So Restaurant is back -- Chicken Wings, Potstickers! -- on Bryant St. now -- anyone been there?
According to http://www.urbanstomach.com , So Restaurant (or was it Cafe) has reopened in SOMA at 1010 Bryant St. (b/t 8th and 9th St.) This was the restaurant run by the son of the owner of San Tung. The Urban Stomach blog rates their wings number 1 in SF. I can't wait to give them a try. Has anyone been here, yet?

We tried 3 noodle dishes, a fried rice dish and their dry fried chicken. I loved the chewiness of their noodles, and my favorite was their SO black bean sauce noodles. I also liked their dry fried chicken better than San Tung's, it seemed a tad spicier and less sweet. The fried rice was fine, but the noodles and chicken are what I'd order again.

I would add that the fried fish appetizer was wonderful, too. Crispy, even with the spicy sweet garlicky sauce enveloping the fish.
I also loved the hot sausage fried rice. It was an endless portion, and it seemed like the leftovers I took home were as much as I ordered.
Ma po tofu with beef was comforting and well seasoned, especially delicious with the homemade noodles. -

We also tried the fried chicken wings and 2 noodle dishes. The wings were delicious - crispy, spicy and not too sweet. I haven't been to San Tung's, so I can't compare. I ordered the SO black bean sauce noodles and my husband ordered the peanut butter noodles. The peanut noodles were good, but the black bean noodles were much better - the flavors were more complex and spicier.
I had heard that the restaurant often has a line. We went on a Saturday about 2:00 p.m. and fewer than half of the tables were occupied. This was a couple of months ago.
