Note: Mister Jiu's recently moved to a tasting menu format. We'll update the review with more thoughts soon.
Mister Jiu’s needs no introduction. Here’s one anyway: the upscale restaurant opened in 2016, wowing diners with traditional Chinese dishes remixed with Californian takes, like dutch crunch pork buns and uni cheong fun. They’ve since ditched the a la carte format in favor of a $125, five-course tasting menu that's only available in the dining room with the golden lotus chandeliers. We prefer to sit at the bar, where they’re still serving our favorite dishes from the original a la carte menu (it's a better value), like the seasonal cheong fun, puffy sourdough scallion pancakes, and a whole Peking duck with peanut butter hoisin.
