Mister Jiu’s

Had a superb experience late Saturday night. We had three people, one with a wine pairing and one with a non-alcoholic pairing with the duck to cap it off. Absolutely incredible service, with perfect pacing and constant attention. Food was top-notch, with exquisite flavors that brought traditional Chinese and San Francisco classics together in a unique and tasty combo. Dessert was a delicious finish that was rich and delightful without being too sweet.

Brought the family here to celebrate a birthday. It is based in an historic Chinatown building. The service was fun and ambiance lively. They even gave us a little card for the birthday. We loved the modern cantonese cuisine with some western touches. Cocktails were balanced and tasty. The halibut “yusheng” was light and balanced by crunchy seeds. Among my favorites was the giant scallop and pork belly dumpling. The soup inside was delicious. Beef was well prepared and tender. We had the bass and duck for mains. These were executed well and came with elevated sides. Duck was served with pate and chewy pancakes. It was among the more meaty preparations we’ve had and had salty, smoky skin. Dessert was tasty as well.

Securing a dinner reservation for three, we headed to San Francisco for the weekend. Every item on the tasting menu impressed us, and the addition of duck was a good decision. My ultimate favorite was the day boat scallop and pork belly dumpling—their in-house xo sauce was exceptional, and I wish I could purchase a bottle! Overall, it was a fantastic dining experience, and I look forward to returning for the next tasting menu.

These boys can cook. Big fear amongst Asians is paying top dollar from something their mama can make, but the flavors on some of these dishes were outstanding . Got the harmony and the tequila drink , tasted like a peanut milk drink, very peanutty kind sweet The spicy tequila drink was balanced and fruity. Rice rolls with mushrooms, outstanding. Ma Pao tofu- sensory experience, mouth numbing but flavorful Chicken friend rice with gravy - 10/10 best FR ever Pass on the pear salad Dessert was an ice milk- too light for my gluttonous tongue $2 for side sauces (kinda penny pinching ) but they were both good especially their in house sriracha Would definitely bcome back with a bigger group to try the large main shareable dishes

My old pal Harley Krakenbacker just moved back from Saigon and wanted to go get dinner with me, so I thought I'd take him to Mister Jiu's. I picked him up at his house out on Broadway and said we'll go to Mister Jiu's for Chinese food, he said no way! I've had nothing but Asian food for 2 years, I want a cheeseburger and fries ...So I dropped him off at the Hippo and I went to Jiu's for Chinese.

Appetizers are amazing with a fine line of fusion. Entrees (we ordered a whole fish and chicken) are quite disappointing, definitely not worth the price. The fish can be served in any restaurant in China for $20. Next time I will just go to the bar and order appetizers. The other restaurant Empress By Boon has much better entrees. The dessert is on another level though, refreshing, innovating and not too sweet :)

This is now one of my new favorite restaurants! Everything was superb, from the food to the service to the stunning decor (even the bathroom was gorgeous). My husband and I went for our 1 year wedding anniversary and the staff wrote us a very cute card as a thank you for celebrating with them. Can't wait to come back to try the next seasonal menu and check out the cocktail bar upstairs!
