Hot & Sour Soup in the San Jose area?

[tshuma]

I've got the mother of all classic nasty colds, starting with the traditional sore throat with implications of more to come, followed by congestion, sinus headaches, coughing, etc. I desperately want a good hot & sour soup in the Chinese Restaurant sense, and I've never yet found a restaurant that could scratch that itch since I've moved to the Bay Area. (I don't go to many Chinese restaurants, and when I do, I've always been varyingly disappointed by the hot and sour soups.)

I WANTS it, I does. Thus, I appeal to friend internets. Where in the San Jose area (including Campbell and even Santa Clara....Sunnyvale if that's the only one you know) can I get a good hot and sour soup? One with a decent pinch of white pepper and a decent glug of vinegar?

I must summon hot and sour soup. I must.

I don't know any Chinese restaurants in the South Bay, so I can't be of help unless you want to drive up to Oakland (Hunan Village on Grand, just down from the Grand Lake Theatre, get the vegetarian H&S soup). It might be easier for people to recommend restaurants if you can describe how you've been disappointed by other hot&sour soups.
