Perfect atmosphere. Portions were just what I was looking for. Yummy and service was awesome.

Wanted to avoid the ritual of going to North Beach and get Italian and getting a pastry somewhere. Decided on China Town went to Yelp to find a place and here we are. Ambiance Very modern restaurant very clean. Customer Service Host asked us if we had reservation and we did not, we were seated shortly, thank u. We had a male server but got switched halfway thru service. He was very polite and suggested garlic chicken or salt and pepper fish, he was right. Salt and Pepper Fish Did not look like much however this fish was breaded and cooked perfectly. Fish was moist and so much flavor. 606 House Fried My wife loved it. I liked it alot. Will return to try the garlic chicken next time. read more

Mid at best. Ordered the wonton noodle with beef, pea sprouts, chicken fried rice and simons garlic chicken Wonton noodle soup + beef (extra 4 dollars) -The beef isn't even real beef its ultra processed cheap meat. See picture. Id rather eat Go to won ton noodle house if you want actual beef. Pea sprouts - decent nothing wrong here. Nicely sauted. Simons garlic chicken. Awful more breading then actual meat and then deep fried dunked in sauce. Chicken fried rice- ok but not even worth taking a picture of. This is not 4.6 . I don't want to bash because I know restaurant business is hard but I want to be honest that the food is just not that good compared to other places in Chinatown. read more

606 - "beef" in the wonton noodle soup...I guess - Hong Kong Style Cafe Near Me - San Francisco, California

This place was such a great find! The food tasted really authentic and delicious. I got the Mongolian beef, which was absolutely delicious. It had a bit more of a kick than I usually go for, but if you like spicy food, you'll probably love it. I also highly recommend the shu Mai, it was the best I've ever had! We also ordered the Hong Kong crispy noodles, and they were hands-down my favorite. They're surprisingly hard to find, and these were so crispy, fresh, and delicious. The milk tea was another highlight--it even came with a frozen milk tea ice cube, which kept it cold without watering it down. I left really happy with the meal and would absolutely come back. 10/10! read more

I had my eyes set on some other places in Chinatown but had to compromise as some in our party were not big into authentic Chinese food. To my surprise, the food here was surprisingly really good. I had the sui mai, har gow, and some of my son's XLB soup dumpling. I know this sounds weird, but the highlight was the chili oil. Probably the best I've ever had. Besides the food, the service was excellent as well. Something you don't normally find in Chinese restaurants. Definitely check this place out if you are in a hurry and don't want to wait long for a table. read more

I'm not one to choose American Chinese food but yes to Hong Kong /cantonese cuisine. We had mostly vegetarian dishes for our friend. I really enjoyed the quality of the food here. The 19$ fried tofu with string beans was crunchy on the outside and soft & airy on the inside; it was addictive. The 19$ signature chow mein was not oily and the vegetables are fresh. The 10$ veg potstickers were perfect. The 7$ Hong Kong milk tea had a whole ice cube made of the milk tea, I do think it needs a bit more condensed milk as it lacked that sweetness. Everything was great as we were seated next to a window and it was just great weather outside. The servers and owner checked up on us, making sure everything's good. I do wish to try the Hong Kong dishes next time :) read more

We had a pleasant experience here the other night. The service was very good. The ambiance was very nice. I liked the set up of the dining room and the chairs overall it was 3.5 stars but im being nice& rounding up. The food was not bad at all, in fact we both thought it was decent but nothing about it stood out in anyway to me personally. It was lacking depth of flavor so I aksed for soy sauce and chili oil which they did bring out. Every dish was good but the food was not coursed, cramming all 4 dishes on the table at once. The chowmein was bland and noodle to veg ratio was off.Good but nothing spectacular. read more

606 - Hong Kong Style Cafe Near Me - San Francisco, California

This is my favorite Chinese restaurant in SF, located on Broadway at the intersection of Chinatown and North Beach. If you're a longtime SF resident, 606 is ran by the sons of the owners of the legendary New Sun Hong Kong. We love coming here for dim sum, lunch and dinner - even my parents love this place! Here are my favorite dishes: 1. Crispy Noodles Hong Kong style with combo BBQ pork, seafood and chicken 2. Sweet & sour pork ribs 3. Honey walnut prawns The food hits the spot, the service is amazing and the location is perfect for a post meal gelato (try Lush Gelato just up the street) and/or night cap (I love going to Comstock Saloon) 606 is such a gem and definitely gets 5 s for SAFAV: Service Ambiance Food Alcohol Value for Money read more

My friend said people raving about their milk tea. Being a milk tea enthusiast, I had to try it. Verdict? It's legit!!! To truly taste of if a milk tea is good, you have to taste the hot one and it's not as hot as I hope for, butt the smell and flavor is there. Beef chow fun - For authentic HK style cuisine, sweet and sour pork and beef chow fun is the standard test. Verdict? I liked it! It's got wok air (鑊氣), flavor is good and the One thing I like is the chow fun is not oily. That's skill and a big plus. Their hot sauce goes really well with the chow fun. Personally, I preferred the onion to be well done so it emits the sweetness into the chow fun and the beef. Simon's garlic chicken - Not what I expected. The garlic sauce is not the common 魚香醬, pretty good actually. What I liked about it is the crispiness of the chicken with the light batter. Sauce not too overwhelming. Now I'm curious what the sesame chicken is like. It's too bad this is not located in the south bay like Los Altos, Cupertino, Sunnyvale. Would have been a big hit. It's slightly out of place with China Town crowd. read more

Iconic Hong Kong Style cafe located in SF's Chinatown- 606 delivered on bold flavor, service and fresh Cantonese food. The vibe of the restaurant is relatively upscale- with an extremely professional staff. I got the pork dumplings and the sesame chicken. Wow- every note was electrically flavorful! The pork dumplings were tender, comforting and savory. The chicken itself was garlicky, crispy and warm with the white rice complimenting the entree well. I can see why 606 is a classic, fun vibe with authentic food. read more

606 had been on the list for quite a while given the great story of generational business ownership in SF Chinatown, and also because the food simply looked delicious. I joined with a group of friends and we tried many things on the menu. The highlights included the fried chicken and honey walnut prawns. The service was also so, so friendly and attentive - it was around lunar new year and everyone was great even though they were so busy. Would definitely return. read more

We had a large party with family members visiting the city and finding a place in Chinatown that could accommodate all of us was not an easy task, but 606 came to our rescue. I was a little apprehensive going in since I had never tried it, but our guests were thoroughly impressed. They gave us the largest table in the restaurant, which was well spaced and ventilated with a really nice ambience. Our whole table ordered so many dishes I couldn't keep track of them all, but my favorites were the Mongolian beef and the fried rice, with the kung pao chicken a close second. The other family members really enjoyed their meals too. Our server was really attentive and took good care of our accommodations, especially with a bunch of kids in the group. Would happily come back next time we have a big group to feed. read more

We dropped in and had no reservations but they squeezed us in quickly and were so kind. Small restaurant but not tiny and it was clean, modern and cozy. Comfortable chairs! We ordered an array of appetizers like onion pancakes, sesame balls, pork pot stickers, bbq pork buns and siu mai, plus dry fry beef ho fun noodles, and garlic chicken and a side of rice. The onion pancakes, sesame balls and bbq pork buns were so good on the apps side. And we all loved the crispy sweet garlic chicken and the savory beef ho fun. 10/10 would recommend and would visit again to try other dishes. We also tried the HK milk tea and they were special. Strong and delicious with a frozen cube of milk tea in the middle so it stayed strong and flavorful til the last sip. read more

There is a reason this place has the ratings/reviews that it does and that is because 606 is phenomenal. I have dined at a number of Chinese restaurants in San Francisco area over the years and every one I have been to is your standard cookie cutter of catered to tourists. The other thing I look for is cleanliness and a crowd. Literally every spot I looked at was empty or had minimal diners or was dingy. I walked into 606 and the spot was busy, clean and packed with diners and being nosey I looked over at some of the dishes people were eating and they looked amazing. Shrimp overload was on the menu today so I went in for shrimp dumplings (sublime!) and General shrimp whose flavors were spot on perfect. All in all both dishes were amazing and I ordered a second set of dumplings so I wouldn't regret leaving San Francisco without another round The two servers who attended to me were awesome and embodied hospitality. The young Tunisian man and I had something in common in that we both hail from the airline world and he had visited my home country! 606 you've become my go to spot on my downtown layover! Stay away from the Wharf and tourists! Come to 606 and have some fun quality food! read more

I discovered 606 through Yelp, as it's one of the top places to eat in SF, and I was really intrigued to stop by after learning more about the restaurant's story. 606 is family owned, and it's the new generation's take on Hong Kong style Chinese cuisine. I had an 11am reservation, and I noticed people lining up at the door before they even opened on a weekday! After settling in, my partner and I both ordered Son of Hong Kong Milk Teas, lunch plates, and the lunch special BBQ pork bun off the dim sum menu. The Hong Kong milk teas took a while to arrive, but they were well worth it! My partner got his iced, but I preferred the hot version that I ordered. The BBQ pork buns were a delicious starter, too! For our lunch plates, I ordered the broccoli beef, but wish I ordered Simon's Garlic Chicken. One bite of my partner's made me realize why it's so popular. 606 offers generous portions and great home styling cooking in a clean, modern space! read more

606 does not need to advertise. The food does that for itself. I stumbled in on a weekday and almost did not leave. The spare pork ribs were the kind of dish that makes you stop mid bite and just sit with it for a second. Perfectly braised, fall off the bone tender, with a depth of flavor that tells you someone back there actually knows what they are doing. The rice was simple and exactly right. The noodle dish had that satisfying pull and a sauce that lingered in the best way. The vegetables were not an afterthought, fresh, well seasoned, and cooked with care. The chicken rounded everything out, clean flavor, good texture, nothing overdone. This is the kind of neighborhood restaurant that Chinatown is built on. No frills, no performance, just honest cooking that has clearly been refined over time. The kind of place that regulars quietly protect because they do not want it to get too crowded. Too late for me. I am already planning my return. read more

After walking around Chinatown, I recommended to my friend to grab a bite here, because last time I came, it was newly opened and renovated with limited items. She immediately loved the brightly lit clean space. We ordered pot stickers, Bok Choy, and bbq pork fried rice.

Went to 606 the Monday before Christmas because my girlfriend's family was visiting and we wanted to take them out to North Beach/Chinatown area to explore some bites. Since we were a big group of 11, we wanted to make a reservation in advance, and 606 had one available for our size group. Long story short, this spot was a hit with the family. They don't get to eat a lot of traditional Chinese food dishes in their hometown. We went with classics like siu mai, har gow, walnut prawns, hot and sour soup, broccoli beef, and XLBs, just to name a few. The standouts for me easily was the walnut shrimp, probably the best I've ever had and would come back for this dish alone. It was perfect bite and mouthfeel. Highly recommend ordering that. The rest of the food was pretty good. The one I didn't like was XLBs though, not a ton of soup inside and honestly whenever I see it come in those aluminum tins, I already have low expectations, because they are never as good. Everything else was great though. I think another thing that elevated the experience was the amazing customer service. Since the fam didn't know what to order they were super patient with us and the owner Eugene made it a point to interact and engage with my family. Eugene spoke a little bit of Spanish, and my gf dad only really speaks Spanish, so it meant a lot to him that Eugene communicated with him in Spanish. It's those little yet meaningful gestures that truly go a long way! read more

The first time I ate here was back in June 2024, and I thought everything was quite good! I came back again recently, and everything was still as tasty as I remembered. FOOD // Thoughts from our most recent meal: + BBQ Pork fried rice: this had a really nice wok hei aroma, even though it didn't look charred - the chef has skills! We practically inhaled this. + Salt & Pepper Fried Tofu and String Beans: the tofu were perfectly fried, with a delicate crispy exterior and a soft interior. We did wish there were more string beans in the dish, since it was listed under the Vegetables section, but it was mostly tofu. + Salt & Pepper Fish: crispy exterior coating, with moist and tender fish inside. I've had salt and pepper fish at a lot of Chinese restaurants; 606's version feels like a healthier, elevated version, with an even coating of batter (not overly thick) and not excessively salty as some places can be. The peppers that came with it were not spicy at all (and I say that as someone who orders mild or no spice at restaurants). + Dry fried chicken wings (sweet & spicy): the sauce is sweet with a tiny hint of spice. The meat inside was juicy. + Simon's Garlic Chicken: this seemed like a similar coating and sweet-savory flavor as the dry fried chicken wings, but with boneless pieces of chicken instead. This went really well with rice! + HK milk tea: a well-balanced cup of HK milk tea, with an aromatic, rich black tea flavor that's tempered by the sweetness of the condensed milk. Other dishes we've tried in the past and enjoyed: + Dry Fry Beef Hor Fun + Fried Tofu with Chopped Shrimp + Dry Fried String Beans, Salt & Pepper Fish + Pork & Cabbage Potstickers + Singapore style curry stir fried vermicelli noodles SERVICE + AMBIANCE // + Service was great. The staff were friendly and felt very genuine when they were checking up on us to ask how the food was and if we needed anything else. + Even though the restaurant was completely full, our food came out pretty quickly. + Convenient location on Columbus, with large windows on two sides for people-watching while waiting for your food. ~ The restaurant was a bit cold; it was cold outside too, but it didn't seem like the heat was on indoors. I kept my puffy on, which was fine, but I do wish it had been a bit warmer inside so the food wouldn't get cold as quickly as it did. OVERALL // This is a solid spot for yummy Hong Kong/Chinese food! It's not the cheapest spot in the area, but you're paying for good quality & service too. I'd bring both out-of-towners and my family here. read more

606 is an absolute gem for Cantonese / Hong Kong-style cafe food in SF. From the moment we walked in, the service was friendly and attentive, and the restaurant itself was spacious and comfortable. There were no cramped tables or feeling rushed. The food though... unreal. I have never eaten so fast in my life, and that's how you know it's good. My partner and I ordered five dishes, and every single plate was completely wiped clean and demolished. Here's what we ordered: * Hong Kong milk teas (one hot, one cold) - perfectly strong and balanced * Green onion pancake - crispy * Honey walnut shrimp - sweet, crunchy, and fried to perfection * Fried tofu with string beans - a MUST try, so flavorful and crispy *'Beef chow fun - a classic, you can't really go wrong * XLB (soup dumplings) - bursting with broth and flavor We literally only had three honey walnut shrimps left in the end!!! 606 left us extremely full and satisfied. Everything tasted incredibly authentic and well-seasoned. This is the kind of place where you don't have to question what to order. Just get what sounds good and trust it'll be delicious. Would absolutely go again. Authentic food, great service, and spacious seating. Highly recommend. read more

Went on Thanksgiving day as they were one of the few restaurants that were open and had reservation spots still. I was really impressed with the service and hospitality. We were greeted warmly and they were very attentive (almost too much so; we had someone checking in on us every 10 minutes). I have had my fair share of Chinese food, from hole in the wall to upscale, and 606 did not disappoint overall. I tried the salt and pepper tofu and green beans, salt and pepper fish, and garlic chicken. All were recommended to us by our waiter as being popular items. Nothing stood out as being amazing but overall the food was pretty good. Portion sizes were pretty normal and price points were what you would expect for slightly more elevated Chinese cuisine. Ambiance wise, the restaurant is clean and modern and comfortable. We had a very pleasant experience overall. read more

Came here on a Tuesday afternoon, and they have some deals for the dim sum dishes that are a bit cheaper at that time. I think the xia long baos and shrimp dumplings are quite comparable to other dim sum places around the area especially with the discount during lunch hours. And they were both very juicy and delicious. We also got some milk tea, it was a bit on the stronger side which I like and also love that the ice included in the drink was frozen milk tea as to not dilute the drink. read more

We decided to check out 606 in North beach with some friends and made a reservation before going. The inside of the restaurant was cute and bright with large windows and quite a good amount of seating. I definitely recommend making a reservation however, since it was very packed. When we went we decided to share entrees family style and ordered the Salt & Pepper Fried Tofu and String Beans, the beef chow mein, the Salt & Pepper Fish, and Simon's Garlic Chicken. All of the dishes were good but the standouts were definitely the Salt and Pepper fish and the Salt and pepper fried tofu. The salt and pepper flavoring was spicy and light with most of the flavor coming from the light fry of the fish and tofu making them taste airy and not too oily or heavy. The tofu was perfectly moist inside and the fish similarly was incredibly buttery and tender. read more

Like most folks, I am one of those that likes to try something new, something offers a twist to traditional dishes infused with a non-traditional flavor or ingredients. There are times when going traditional or old school is what you are craving. This restaurant is one of those spots that fills isn't fancy, but offers soulful Chinese dishes that are served fresh and hot and tasty to boot. 606 Broadway sits in the heart of Chinatown and sits amidst many dining destinations that are rustic and popular among locals as wells other spots that have patrons arriving by chartered busses and long lines to enter. It is not difficult to miss as it sits on the corner of heavily traveled streets, but you will not notice soon after you are greeted and dive into some of their food. As mentioned earlier, you will find their dishes with common names and detailed descriptions. On this occasion, my group wanted a sampling of a few things, so we ordered the Salt and Pepper Wings, Hot and Sour Soup, Chow Mein, Shrimp and Bok Choi and Kung Pao Chicken. Everyone of these dishes were spot on with their approach . . .nothing out of the ordinary with a heavy focus on serving size, cooked to order and piping hot. Among the favorites were the juicy, hot and crisping wings, delicious rich soup and the Bok Choi. All were plentiful and would be dishes that I would order again. The others were solid and hit the mark. I have to commend the staff who could not have been more attentive and friendly. This spot received some very good marks by previous patrons and are good reflections of my experience here. Not fancy, but a focus on tasty traditional Chinese food and a place that you will not have you leaving hungry. Give it a try! read more

I'm a huge proponent of the best Chinese food being in the western neighborhoods. But I will have to say that 606 surprised me. It was delicious and their seasoning level was perfect. We got the Snow Pea sprouts, the salt and pepper fish, the fried tofu, and the scallion pancake. It was all delicious, right in the middle of all the hustle and bustle of Chinatown, Broadway, Jackson Square, FiDi, and North Beach. Service was great too! read more

Stopped in for lunch and had a great experience. The HK milk tea alone is worth the trip -- easily one of the best I've had in the Bay Area. Strong, smooth, not too sweet, and served in this cool adorable "Son of Hong Kong" styled cup set with a matching spoon stirrer. We went for Simon's Garlic Chicken, which the owners told us was their after‑school dish growing up. Sweet and sour fried chicken with garlic -- simple, comforting, and honestly, I could absolutely imagine myself inhaling a plate of this after school back in the day. The crispy golden noodles with chicken and vegetables were another hit. It's one of my go‑to HK dishes, and they nailed it. The noodles had that perfect shatter‑crisp texture before soaking up the sauce, and the chicken was noticeably good quality -- tender, not stringy, and actually flavorful on its own. The salt and pepper fish was fresh and lightly battered. But the standout for me was the fried tofu with minced shrimp. Thin crisp exterior, soft and juicy tofu inside -- my favorite dish of the meal. We ended up chatting with Alvin, one of the owners, and he was incredibly warm. He shared the stories behind their dishes and the restaurant, and you can tell how much pride and history is woven into the menu. The staff was just as friendly and helped steer us toward some great lunch picks. I'll definitely be back whenever I'm in the area. This place has heart, flavor, and that little spark of personality that makes a meal stick with you! read more
