The story
Mister Jiu's occupies 28 Waverly Place, deep in the heart of San Francisco's Chinatown — one of the oldest and most storied in the country. The restaurant brings a distinctly Chinese-American sensibility to the table, drawing on the layered culinary traditions of the neighborhood while reaching forward rather than backward.
Wine Spectator's Award of Excellence, earned for 2025, speaks to a list that takes the dining room seriously. Pairing wine thoughtfully with Chinese-American cuisine is its own discipline, and the recognition signals a kitchen and front-of-house working in genuine concert.
The room itself carries the weight of its address — a historic Chinatown building that lends the experience a quiet gravity. Mister Jiu's is a dinner destination, the kind of place suited to an unhurried evening in one of San Francisco's most atmospheric quarters.
