I don't have much words to explain it, but this restaurant
I don't have much words to explain it, but this restaurant is a whole experience. Upscale and modern chinese food, full of refined flavors,. The chefs here don't come to play. I see now why it's one of the best restaurants of the city.

And just like that, another Michelin dining experience, checked off the list. The experience overall was absolutely the worst Michelin dining experience that I've had. This was from start to finish. Reservations should be easy to make, especi

I was really looking forward to seeing what the hype was about and it was a little bit of a letdown to be honest. It was a pretty mixed experience. The inside is really nice and spacious with a dark mood. They started by bringing out some Mala peanu

Like an upscale Chinese restaurant with a great vibe? If you do, this place is for you. I went to Mr Jiu's without a reservation and got a seat at the bar, so I knew my luck would be on point that night. Mr Jiu's is a Michelin Star rest
Skip the a la care menu
Please note that this review is just for the à la carte menu. We ordered several dishes and all of them were fairly flat. The new potato dish was actually poor and we didn’t even finish it as it had a really strong mustard seed taste. The ciao fun
Elevated Chinese in Chinatown
My first time visiting this elegant spot serving elevated Chinese food after hearing a lot about their Peking Duck. Mister Jiu's has a fairly large dining room with windows overlooking Chinatown. It has a Michelin star. They currently have 3
Great meal at Mister Jiu's
Very good meal overall. The peaking duck was to die for. Only compliant is that I ordered the waygu steak and it was forgotten.
not worth the wait or price for excellent food but por service
overall D: Updated from Feb 2025 review below: Food good; service was mixed. Fish dish for 2, bok choy, fried rice, cocktails. Bartender seemed underemployed and aggressive. We are exceptionally disappointed that our $40 fried rice didn't end
Awful, tasteless (mostly) and way overpriced
I am being nice giving two stars as this was a spectacularly awful experience. Was told (and I mean told) not to be late for 830 booking so made sure we were there at 830. Then proceeded to be told to wait to be seated until, after 10 mins, said we w
Worst Meal Ever/Avoid & Don't Waste Your Money
By far the WORST MEAL WE'VE EVER HAD...and I am an easy-going, happy person and that this place is AWFUL. No wonder there were empty tables in the main dining room at 8pm. So here's the story --- when making this reservation, we thought the

Incredibly creative and delicious Chinese fine dining experience that rightfully deserves its Michelin star. Attentive and welcoming service, sat immediately without a reservation on a busy lunar new year weekend evening. Fermented cabbage is a flavo

We enjoyed our dinner.
I liked the duck and the fish, and my favorite were the quail eggs with caviar. drinks were great. Interior of the restaurant and food presentation were nice. On a pricy side, but expected from the Michelin star restaurant.

Surprised at its star, frankly there are better Michelin star restaurants for similar or better price points. The food was good, well prepared and cooked, but the flavors felt safe. A stand out was the herbal soup, super medicinal but the perfect qua

Food was very good although the smoked duck was not my thing. Duck is already so rich, and the traditional Peking style preparation cuts through the gamey flavor while the smoked style here was overwhelming and heavy at the end of the meal. Cocktail
My wife and I made the mistake of having our wedding
My wife and I made the mistake of having our wedding reception at Mister Jiu's in November 2022. I'll keep this short and sweet since I'm exhausted from having to deal with this. What started as a seemingly beautiful night took a quick turn for the

Amazing amazing!! Food, ambiance, service! We got the duck, and it was by far the best Peking duck I've had. (And I've had quite a few).
I had come to Mister Jiu's hoping that the 3.
5-star rating was because it was hitting the sweet spot of authenticity for Chinese restaurants - great food maybe with bad service. However, it was neither of those things - just ok service with lackluster food. For the hefty sum of $150, you can
I had very high expectations before coming to Mister Jiu's.
Throughout the meal and even as I'm writing this review, I really struggled with how many stars I would give. I really want to give it 4, but I think it's more like 3.5. We were a party of 3 and did the regular tasting menu with the chow fun added a
Great fun. Loved it!
Every single thing we ate or drank was fantastic. We came for the duck and now we may be sadly disappointed with any other duck ever again.
Overall 6.

Honestly, my take away from Mister Jiu's is that I wish I'd had the opportunity to eat there when it wasn't a tasting menu. Most dishes had an intriguing element, but the whole meal felt like a tease, with some courses being simply forgettable. What'
Great service & food.
Went here with my wife to celebrate our anniversary. Did the tasting menu with the duck (which is one of my favorite things I have ever eaten). It is on the more expensive side, but the thoughtfulness with the various courses, the amazing duck, and g

Definitely exceeded our expectations in terms of food and service. The course was $125/person + $85 for the fish, so not cheap, but definitely worth it! The main dish and our favorite for the evening was the Sichuan cod. Absolutely delicious - cook t

Finally got the chance to try this place and it did not disappoint! I was with a group of 3 and we came at opening (5 pm) to get seating at the bar. We ordered the beef tendon, cheong fun, and duck. FYI, the duck takes an hour to come out! The food
I came here for dinner.
I'll be the first to admit that I'm not a huge fan of tasting menus, but this food was really good. First, they had a vegetarian menu, which I appreciate a lot. All of the food was tasty, but the mushroom vegetarian entree was especially great, and I

Removing a star only because the hostess and the servers that brought out my drinks spoke a little too softly for me to hear, so i didn't catch what most of my non alcoholic drinks were. Reached out via email and instagram but never got a response un
I was in luck with a decision to grab dinner on a whim.
Walk-in is available at the bar with a separate menu. The service is beyond exceptional, even at the bar. It's so chic inside so this could easily be a nice date night at a Michelin star restaurant. Snag a seat at the bar and be fancy on a budget.

Overall the food is still very delicious and innovative but they have switched to a tasting menu only in the dining room. Ala carte is available at the bar. The tasting menu is 6 small courses including dessert. We added Peking duck and for 7 people
To be very honest, I am conflicted.
Over the years, I've been to Mr. Jiu's 4x total and the menu has definitely evolved. Being Chinese, I really appreciate "bougey" chinese food and am so happy that others are enjoying this too, but overall I haven't found items particularly
My Opinion of Mister Jiu's
I would not choose to come here again. We came here to try the duck. We walked up a steep hill to get to this place, then had to sit at the bar, and they ran out of duck so we couldn't order it. The food we got was just ok. Service from the barten
Highly recommended
We have a great time at Mister Jiu's. Our waiter, a lovely, vibrant young Thai lady took great care of us and we loved all her recommendations, food and drinks. The place also has interesting decor, it's relaxing and a lot of fun. Highly recommended
Do not go
I was extremely excited to eat at this restaurant until I went through all the complicated hoops to make the reservation. After some back and forth, I had to cancel our reservation 24 hours in advance due to my guest's changing plans and they still c
A restaurant well worth patronizing; only a little more evolution needed.
Good experience all around. The attractive setting, our friendly and attentive waiter, the libations, and almost all courses were so enjoyable that we will return, maybe to try the ala carte menu at the bar. The stars of the show are the Peking duck,

Connect with users posting reservations for Mister Jiu's San Francisco
AppointmentTrader is a community-driven platform where users can exchange their reservations or leverage their personal relationships with Mister Jiu's San Francisco. Buyers can make informed decisions using automated seller ratings, which reflect past transactions and reliability.
Each posting on AppointmentTrader shows you which user submitted it and along with that provides a trackrecord of that user which indicates how much experience

If there is no user posting that fits your schedule, you can bid on your preferred time.
Let's say Peter has a great morning and decides to take his three friends to Mister Jiu's San Francisco at 6 PM the same day.
He checks the restaurant's website and sees that no reservations are available. He then looks at the Mister Jiu's San Francisco page on AppointmentTrader, but finds that there are no user postings either.
That's where the community-driven bid process comes in.
Peter can place a bid on AppointmentTrader, which serves as a reward for any community member who chooses to work on securing the reservation. AT then notifies experienced users who may be able to help.
Step-by-Step Process
1.) Setting a Reward (Bid)
* AppointmentTrader uses historical data to recommend a reasonable reward amount for securing a reservation - let's say $100.
* Peter really wants to go, so he increases the bid (or reward) to $200.
* At this stage, the reservation does not exist yet.
2.) A Community User Picks Up the Bid
* ElaborateHouse74, an experienced AT user, has a strong track record of successfully securing reservations and low refund requests, they receive a notification about Peter's bid.
* ElaborateHouse74 picks up the bid, meaning they will now work on securing the reservation.
* Peter can now talk to ElaborateHouse74 for any questions Peter may have as ElaborateHouse74 user fills the bid.
3.) Finding the Reservation
* ElaborateHouse74 now uses their connections at Mister Jiu's San Francisco to secure the table.
* If they successfully get the 6 PM table for four, Peter receives a confirmation that the reservation has been secured.
* If ElaborateHouse74 fails to secure the reservation, the bid is returned to the pool so another user can try.
4.) Payment & Protection
* Once the reservation is secured, ElaborateHouse74 receives the $200 reward which is credited to ElaborateHouse74's AT balance, where users manage their own funds and can withdraw via available payout options such as bank transfer, PayPal, or Zelle.
* Peter can now enjoy the dinner with his friends at Mister Jiu's San Francisco!
* As with all transactions on AT, disputes and no-show fees are handled through the platform's community-driven resolution system. Users with a strong track record are incentivized to fulfill bids successfully, and community members can report issues to maintain trust in the marketplace.
