Mister Jiu's, Brandon Jew's flagship San Francisco restaurant, brings a distinctly Californian point of view to his Chinese American fine dining. We're doing a lot of looking back on the internet lately to 2016, when we were all 10 years younger, and that happens to be the year that Mr. Jiu's opened in San Francisco, after the chef and owner, Brandon Jew, renovated an old former Chinese banquet hall.

It comes with the option of rice or jade noodles (try to get both if you can), as well as a sweet soy sauce and an umami and slightly fruity duck sauce. The steamed Chinese broccoli that accompanies the dish lightens the whole thing, but the star is truly the duck, which arrives glistening with fat. The skin is my favorite part - it tastes luxurious - but the meat is also rich and partners well with plain steamed white rice.
