"I was contracted to work on the site being developed across the street from Bayview Plaza, and during lunch, I needed two of two things: Food for my belly A bathroom for my smelly My choices were Soo Fong, Subway, or the HR Block at Bayview Plaza. Like the movie Yojimbo, I threw a stick into the air, planning to walk in the direction that it was pointing towards. Soo Fong was my fate, and if I could, I 'd give that stick a promotion. Lemme tell you about this Soo Fong. I walked in and was allowed to sit anywhere I so desired. I felt like Mufasa every where the light touched was part of my kingdom. I sat myself down, and immediately someone I deigned to be the dai lo of the restaurant started asking me about my haircutting habits: You shave your head? Yes. Man, you use razor? Yes. Every day? Yes. Ahhhhhhhh. You are crazy. You braver than me. I do the buzz. Razor? You are brave. Let me tell you, nothing makes you feel yourself more than having your pick of a seat, and then someone commending your bravery for shaving your head every morning. My middle name must be Everest, because I 'm the top of the world right now. Normally, my first order at a Chinese place would be scrambled egg and beef over rice, but with my ego riding high, I was feeling a little spicy. The waitress who took my order was wearing a Street Fighter 2 Dhalsim shirt, so I took this as the code that I needed some of that yoga fire. I ordered some of the Mongolian Beef over rice, but make that rice fried. PERFECT. The beef was tender, the beef was spicy. There was a decent amount of vegetables, but not too much (the way a lot of restaurants try to fill Mongolian Beef orders). The spice went from quarter circle jab to half circle fierce, because it went from yoga fire to yoga flame, but it was worth it. The Soo Fong website (soofongtogo.com) says Best food, good food, but I think they 're wrong there. Best food, best food. 10/10, would Soo Fong again."

"The service is typical of a busy Chinese restaurant—especially in the mornings—so be prepared to flag down your server if you need anything. They recently remodeled, so the restaurant looks much neater now. **Location and Parking:** The restaurant is located at the intersection of South St. and Alburtis Ave., in the same shopping plaza as Café 86, Pepper Lunch, Fresh Catch Seafood Market, BoPoMoFo Café, Mian, Garlic and Chives, and several other popular spots. The parking lot is shared with these establishments, so if you’re going for breakfast, try to arrive early to avoid hassle, as certain items can run out quickly. **Food Recommendations:** #104 Salted Soybean Milk - If you prefer something savory, I highly recommend this option. Add a splash of vinegar to curdle the soymilk, along with your favorite sauces and seasonings, then mix in some chopped crullers for a delightful dish that never disappoints. #105 Sweet Rice Milk with Peanuts - A great alternative for those who enjoy something sweet but want to try something different from traditional sweet soymilk. It has a lovely nutty flavor. #106 Twisted Cruller - These tend to sell out quickly, especially if my brother is there ordering extra for himself! Their crullers are fluffy and fresh, unlike other places where they can be overly fried. Be sure to arrive early to secure these. #113 Salted Rice Roll - Another family favorite! It comes halved, so I suggest sharing or saving some for later. They also offer a version with an egg, which I haven’t tried yet. #121 Pork Gua Bao - Pork belly in a bao? Count me in! They include peanut powder and pickled vegetables, but you can request to omit those if you’re not a fan. #203 Deep Fried Stinky Tofu - You either love it or hate it! I grew up eating stinky tofu, so I'm always excited to have it here. It's not as good as what you find in Taiwan, but I appreciate it nonetheless. It goes well with pickled radish, which acts as a nice palate cleanser. #204 Intestine with Garlic Sauce - This was my first time trying this dish, and I was pleasantly surprised by the generous portion of intestines. It was truly addictive. #207 Meat Rolls with Onion - Despite the name translating to "Chicken Roll" in Chinese, there’s no chicken in the mix. It’s a blend of tofu skin, fish paste, carrots, and other ingredients that mimic chicken. Traditionally, this dish was created to avoid waste and didn’t need refrigeration. Not many places serve an authentic version, but this one was crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside—definitely recommend! #308 Pot Stickers - These are freshly made, though they aren’t particularly special. #309 Pan Fried Bao - I liked the bao dough, but I was disappointed that it was somewhat underwhelming."
