Although what is ultimately presented to diners is the sensory experience that combines color, aroma and taste, but behind an excellent dish are the chef’s emotions and experiences that cannot be expressed in words. When all these seemingly ethereal things are applied to ingredients with familiar techniques and unconventional innovations, the cuisine can transcend the inherent concept of food – and Jason Liu , the chef behind 1 Michelin Star restaurant LING LONG , is a gourmet craftsman who is capable of doing just that. Liu began his culinary journey at the age of 14 – when he first learned how to cook.

He then worked at a Western restaurant before opening Bistro 3 in Beijing. Combining his early experiences with the knowledge he gained from a year-long journey exploring the roots of Chinese cuisine, Liu opened LING LONG – a fine dining restaurant with a “re-fine dining” approach to contemporary Chinese cuisine. Focusing on freshness, tradition and local ingredients, LING LONG’s menu amalgamates elements from both Chinese and Western cuisines, creating distinct yet comforting dishes that respect traditions.



All of these are part of the reasons behind the restaurant’s success as it garners recognition beyond its industry. In 2023, LING LONG Beijing was selected as one of Asia’s 50 Best Restaurants. While the restaurant’s Shanghai outpost only made its debut this year, it has already been spotlighted in 2024’s Asia’s 50 Best Restaurants.
