About 关于
Mister Jiu’s is a Michelin-starred Chinese-American restaurant and bar located in the heart of San Francisco’s Chinatown.
Housed in a landmark building that once held the iconic Four Seas and Hang Far Low restaurants, the space bridges past and present. Since opening, Mister Jiu’s has held one Michelin star for nine consecutive years. Led by owner and executive chef Brandon Jew, the restaurant honors traditional Chinese recipes while embracing the Bay Area’s seasonal, organic bounty — reimagining what Chinese-American cuisine can be.
