Maverick Gaming™ is excited to announce the opening of Dragon Tiger Noodle Company. This landmark opening is the first celebrity driven restaurant in Central City or Black Hawk and represents the first Colorado outpost of venerated celebrity chef Jet Tila.

Open daily, Dragon Tiger Noodle Company introduces a new Pan-Asian concept with dishes inspired by Jet Tila’s travels across Asia. Guests will enjoy the opportunity to build a unique bowl with a wide variety of noodles, broth, proteins, and vegetables to choose from. Ramen novices can sample Chef Tila’s favorite creations, while experts can build a perfect customized bowl. All items are served quickly using only the freshest ingredients.

The restaurant is the fourth Dragon Tiger Noodle Company by Chef Jet Tila, who has introduced his spin on Asian dishes in Nevada with two locations in Las Vegas and another in Henderson.

“We’re thrilled to see how visitors, players and local residents have responded so enthusiastically to Dragon Tiger Noodle Company,” said General Manager Dodd Hanneman. “We see people come back frequently, often with new family members and friends.”

In addition to the main dishes, the restaurant’s unique chicken Dragon Wings have proven to be a standout item on the menu, Hanneman said.

The restaurant, which is open daily from 11 a.m. to 9 p.m., is also the first Asian restaurant in Central City. On Saturdays, starting January 21, it will also feature entertainment with a rotating lineup of deejays spinning contemporary hits.

Jet Tila originally hails from Los Angeles where he grew up working in the Bangkok Market and at his family’s restaurant, Royal Thai, which first opened its doors in 1978. When he was a boy, Chef Jet’s Cantonese grandmother would pass down ancient recipes and traditions to him, which cultivated a deep passion for Asian cuisine from an early age. As a child born in the first family of Thai food in Los Angeles, Chef Jet says he was the kid doing homework in the back corner of his parent’s restaurant.

As he reached adulthood, Chef Jet went on to round out his culinary education at Le Cordon Bleu and the California Sushi Academy. Today, he is a James Beard and Daytime Emmy award-nominated chef who has appeared on CBS’s “The Early Show,” and numerous food television shows, including “Cutthroat Kitchen,” “Iron Chef America,” “The Best Thing I Ever Ate,” “Chopped,” “Guy’s Grocery Games” and “Beat Bobby Flay.”

Chef Jet received the ceremonial title of “Culinary Ambassador” for Thailand, by the Royal Thai Consulate-General in Los Angeles. Eventually, he made his way to Nevada where he landed a role as executive chef at Wazuzu Asian Restaurant at the Wynn Las Vegas and Encore Resort. Chef Jet ended up leaving the Las Vegas food scene in 2016 to grow his national brand by authoring three cookbooks, appearing on radio and national television, and producing online recipe videos.
