San Francisco, CA
Good jook (rice congee) joint in SF?
Has anybody tried the food here? Loopy L. wrote: > There is also the Longlife Noodle Co. & Jook Joint on Steuart Street between > Howard and Mission. They don't open until 11:30, which may not equate > breakfast for you unless you wake up at the crack of noon like myself.

I want to be able to like the place, but can't. Have eaten there twice; the service was OK, and the food was decent, but nothing spectacular. I doubt I'll go back. Nancy
Isn't Longlife intentionally designed to introduce "white" people to the pleasures of the simple Chinese noodle bowl and congee? I haven't been there myself but relatives report the food is OK but expensive compared to what is served in Chinese restaurants without the cross-over intentions.

>Someone wrote: >>New Sun Hong Kong Restaurant at Columbus and Broadway--particularly fine! On G. Tong's advice, we tried New Sun Hong Kong yesterday for carryong jook, and found the results to be spectacular. Particularly liked the pork with thousand-year egg jook -- for under $4, as I recall. No green onion pancakes, unfortunately, but excellent long bread. Many thanks for the recommendation!
