Sam Woo-breakfasts

Well, you are here, reading mmm-yoso!!!, a food blog.  Here's another post by Cathy, who is writing while Kirk and His Missus are busy and not writing. 

In the hallway of the 'original' (to San Diego) 99 Ranch location, is Sam Woo BBQ.  We try to eat a meal before grocery shopping (anywhere) and 99 Ranch is a regular stop.  The last time I wrote about breakfasts here was one year ago, so here's an update. 

 The menu is the same and the price of each item has increased by $1, to $8.50.
 Coffee (accompanied by sweetened condensed milk) remains at 70¢,
 as does the hot tea.

 This is #3, Fried Noodles with Bean Sprouts and Soy Sauce; always satisfying having a crunch for breakfast.  #1 and #2 are also noodle dishes.
 #31, all the way at the bottom of the menu, Fried Rice w/ Lunch Meat, is the only rice offered at breakfast and has a wonderful, smokey 'wok hei' flavor along with the "Spam", egg and peas and carrots.  Sometimes we will order it just to we can take home for lunch. 
 #10, Shrimp Dumpling Noodle Soup, is quite satisfying.  The dumplings are quite large, with pork and shrimp and the bok choy and egg noodles are satisfying to round out the meal.
 #8, Fish Filet Porridge, is almost always ordered just because it's a comfort-breakfast food. 
 You can order a Chinese Donut ($2), which is made fresh (used to have to run across the hallway to buy one at the 99Ranch steam trays ) and it is freshly fried. 
 Tearing the crisp, airy donut into the porridge brings up the comfort food factor. 

 #23, Roast Duck Lo Mein, is a great savory item.  The herby and savory 'soup' is just perfect for dipping both the duck and the noodles.   
 #24, BBQ Pork Lo Mein, is also a good choice on some days.  It all depends on what you are craving.  

Sam Woo BBQ 7330 Clairmont Mesa Blvd San Diego 92111 (858) 505-9888 open daily 9-9
 The hot food display window is filled in the morning.  The steam tray choices next to it are 'To-Go' or you can eat at one of the two tables in front of the display.

Soo was here in 2020 and had nice meals.

The won ton soup is a favorite of mine. The roast duck noodle soup is good too: https://www.hungryones.com/2020/04/sam-woo-2/

Everything on the breakfast menu is great, Soo. On one of the cold, rainy days, we did only order soup and porridge but try to only have one or the other and then order a noodle dish.

We really enjoy fish porridge, Kat.

It's so consistent for breakfast, (other than the price), ST; I think that is part of the 'comfort' factor.
