Track #4: Jade Asian Kitchen @JW Marriott/Rampart Casino in Summerlin

Restaurants inside off-Strip hotels can easily be overlooked. “Dig a little deeper” is what I always tell myself, and that led me to Jade Asian Kitchen & Noodles at the JW Marriott/Rampart Casino in Summerlin North.

The setting here is modern and beautifully lit, with a soaring ceiling that instantly envelops diners. The wide-ranging menu encompasses Chinese dishes and dim sum and sushi as well as Teppanyaki (the Japanese cooking style which involves chefs grilling food in front of diners on a flat iron griddle), for which reservations are required.

Everything we ordered hit the mark: chicken/vegetable potstickers, orange chicken, the “Tweety Bird” sushi (accented with Amarillo salsa), shrimp lo mein, stir-fried green beans, and Jade’s unforgettable ube cheesecake, topped with a “lace halo cookie.” A welcoming and accommodating wait staff puts a bow on the experience. Enjoy happy hour on the patio Wednesday-Sunday between 4-6pm.
