The story
Jia sits inside Beau Rivage Resort & Casino on Biloxi's Beach Boulevard, one of a select handful of restaurants the MGM property highlights as its best. The name alone signals intent — and the menu backs it up with a broad sweep of Asian cuisine, from traditional pan-Asian plates to sushi and live-fire teppanyaki.
Few restaurants on the Gulf Coast can claim the breadth that Jia brings to the table. The teppanyaki experience adds a theatrical, communal element to the meal, while the sushi program speaks to a more refined, detail-oriented side of Asian cuisine. Whether guests arrive for a quiet dinner or a lively group gathering — private parties are accommodated — the kitchen is built to deliver across the full spectrum of the menu.
Wine Spectator's Award of Excellence is not handed out casually, and Jia earned it as far back as 2008. For a restaurant rooted in Asian cuisine, assembling a wine list worthy of that recognition requires both knowledge and care — a signal that the experience here is considered well beyond the plate.
Being part of Beau Rivage gives Jia access to resources few standalone restaurants can match, yet the restaurant holds its own identity. Breakfast, lunch, and dinner service, outdoor seating, and takeaway options make it a flexible choice — whether you're a resort guest or a local seeking one of the more serious Asian dining experiences the Mississippi Gulf Coast has to offer.
