4 chinese places in San Francisco we have eaten in, sorted by editor score. All cuisines in San Francisco | Chinese across every city.
San Francisco's broader Chinese dining stretches from Chinatown's historic blocks to the avenues of the Sunset. Mister Jiu's on Waverly Place in Chinatown reframes Chinese cooking through a Californian lens, while Z & Y Bistro on Jackson Street keeps the regional spice tradition close by. San Tung in the Inner Sunset is the destination for dry-fried chicken wings.
Mister Jiu's in San Francisco is Brandon Jew's Cal-Chinese flagship in old Chinatown, holding a Michelin star and a separate cocktail bar worth a visit alone.
OrderThe whole roast Mongolian duck with house pancakes, ordered ahead.
TipSit in the upstairs bar Moongate Lounge and order from the full menu without committing to the tasting.
The Peking duck spinoff of Chinatown's Z & Y at 606 Jackson Street, with a 48-hour duck carved at the table and Beijing-style dim sum to go with it.
OrderHalf Peking duck carved at the table, with the duck bone and Napa cabbage soup.
TipOnly about 30 ducks go out a day, so reserve your duck when you book; closed Wednesdays.
Mister Jiu's in San Francisco is Brandon Jew's one-Michelin-star Cal-Chinese flagship in Chinatown, with whole-duck dinners and an upstairs cocktail room.
TipBook the whole roast duck 48 hours ahead by phone; it does not appear on the website ordering form.
San Tung in San Francisco is the Inner Sunset Northern Chinese room famous for dry-fried chicken wings glazed in a sweet soy and garlic sauce; pure cult.
TipDry-fried chicken wings are the order, hands-down; nothing else on the menu hits as hard.
