It’s classic: Come Christmas Day, many throughout the United States work through mountains of gorgeous, rich Chinese food. Those in San Francisco find themselves in a proper embarrassment of riches when it comes to where they ought to place their orders, though. ⁠ ⁠ Is it better to opt for something a bit newer, a restaurant like Mister Jiu’s that pays homage to those hanging ducks in so many Chinatown storefront windows?
