    Open rafters, pale pink tiles, and bright teal accents set the tone at this casual Chinese spot on Clement Street, where Brandon Jew runs a room that looks like it was designed on purpose, because it was. The sweet-and-sour chicken, rice-battered and stuffed into a homemade pineapple bun, is the kind of thing people come back for. Housemade sodas round out a menu that treats the nonalcoholic drinks as a feature rather than an afterthought.

    The dishes from the writeups

    • Sweet-and-sour chicken

      “Jew’s sweet-and-sour chicken is a house specialty, and for good reason: You just can’t go wrong with crispy rice-battered, free-range chicken, pineapple, honey, and hawthorn.”

    • Mushroom mapo tofu

      “Other highlights include the mushroom mapo tofu with shiitake and fermented chili, and one of the banana oat milk soft serve options like the not-too-sweet cherry red bean sundae for dessert.”

      Condé Nast Traveler
    • Jasmine tea soda

      “Case in point: Their list of homemade sodas, which includes the popular Jasmine Tea Soda, a lightly sweet and floral tea topped with a dash of sparkling water.”

Eat Score

The score comes from the awards it's won, weighted by who gave them: a Michelin star outweighs a listicle. When you sort by what's nearby, distance changes the order, never the score.

      Stay Score

      Four fifths of the score is the awards it's won, weighted by who gave them: a Michelin Key outweighs a listicle. The last fifth is where it is: the ranked places to eat and things to do around it, and how safe the country is. When you sort by what's nearby, distance from you changes the order, never the score.

          Best Place Score

          The Best Place Score rates the area around a point, not any one place. The places are 60% of it: the best of what's within reach, weighed by distance. The setting is the other 40%: how life goes in that country (how people rate their own lives, how long and how well they live, how safe they are) and what it's like right there (the air, and the weather). If the score looks low, we probably haven't found enough critics out here yet.
