Jade Asian Kitchen & Noodles is a flavorful journey through Chinese, Japanese and Pan-Asian cuisines featuring multi-regional offerings in a setting both vibrant and peaceful.

Situated in the Promenade on the north side of the resort and steps away from the popular Clubhouse Deli, the restaurant boasts nearly 10,000 square feet with seating for more than 400 guests throughout the restaurant’s interior dining areas, outdoor patio, and bar. Guests can opt for the main dining room which features a spacious main dining area, a secluded Teppanyaki room with two group tables, a communal/social sushi room, a casual noodle spot perfect for lunch or dinner, and a lush outdoor patio with koi fish swimming in ponds, the sounds of waterfalls and a beautiful landscape.
