ITC Maratha in Mumbai has unveiled a new gem in its fine-dining crown: Yi Jing, a concept dining Chinese restaurant that promises to tantalise the taste buds of Mumbai's gourmands. This latest addition marks a new chapter in ITC Hotels' journey of culinary excellence, offering a reimagined taste of Chinese cuisine.

Yi Jing, led by the experienced Executive Chef Liang Xiao Qing, is the fourth instalment of ITC Hotels' Chinese concept dining. The restaurant specialises in the rich, diverse flavours of Sichuan and Hunan cuisines. Nestled on the lobby level of ITC Maratha, Yi Jing extends over 4250 sq ft with a split-level design and has the capacity to seat over 90 guests.

The restaurant's design is a feast for the eyes. It's divided into four distinct zones: demonstration kitchens for ‘Wok Hei’, a Dimsum & Hand Pulled Noodle Bay, an arched bar, and two private dining rooms. The decor, with bright red accents on wallpapers and chairs, harmonises with repurposed jute pendant lamps, creating an atmosphere of sophisticated elegance.

Yi Jing’s extensive menu features a range of crowd-pleasers: handcrafted swan-shaped Char Sui, Sake & Edamame Dimsums, steamed pork baos, Hunan style stir-fried tofu, and water chestnut dishes. A highlight is the Hand-Pulled Lamian Noodles, showcasing the chef's years of skill development. The restaurant also offers specialties like Beijing Roast Duck, along with an assortment of farm-fresh vegetarian dishes, seafood, and free-range meats in enticing oriental sauces. The dessert selections are equally impressive, promising an unforgettable dining experience.

Bhagwan Balani, the General Manager of ITC Maratha, Mumbai, expressed excitement about Yi Jing's launch. He envisions the restaurant as more than a dining spot; it's a celebration of culinary artistry. Balani is confident that Yi Jing’s modern interpretation of Chinese flavours will not only elevate but revolutionise Mumbai’s dining scene, staying true to ITC’s commitment to exceptional dining experiences.
