The food was great, especially Simon's garlic chicken. The only reason I didn't give this place the full 5 stars is because it took over 40 minutes to get my food. To be fair, they were down a person in the kitchen, so hopefully that isn't the standard turnaround. The staff were really friendly and apologetic about the wait. Overall it wouldn't be at the top of my list to return, but I would recommend it to others. read more

Amazing food and amazing service! Love when the chef/owner talks to the table when you visit! The food was delicious and very quick. I was surprised this place wasn't packed. No wait time which was great. Loved the drinks like the iced coffee with a coffee ice cube so you drink isn't watered down and iced tea lemonade. Thank you! read more

Undifferentiated Chinese food. The various assortment of fried proteins with salt and pepper got old. Little balance with veggies. Bland wonton soup. Overpriced. The ambiance and even the menu presentation felt like the old dive-ish restaurant it replaced. Kudos to the revival though. read more

So so good! Walked in and did have to wait for ~25 mins or so. Our servers were lovely, they did keep switching but all were very attentive, talked to us about the most popular dishes, and asked about allergies/food restrictions. I appreciate the flexibility in removing/subbing ingredients to make it vegetarian friendly! We ordered the veg egg rolls, singapore fried rice (no eggs or meat), veg chow mein, simpon's garlic chicken. The veg egg rolls were perfectly crisp and served with a sweet and sour sauce. The chow mein did have a lot of vegetables but was well made. The fried rice was delicious, it was so flavorful and fragrant. But the star of the show was definitely the garlic chicken -- it was sweet, tender, crispy, truly all the good things and I get the hype! I'd come back for the chicken alone. Btw, other dishes that were recommended were the singapore curry noodles and salt and pepper fish! read more

Glad that the restaurant still remains in the hands of the same family! This restaurant used to be the go to in the early mornings after a night of drinking and clubbing on Broadway street back over 15 years ago! The food was very delicious and "clean". Not too greasy. My favorite item had to be the Simon's chicken that was sweet and tangy and touch of crisp. 2nd favorite item had to be the Beef Chow fun. Right amount and balance of beef, chow fun and sauce. I'm really impressed w/ the HK milk tea and think it's a must get here. Reminds me of actually sitting down in a cafe in HK along w/ pineapple bun pastry. Your local Chinese bakery milk tea elevated! Some of you might say, " It's too expensive and I can get that dish better here at this place... or eat " cheaper" here...." I think for the quality of food and details to it, it's worth the price! So next time you are in the area, stop by for some milk tea and some delicious HK Cantonese grub! read more

The food I had delivered to my residence from this restaurant was very good. The egg rolls I had were out of this world delicious. Also the garlic chicken was top notch. I highly recommend this place for their excellent Chinese food. I can see myself ordering out from this place again sometime. I would have loved to give this restaurant 30 stars if that was an option. What are you waiting for? Come on down to that restaurant and have a great meal! read more

Ordered to go on a weeknight through their website, which was a breeze to use! I know a good judge of a Hong Kong style restaurant would be their beef chow fun and it did not disappoint! The beef was tender, the noodles weren't overly greasy, each noodle was coated with the sauce, and it had great wok hei. Definitely will come back to the try their other dishes! read more

Came to SF for the weekend and was looking for a quick bite nearby. So glad we stopped here! I was craving beef ho fun and it hit the spot. We got: - Simon's Garlic Chicken - 10/10, sooo flavorful, garlicky, and tangy. I'd come back just for this. - Beef Ho Fun - 8.5/10, one of the best I've had. - Salt & Pepper Tofu w/ String Beans - 7/10, super crispy and soft inside, just a little salty (I'd ask for light salt next time). The owner Alvin and his family were super welcoming, and service was great. They just reopened and the vibe inside is really nice. Definitely check this place out if you're in Chinatown! read more

The food was good, especially the Simon Garlic Chicken and the Singaporean noodles. However, we ordered the potstickers as vegetarian and they came with pork twice. Be careful if you are a vegetarian. Similarly, we ordered Singaporean noodles with chicken but they came with shrimp. Be careful with what food you order and what you get. read more

Omg so good! I got the general tsos chicken and it was seriously life changing. I don't even know how to describe it! Felt like I was eating a lightly breaded cloud. The service and ambience was fantastic! read more

Delicious Cantonese style. The Simon's Garlic Chick, Salt and Pepper fish was fantastic. The chilli pepper oil paste was definitely tuned way down for Americans to handle, but flavorful nonetheless. The BBQ pork dimsum was delicious with that vinegar sauce. The Egg Yolk bun could have been a little bit more runny. It was a bit too thick. Overall great Father's Day dinner and would highly recommend this place. Great for a quiet window convo date at the entrance into Chinatown. Or a large group of 8. Service was fantastic too. As is the case we ended up ordering another item because everything was so delicious but if you ever order at a Chinese restaurant and you have an addition it will always come later since other customers have priority as they are waiting for their decisions. Our addition came much later and we lost some momentum in the eating but still overall good. Owner was smooth paying us a visit to let us know how we're doing. read more

Stopped by 606 for a quick lunch and was reminded that this location was once home to the New Hong Kong restaurant--a classic HK-style café. Back in the day, it was open late, often until 2-3 AM, and my colleagues and I would come here after long hours in the lab to enjoy a comforting meal and some good times. Now, the interior has been refreshed with a simple, clean design. The lunch menu is fairly limited but covers the essentials. I always judge HK cafés by their beef chow fun, so I ordered it. It was good--not exceptional, but solid. The fried tofu and green beans were also enjoyable, though I wished there had been more green beans. The gentleman server was pleasant, friendly, and very attentive, which added to the experience. I also appreciated how clean the bathroom was--a detail not to be overlooked. 606 boasts a fantastic location at the edge of Chinatown and North Beach, housed in a building with a striking mural that's Instagram-worthy. If you're in the area and looking for a clean, casual spot to enjoy a quick Cantonese meal, 606 is a good choice. read more

You must try this attractive and clean Chinese food restaurant at the corner of Broadway and Columbus. The attentive and friendly service creates a warm atmosphere only matched with the resplendent Chinese cuisine reminiscent of home cooking. There is nothing amiss from this wonderful Cantonese restaurant. We regularly ate here years before the new owners , who are actually related to the former owners, opened with a new name and a fresh new look, but the taste is still comforting and delicious with several new menu additions that we thoroughly enjoyed. Can't wait to return on our next visit. read more

We stopped at 606 upon arriving in San Francisco. Drawn by the good reviews and late night hours. The stark and plain decor is more than made up for by the friendly service and fabulous food. The Hot & Sour soup was tangy and tasted like it was homemade by your favorite aunt. The Bok Choy with garlic looked like flowered jewels, perfectly prepared and so much fun to eat. The BBQ Pork Buns were like little clouds of goodness. Simon's Chicken is a must order. It was tangy and rich with umami. The soup dumplings surprised us with unexpected ginger flavor, and a great presentation nestled in little tin foil beds to catch the broth. The staff was attentive and friendly, and guided us through the extensive menu, offering us candies table-side at the end of the meal. Our family thoroughly enjoyed our meal and it was well worth the uber ride. read more

===TL;DR=== - Stewed beef noodle soup with ho fun - Iced HK milk tea ===TMI=== Simple menu, At a glance, prices were high and dishes seem Americanized. The items on the menu don't give off HK cafe vibes. The HK milk tea was ok. The balance of the evaporated milk and the tea seemed off as it tasted a little bland. Cool concept using a cube ice though. The stewed beef noodle soup was not good. Beef cuts were dry and not that flavorful. The soup was also bland. Went there around 3pm on a Friday and there was no one at the restaurant. Given that, we still had to wait a long time before the food came out. If you want some authentic HK cafe foods, there are many others around the area. Not a fan but hope they continue to improve. The staff and workers there were friendly and attentive at least and their interior looks good. read more

Went here many times this year in Jan. Had to be in SF for work a couple weeks here and there. This place is top notch food. The Simon's garlic chicken is fantastic. Tastes awesome! The fried tofu with chopped shrimp is great! Crispy noodles was also great. I must've have eaten here 5-6 times in my 2 separate trips to SF for work. The second work trip the owners actually recognized me lol, I ate there that many times. Friendly people here and great service. read more

Great food and great service. I went to San Francisco twice in a one month period and this was the only place I wanted to go back to.

This used to be the Hong Kong Restaurant and now is in the hands of the former owner's nephew. I am glad they kept it in the family. I think it is much better in terms of quality and the space even looks more modern. We ordered the hot milk tea and the iced milk tea. I liked the iced milk tea. Not too sweet. Very good quality Chinese food. We wanted to not eat such a heavy lunch so we ordered calamari, veggie egg rolls and chicken wings. I would come here again. The owner was super nice. read more

Have been here multiples times and always have a great time. Always order the salt and pepper fish, cooked beautifully!

The people here are really nice and the location is great. The interior is pretty modern and overall looks pretty clean. Potstickers: 3.5/5. This started out great, but the 3rd potsticker was chewy (it seemed like there was a little cluster of pork fat), which is not what you expect from this dish. The rest of the potstickers rated a 4. Not every dish is perfect and this one missed the mark a little. I doubt this is typical for this place based on other reviews. read more

The restaurant looks super clean and nice, and more on the modern side. Tables are spaced apart nicely so it doesn't get too crowded and the noise level is on the lower end. Servers were nice but you might have to flag them down for water. Singapore noodles 3/5- very average and something you could probably find at any generic chinese restaurant. Could have used more of a kick Kingdo beef 4/5- probably the best dish we tried! Good flavor and great ratio of sauce to beef Salt and pepper tofu 2/5- Soft tofu and fried well but almost no flavor Xiao long bao 3/5- perfectly bite sized and skin stayed together, but average taste and a little dry Overall restaurant was nice but food itself was very average, especially in the Chinatown area read more

606 San Francisco has quickly become one of our favorite spots. We actually found this place before moving here, and now that we live in the area, we've been back several times and it never disappoints. The service is consistently great. Everyone is always so friendly, welcoming, and attentive, which makes the experience feel relaxed and enjoyable every time we visit. It's the kind of place where you feel genuinely taken care of. The food has been solid on every visit well prepared, flavorful, and satisfying. Everything we've tried has been good, making it an easy choice when deciding where to eat. Overall, 606 San Francisco is a place we highly recommend checking out. Great service, good food, and a welcoming atmosphere keep us coming back. A true neighborhood gem worth supporting. read more

Great find while in San Francisco! Awesome family story as well. Each dish we had was incredible.

I finally tired 606 after the name change and renovation. I think it's a great change since the restaurant was getting outdated before. I ordered to go instead this time. I ordered the beef stir fry noodles, beef soup noodles with egg noodles, garlic chicken, salt & pepper chicken wings and Hong Kong style milk tea. The beef stir fry noodles didn't have enough favor (in Chinese we called it wok hey). The garlic chicken sauce were packed separately which is a good touch. But I m not a fan of how the chicken pieces were. It was in thin strips and seemed like we were eating chicken skin. The sauce were great though. We ended up having left over suace, so we made fried tofu and used the sauce the next day. I think beef noodles were the best dish out of our order. Maybe they didn't use MSG since I didn't taste it like other restaurants. Salt & pepper chicken wings were normal. Their hong Kong milk tea were packaged in a plastic bottle. I think the flavor were strong so its great! For me though, I diluted my milk tea with water. It was a bit too strong for me. :) read more

Randomly found this place on Yelp for a friend's bday and loved it! I think it's relatively new to the area or maybe I have missed it? but glad we were able to check it out. Since there were so many yummy dishes, we decided to go family style. As other reviews suggest, the Simon's Garlic Chicken was a huge HIT. The salt and pepper crispy fish was also a good entree. Along with that, we also liked the noodle dishes (chow mein / chow fun was excellent). Didn't get a picture of all the food, but we enjoyed everything we ordered :) They also gave us some complimentary hong kong milk tea + sesame rice balls which were the perfect end to our meal. read more

I I'd been wanting to come here ever since I read an article in The SF Chronicle about the younger generation taking over the family business. I came in with no expectations other than to support a family-run restaurant. Every dish we ordered was excellent--not a single one disappointed. We had a few dim sum items, several appetizers, plus an entrée and a noodle dish. Everything was authentic and cooked to perfection. The true standout, however, was their Hong Kong-style milk tea. It's the first milk tea I've had that tastes exactly like the ones I drank in Hong Kong. Our server shared that one of the owners spent months there learning the technique, and it absolutely shows. I think I found my favorite restaurant in Chinatown, will definitely be going back. read more

Had a great meal at 606 with a group of 4. We got the hot and sour soup, salt and pepper fish, fried tofu with chopped shrimp, Sichuan dry-fried string beans, and crispy golden noodles. Everything was super flavorful, and the variety really hit the spot. Funny enough, it felt like just the right amount of food compared to when we came with 6 people last time. Service is still solid; friendly and efficient. Definitely a spot that delivers on taste. read more

The food was fantastic from start to finish. We kicked things off with the pork and cabbage potstickers and the onion crepe pancakes--both arrived fresh and piping hot straight from the pan. The onion pancake might just be the best I've ever had: delicately layered, with edges perfectly crisped to golden perfection. For the main course, we ordered Simon's garlic chicken and the dry-fried beef hor fun noodles. That chicken? Hands down one of the most flavorful dishes I've had in ages. It was an umami-packed flavor bomb that left me craving more. The noodles had just the right wok-kissed char, tender slices of beef, and a restrained amount of sauce that let the ingredients truly shine--just like the ones I remember from childhood. Service was attentive throughout, and the ambiance struck a nice balance between simplicity and modern touches. Overall, a memorable dining experience. I'll definitely be recommending this spot to any out-of-state visitor--especially fellow Chinese American kids looking for nostalgic flavors that feel like home. read more

Food is okay and service was slow. We ordered the Westlake beef soup, pea sprouts, salt and pepper fish, dry beef ho fun and hot milk tea. Nothing stood out in a good way. All were acceptable dishes except for the salt and pepper fish. I was not a fan of the batter and it was too seasoned. We finished eating for a while and no one checked to see if we're ready to pack the leftovers and pay the bill. We were able to get someone's attention but it seemed unnecessary when they walked over a few times to look but didn't get close enough to check in on us. read more
