 4-6pm. Yeah, you should probably go.

The Deal

Daily 4-6pm, you're getting $9 cocktails and $9 wine, which in the world of upscale Asian fusion is basically theft. These aren't dumbed-down happy hour cocktails—Jing's bar program is legit, with drinks that actually complement the food instead of fighting it.

The daily schedule means weekend happy hour exists, which automatically puts Jing ahead of the 60% of restaurants that pretend Saturday and Sunday aren't real days.

The Drinks

Asian fusion gives bartenders permission to play with ingredients that don't show up in traditional American cocktails—yuzu, lychee, shiso, proper sake. At $9, you can actually try something weird without feeling like you're gambling. Worst case, you're out nine bucks. Best case, you've found your new favorite drink.

The wine list typically skews toward bottles that pair well with Asian flavors—crisp whites, lighter reds, some interesting sake options if they're counting that in the wine category. At $9, you're paying less than most grocery stores charge for decent bottles.

The Food Situation

Happy hour at an Asian fusion place is where you want to go hard on small plates and apps. This is food designed for sharing and sampling—dumplings, bao, sushi rolls, whatever creative fusion apps they're running. The portions are usually sized so you can try multiple dishes without committing to a full entree.

The quality-to-price ratio during happy hour is where Jing shines. You're getting the same kitchen execution as dinner service, just in smaller portions at better prices. It's the kind of deal that makes you wonder why you'd ever come here outside of happy hour.

The Vibe

Upscale-casual Asian fusion in a Summerlin shopping center could go a bunch of different directions aesthetically. Jing manages to feel modern and designed without being cold or pretentious. Good lighting, decent music, an atmosphere that works for dates or groups without forcing either.

The 4-6pm window means you're catching the transition from late lunch to early dinner—the crowd is usually a mix of locals who know what's up and early-bird diners getting a head start on their evening.

Why Jing Works

Because Asian fusion happy hour is relatively rare in Vegas, and when it exists, it's usually either too expensive to matter or too dumbed-down to care about. Jing threads the needle—legitimate cocktails and food at prices that actually constitute a deal.

The $9 flat pricing for both cocktails and wine makes decision-making easy. You're not doing mental math trying to figure out if the wine is a better value than the cocktail—they're the same price, so just order what you actually want.

The Summerlin Factor

This is a neighborhood spot for people who live in Summerlin and are tired of the same rotation of chain restaurants. It's also a destination for people willing to drive off-Strip to experience something that isn't designed for tourist extraction.

If you're staying in Summerlin for any reason, Jing should be on your short list. If you're local, this is the kind of place that earns a spot in your regular rotation.

Real Talk

Jing happy hour is what happens when a restaurant actually cares about both the drinks and the food, prices them reasonably, and doesn't try to nickel-and-dime you with exceptions and exclusions. $9 cocktails and wine, daily, 4-6pm—that's the whole pitch, and it's enough.
