This team is clever and polished. The service & cocktails, were sensational . The food was outstanding- well executed, interesting flavours and superb presentation. We could have stayed all night and eaten our way through the whole menu. By far the best meal we have dined on in the USA. Delicious I would give 6 stars if I could. World class
Dinner was excellent and tasty. We had the tranquility cocktails and Mister Jiu's taster menu. The whole table must order it. It was a great way to taste the different flavors. We also half order of the duck. Delicious and very flavorful. We were not rushed and service was great. Kept checking in with our table.
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 :)
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.
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!
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
So much food! There is a tasting before the main dish, started with a bite, then a calamari salad (delish), lobster soup dumpling, charred eel with crispy rice, lamb (I believe it was unnecessary) and the the beef noodles (I wish I had an empty stomach or more capacity to eat) we got the leftovers and we were so so so full and very happy. Overall nice and quick service, we didn’t feel rushed or too slow. Recommended 10/10

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.
Could not get a reservation so we did à la carte menu for walk-in diners at the bar. Supplemented the baby bok choy and fried rice with the signature, family-style roast duck with burnished skin. AMAZING and way too much for 2 people.
We got the tasting menu and the Peking duck. GET THE PEKING DUCK IT IS SO GOOD and authentic.
Overall the food is decent, but a little on the salty side for every dish. So if u can, definitely get something sweet for drinks.
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.
