High-end Chinese cuisine with California influences in historic space
"I can celebrate Mister Jiu's in San Francisco's Chinatown as it marks its 10th anniversary in 2026 with chef collaborations and alumni reunions, confirming its standing as a fine‑dining gem." - Arati Menon, Megan Spurrell
"An undeniable main character in the city’s upscale Chinese dining scene, this is described here as the only Chinese restaurant in the United States to hold a Michelin star." - Paolo Bicchieri
"As the final dish at the tasting menu, the sesame ball here is a well-composed, spot-on example—indulgent, nutty, and boasting what many Southeast Asian cultures call q texture (what the Michelin Guide describes as bouncy, springy), with an exterior crunch that hits the ideal balancing act." - Paolo Bicchieri
"The country’s only Michelin-star-holding Chinese restaurant is ditching its tasting menu; as of Wednesday, August 6 the a la carte menu is back alongside a Chinatown-inspired banquet for $125 built around its famous Peking duck, a change chef Brandon Jew says better fits the vibe even if the financial math remains uncertain after a prior pivot meant to balance the checkbook." - Paolo Bicchieri
"This upscale Chinese restaurant from chef Brandon Jew remains impressive for its legendary whole-roasted duck among other dishes. (1 star)" - Eater Staff
