Chef/owner Brandon Jew's unique Californian take on Chinese cooking has made Mister Jiu's a perennial favorite. He deploys top-flight ingredients for original dishes that celebrate Cantonese cuisine and the Bay Area's seasonal bounty. Order the scallion milk bread. It practically melts in your mouth, especially when slathered with honey butter. Silken tofu with maitake mushrooms, cranberry beans, garlic confit and green Sichuan peppercorns is yet another winner, but it's the signature Peking duck, served with the classic trimmings as well as a bowl of decadent whipped duck liver mousse, that is nonnegotiable.
The stylish bar area up front supplies memorable cocktails (as does the upstairs Moongate Lounge).
