Jonathan Kauffman continues his Rice Plate Journal tour of Chinatown today with the recently relocated San Sun (848 Washington Street), which is actually a Chinese-Vietnamese restaurant. He takes a cue from the majority of other diners in the restaurant and orders soup, of which there are many varieties and an endless array of possible combinations for noodles, broth, and various additions. But the thing that really makes this place stand out is the “awesomeness” of its wildly digitized walls. “So many mirrors and digital displays are mounted on the walls that I didn’t know how to photograph the space,” Kauffman writes. “Any picture I took would turn out out looking like the funhouse scene from The Lady of Shanghai or a miniature Times Square.” [SFoodie]
