Best hot and sour soup in the city?

Does anyone have any suggestions for really good hot and sour soup in the city? Probably my favorite as of now is Pot Stickers in Chinatown. But I'd love to hear suggestions. The more spicy and sour the better.

    This is not for the cit but Try "Little Shin Shin" in Oakland/Piedmont (just about 20 mins from SF)

      Probably not what you're thinking of, but the Hot and Sour soup at Spicy Bite - and Indian Restaurant - is killer. We almost always order it when we order there. If you ask for it hot, it will not disappoint.

        The hot and sour soup at Hong's Szechuan in the Outer Sunset has a nice mild balance of hot and sour. Also good are green onion pancakes, water dumplings, pot stickers.
        Lunch Specials are a value: 11 am to 3 pm for $4.95-$5.50

        Since you're searching for mind tingling spicy - you might try Mission Chinese - although I haven't seen hot and sour soup on its menu - there is a Tingling Lamb Noodle soup with bok choy - or go to Spices II:
