Jade Noodle Co. at Gold Strike
Gold Strike adds eatery
TUNICA — Gold Strike Casino Resort has expanded its Collective Kitchens venue with the opening
of Jade Noodle Company, a fast- casual Asian dining concept, earlier this month. The restaurant brings authentic East and Southeast Asian flavors to the resort’s diverse dining lineup.
“We’re thrilled to introduce Jade Noodle Company to Gold Strike,” said Mike Tamburelli, vice president of commercial gaming. “Its bold, authentic flavors enhance our innovative culinary offerings for every palate.”
Jade Noodle Company joins Collective Kitchens’ lineup, including BRGR & CHKN, Pinch of Southern Grill, Dough Mama’s Pizza, and
Rise Coffee & Bakery, a Starbucks purveyor. It complements Gold Strike’s dining portfolio, featuring Buffet Americana, Drafts Bar & Grill, and Chicago Steakhouse.
Jade Noodle Company’s menu features dishes like slow-braised pork belly, grilled chicken, and lemongrass beef bánh mì sandwiches on French Vietnamese baguettes with spicy mayo, pickled cucumbers, carrots, daikon, cilantro, and jalapeño. Noodle soups include oxtail pho, and shrimp and pork wonton noodle soup.
For lighter fare, Vietnamese summer rolls, with or without shrimp, are served with peanut sauce. Beverages include Vietnamese iced coffee with condensed milk, matcha and taro boba milk teas, bottled drinks, soft drinks, and beer.
