SF Chron restaurant critic Michael Bauer, who had previously stated his concern that the food was slipping at the original Mission Chinese Food in the fall of 2012, returns for a re-review, and it’s not good: “Dish after dish missed the mark,” he writes, blaming the declining quality of everything from his beloved tea-smoked eel to the signature salt-cod fried rice — in part, at least — on Danny Bowien’s New York focus, and reducing the restaurant’s three-star rating to 1.5. The New York branch of Mission Chinese Food, in the meantime, remains closed, but Bowien and his partners are reportedly looking for a new space. [SF Chron via Eater, Related]
