Good jook (rice congee) joint in SF?

congee, or porridge) of his Beatnik days. He remembers it being served with
fried green onion pancakes.
Am trying to find a good jook restaurant in San Francisco so I can take him
there. But, given the state of his health and his lack of mobility, I also may
just have to get carry-out and bring it to him.
Suggestions, anyone?

New Sun Hong Kong Restaurant at Columbus and Broadway--particularly fine!
Taiwan Restaurant at Clement St and Sixth Avenue
Both will give you the full Chinese "breakfast" fixings--green onion
pancakes, long fried bread, soy bean milk, etc.

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.

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.

Might be okay in Nebraska but there's no reason to settle for such
mediocre food in SF.

I generally like dives, but this one has a particularly dirty and
tired interior, to the point that I found it unpleasant. The food
is fine though.

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!

someone else's recommendation...
Has anyone mentioned Hing Lung at Stockton/Broadway? The liver jook
is wonderful. I usually hate liver but I'll make an exception here.
There is another Hing Lung on 19th Ave near Golden Gate park but the
jook is not as good.
I remember a few years back someone mentioning that Hing Lung
purchased a jook making machine for $50K from Hong Kong. Whatever
they payed, it is well worth it.

Are you thinking of the same place? The New Sun Hong Kong is not a dive in
any sense of the word.
