Caesars Entertainment is
proud to announce Las Vegas-based Chinese restaurant, KJ Kitchen, will be
opening its second location inside Rio All-Suite Hotel & Casino before the
end of the year. KJ Dim Sum & Seafood Chinese Restaurant at Rio
will provide guests the KJ Kitchen signature fresh selection of seafood
prepared by a team of chefs trained in the tradition of authentic Chinese
cuisine. Scheduled to open in December 2011, the new eatery will debut the
first KJ Restaurant dim sum menu, available during lunch, which will bring a
special element of the Chinese culture to casino guests and loyal KJ Kitchen
diners interested in a new menu and setting.
Danny “Leung” Nhan, the owner
of KJ Kitchen, is excited about the expansion, especially the dim sum menu
which will provide a one-of-a-kind experience for many visitors. “We will offer
a high quality dim sum and fine dining experience set in a comfortable
atmosphere,” said Nhan, referring to the magnificent 4,600 square-foot location
that will seat up to 350 people, open daily from 10 a.m. to 5 a.m. Exclusive to
the Rio location, the dim sum experience will include a customary tableside
cart allowing guests to visually select their options. Guests will also be able
to enjoy the various shrimp, lobster, crab and giant clam dishes that have made
KJ Kitchen a local favorite.
Head chef Loy Lee, who has
lead the original KJ Kitchen for more than five years, was born and raised in
China and perfected his craft in Hong Kong. Chef Lee will relocate to Rio,
joined by Chef Pui Wong, who contributes more than 30 years of restaurant
experience working in both China and Hong
Kong . The menu will include
many favorite dishes from the original location, including XO Salt & Pepper
Crab and Stir-fry Mongolian Beef, as well as new menu items exclusive to Rio
utilizing Chef Wong’s signature assortment of fresh seafood and seasonal
ingredients.
