ElizaSeptember 26, 2016Happiness cocktail, egg drop soup, soft shell crab and the duck were all amazing. Little bit of a splurge for dinner with drinks, but it was a fun environment and very creative food.
James HOctober 26, 2017Crispy Scarlet Turnip Cakes. And the smoked tofu was all kinds of new spices.
Andy WangApril 29, 2016Reminds me of a more laid back Hakkasan with more OG Cantonese flavor profile and higher price point. Dungeness crab custard and uni noodle are must haves
- Noah WeissFebruary 9, 2019Fantastic Michelin started Chinese food that’s inventive, delicious, and relatively affordable — plus tasty cocktails and slick vibes. Dutch crunch pork buns, uni cheong fun, squid ink pork wontons 👌
John SteidleSeptember 13, 2018Amazing food, service and cocktails. The Dutch crunch BBQ buns, hot and sour soup, and mapo tofu really stood out, but the duck was the star of the show.
Jon B.July 9, 2017Get their early, and grab one of their amazing cocktails to start. I tried their prix fixe menu, and it was outstanding, but go with a larger group and build your own family style meal.
Omer ZachMay 30, 2016Make reservations for a big group for an expensive feast or walk in with a friend and share a couple reasonably priced dishes at the bar.
Paul HungNovember 9, 2017Contemporary evolution of Cantonese cuisine. Charcuterie was inspired and my favorites of the night. Save room for dessert if you can. I didn't but I got the black sesame cake anyway. No regrets.
BommySeptember 29, 2019Scallion pancake is really unique. Steak fried rice and potstickers are familiar dishes but the flavors are on point. Wouldn’t say that you absolutely have to order the duck. Make reservations.
- Mike WinstonSeptember 30, 2017Very creative and elevated takes on Chinese food classics. Interesting ingredients brings twists to the old stand-bys. Don't miss the Steak Fried Rice with Shaved Tuna Heart. WinstonWanders.com
John SpinaleDecember 16, 2016Mr Jiu's is a wonderful, updated take on classic Chinese food. The family style dinners are perfect for big groups. Love it!
- BommyNovember 9, 2018Try the tasting menu if it's your first time. Steak fried rice, quail, and frozen whipped honey are the stars.
J CrowleyJanuary 29, 2020Chinese Fancy! Pork wontons with squid was incredible. Steak fried rice was pretty good, and worth splitting, but doesn’t live up to the hype of all these tips.
Marcelo CastroJune 8, 2017I've tried starred restaurants here: The Progress, Octavia... None is even closer to Mister Jiu's. Staff honestly friendly, food with a very delicate flavor, delicious. Try anything. Best in town.
Shirley LiuNovember 18, 2016Nice ambience and good food, although pricey. Order a few things to share vs banquet menu -- steak fried rice and duck were both great. Good cocktails, I liked the gin-based Happiness.
Ken verbJanuary 20, 2017Rise above the bourgeoisie while you feast on mu shu and pork bao. Skip the prix fixe "banquet menu" and wine pairing.
Cocktails are stellar and I could have eaten 100 Dutch crunch buns. I already have the duck and the sesame seed cake picked out for our next trip!
Cameron WDecember 29, 2019Great high end Chinese food experience. The steak fried rice was killer. I recommend the tasting menu but be warned that it is a ton of food.
Brendan AanesMarch 16, 2018Everything was great but the squid wontons and wild mushroom Bao stood out. Also, their cocktails are good- lots of complexity and subtle flavors that popped out even more with the food.
Wilson Favre-DelerueOctober 26, 2017Slightly disappointed by the food (except the superb deserts) but adored the magnificent interior design.
Bikash MishraJanuary 17, 2017Everything is so tasty!! And the ambience is excellent. Unlikely spot in Chinatown.
Odile RoujolSeptember 30, 2017Excellent diner with the 7 dishes menu. Avoid the wine pairing, better to choose yourself
Gregory FosterJune 2, 2017Expensive but delicious small plates. The chicken wings were particularly fantastic, but everything we tried was perfectly cooked with a good crisp.
Angela Z.December 23, 2016Get the duck. Happy hour is bomb - midori cocktail is light and melon-y and not too sweet.
Don't sleep on the silken mapo tofu and be aware the cocktails keep the same names even though their ingredients might change every few months.
Bridget GaelNovember 3, 2021Peking duck was amazing! We also loved the scallion pancakes and moo shu mushrooms. Neutral on the squid ink dumplings
Monica DesaiFebruary 9, 2019Maybe my favorite restaurant in SF, highly recommend the Dutch crunch pork buns, uni rolls and wontons❤️!
Foxxy BMay 13, 2017Incredible cocktails! Try the Peking duck: buttery tender & crispy skin. The buns are interesting. Good wings.
steenMay 22, 2019The pork buns, sea urchin cheong fun and the steak fried rice is great. Save room for dessert!!!
Janko MilunovicApril 13, 2018the food arrangement is beautiful tho the taste is not really following. and prices are very high. the restaurant is lovely.- Lani MDecember 22, 2018The luck and happiness cocktails are delicious. I’d go back just for cocktails.
Paul GaugerSeptember 6, 2023Just sat at the bar but found that menu limited. Scallion pancake was recommended. Quite tasty. But overall, would say perhaps dine in the restaurant for a proper meal.
Shelli BeanMarch 19, 2017Get the Dutch crunch BBQ pork buns + steak fried rice. THIS IS NOT A ONE DOLLAR SIGN PLACE. Nor is it traditional/authentic Chinese food place.
Go with a large group. Don't miss the fried rice, turnip cake, or duck.
Jiashu WangJune 27, 2021super average chinese food w/o any twist or creation, and definitely subpar service for a michelin star restaurant. remind me again where the star is for? 🙃
Chloe CondonDecember 31, 2016Great food! Our server was a little weird though. I ordered my drink and she said "I hate that drink". 🤔
J.R. ReedApril 23, 2021Must haves: scallion pancakes, dirty rice, and dumplings! Cocktail of choice: pixie and Luna!
Winson WongApril 10, 2016The best thing here is the char-siu. That was really delicious. Other dishes were alright. Expensive Chinese fusion food. Service and cocktails were good though.
- DroqenMarch 9, 2017Mister Jiu's currently priced at $ out of $$$$ (0-10$ price point). This is EXTREMELY MISLEADING but I can't figure out how to suggest an edit. Someone: please change it to $$$ or even $$$$.

"You can’t really go wrong. Chicken in a space suit, shrimp chips, spicy plantation peanuts, all the best natural wines, lovely servers and space. It’s tits."

"Ordering ahead is usually a good idea. Melissa's interpretation of (Asian) pastry is phenomenal – from rich burnt honey pie to fluffy, not-too-sweet vanilla sponge slices."
