Since their San Bruno location opens at 11am, my guess is that the jook chef didn’t show up early enough to have the dish ready for opening. Or the restaurant doesn’t want to pay for the chef to show up hours ahead to get the prep done.
Yeah, as sck noted, the San Bruno one opens at 11. Funny thing when I went early (10:45), they sat everyone down but you really couldn’t order anything since the chefs weren’t going to be cooking until 11. The only place I really go to have morning (around 8 am) congee is at Ming Tai in outer sunset.
