Eating at Jinga is as close as you’re going to get to a vacation
in the South Seas without taking a plane trip. Mai tais
win out over margaritas, green curry tops green chile. The
décor of dark woods and vivid tropical colors further the
beach holiday feel but it’s the food that really makes you
feel like you’ve escaped. The pan-Asian menu offers
something of a greatest hits of Asian cooking, from pad
Thai to teriyaki chicken to kung pao chicken and Malay
coconut soup. The chicken udon soup is chicken noodle
with a serious kick; you won’t normally be this enthused
about broth and the noodles are thick, chewy and slurpable.
The appetizers continue the skipping across the
continent with Japanese crabcakes, Vietnamese spring
rolls and imperial lettuce wraps that combine hot and
cold, tangy and spicy, crisp and smooth all in one dish of
chopped, well-flavored chicken scooped into fresh lettuce
and doused with a sweet chile sauce. Bon voyage!
