UNITED STATES — 2026 Individual Honours

Four awards honour three individuals and a team whose work speaks to the craft, leadership and continuing evolution of Chinese dining in America.

PREMIER VISIONARY AWARD — Brandon Jew
From the heart of San Francisco’s Chinatown, Brandon Jew has helped open a new conversation around Chinese-American cooking. As chef and owner of Mister Jiu’s, he brings together Chinese culinary traditions, his own heritage and the ingredients of Northern California — creating a restaurant that looks forward while remaining deeply connected to place. @brandoj

RISING STAR CHEF OF THE YEAR — Eric Sze
Born and raised in Taiwan, Eric Sze represents an exciting new generation of Taiwanese cooking in New York. Through Wenwen, his food is personal, energetic and unmistakably his own — drawing from the flavours and memories of Taiwan while speaking naturally to contemporary New York. @esze.e

DIM SUM CHEF OF THE YEAR — HK Lounge Bistro Dim Sum Team
An award for the hands behind the craft. At HK Lounge Bistro in San Francisco, the dim sum team carries forward a discipline built on precision, freshness and consistency. Every basket is the work of a team — and a reminder of the skill behind one of Chinese cuisine’s most enduring traditions. @hkloungebistro

MASTER CHEF OF THE YEAR — Yuezhong Ge
Shanghai-born Chef Yuezhong Ge brings decades of experience and a deep foundation in Huaiyang cooking to Fu Hui Hua in San Francisco. Working alongside his son Tao William Ge, his cooking connects generations — grounded in technique, restraint and a lifetime devoted to the craft. @fuhuihua.us

Growing up in the Bay Area, chef Brandon Jew (@brandoj) found community and history at his neighborhood Chinese-American restaurants. Now, his own restaurant, Mister Jiu’s (@misterjius), carries that culinary lineage into the
next generation.

During On Set with Chef’s Table in June, Jew and Chef’s Table creator David Gelb (@thisisdavidgelb) reflected on the communal traditions of Chinese dining, growing up in the Bay Area, and how 10 years at Mister Jiu’s have allowed him to
contribute to the legacy of San Francisco’s Chinatown.

Nine consecutive years of a Michelin star. ⭐

At Mister Jiu's in San Francisco's Chinatown, Brandon Jew blends Bay Area produce with classic Chinese techniques — earning the 2022 James Beard Award for Best Chef California and a Bon Appétit Hot 10 nod. His cookbook Mister Jiu's in Chinatown won a 2022 James Beard Media Award. He also runs Moongate Lounge and Mamahuhu, and cites his grandma Ying Ying as one of his most influential mentors.

Brandon Jew is joining us at the inaugural Chef's Table Festival presented by @americanexpress and @resy, August 13–16 in Park City.

Salty Magazine and Chef Mayank Istwal of one Michelin-starred Musaafer in Houston, Texas and Musaafer NYC will welcome guest chef Brandon Jew of one Michelin-starred Mister Jiu’s in San Francisco for a special one-night dinner event on Tuesday, August 25th at Musaafer NYC. Two chefs, two schools of thought and two cuisines with an untold story going back to the 1800’s when the first immigrants from China landed in the trading port of Kolkata formerly known as Calcutta. By the 1950’s Chinese flavors and cooking style were woven into the rich tapestry of Indian food culture. A fusion of the two cuisines in the 1970’s led to its introduction to the masses. This one-off tasting experience will trace this story into the present time in a dialogue between cuisines and creativity. Reservations for this unmissable experience, priced at $295 (exclusive of tax and service) with an optional wine pairing, are available on OpenTable and at the link in our bio. taken in Musaafer NYC by @brandoj

It’s been a week since being in Ojai, and I think I can speak for everyone when I say we’re all still having withdrawals. 🥹 Summer House was an absolute blast, and I hope 🤞🏼 we can do it all over again. ❤️❤️❤️

An early peek at this season’s edition of SUMMER HOUSE with Mei Lin & Friends - our exclusive culinary collaboration hosted at the breathtaking backdrop of a private estate at Ojai Valley Inn. This limited-time residency brings together celebrated chefs Mei Lin, Brandon Jew, Brady Ishiwata Williams and Nini Nguyen, along with wines curated by Sarah Thomas. The first two nights have been a celebration of hyper-local, seasonal ingredients, open-fire cooking, and the refined simplicity that evokes the vibes of a summer dinner party.

This sold out series concludes on Saturday evening, and we look forward to welcoming the lucky guests joining us for the final nights of service. 📸 @troxphotos taken in Ojai, California by @brandoj

We’ve been crazy excited about announcing this one. Chef @brandoj of @misterjius will be joining Chef @nickwong here in Houston, at @agnesandsherman on Sunday, 7/26, for a collaboration dinner that’s been in the making, straight from our hearts and bellies! The night will include a 5-course seated dinner with an optional wine pairing add-on. Join us for an evening featuring some of @misterjius’ favorites and special dishes with Texas flair.

Chef @brandoj is an expert at blending the local, seasonal, and organic bounty of the Bay Area with classic Chinese techniques and flavors for his restaurant in San Francisco. His dedication to evolving and defining Chinese-American cuisine in the Bay Area, and advocating for Chinese food’s global recognition, has earned him top honors.

The evening doesn’t end after dinner—join us at @hoteldaphne’s Bar Daphne where cocktails are flowing and a live DJ sets the vibe. You can mix and mingle with Chefs @brandoj and @nickwong as the night continues.

Our Commitment:

As our ongoing investment in our community and the next generation of chefs, we will be reserving four complimentary seats for culinary students of HISD.

The dinner will also feature a cocktail special with proceeds going towards @ccchouston, whose mission is to bridge East and West by enriching families with educational, cultural, and social service programs.
