LOVE this place. My first time here was maybe a year or two ago and what really sold me was their HK milk tea. It's absolutely fabulous! I go back just for their milk tea... I also really like their pea shoots with garlic, their dim sum, and their fried chicken. They do a great crispy fry without it being too greasy or heavy. It's a touch more expensive for Chinese food in Chinatown, but worth it! Would recommend going with friends or family, they also do a good job hosting slightly bigger crowds. read more

Modern and sleek, I think it's so cool it's being run by the kids of the original owners! They have good lunch specials and some of my favorite HK milk tea in the city. I recommend Simon's Chicken and any of the dim sum dishes. My friend enjoyed her fish and bok choy and we shared a few dim sum dishes which were also very good. Service is quick and attentive and helpful! Will be back! read more

If there's one thing I found to stand out at 606, it was the service! Having immediate service to get a table, the checking in every so often to ensure the meal is great, and the incredibly friendly environment they culture, it was already a great place to eat in my books. Even leaving the restaurant, the simple goodbye and see you again goes a long way, and I felt grateful for the experience. That is not even mentioning the food! With a very expansive menu in traditional Cantonese dishes, alongside incredible prices; it's really hard to beat anywhere in the city. Definitely a place I will recommend my friends and family for a hidden gem in the city, and I definitely will be back again. read more

Delicious food, modern looking restaurant and fast service. We went there at lunch time on Wednesday and didn't have to wait. After we ordered, the lunch crowd started coming in. - Son of HK milk tea: a must try item here. I liked it a lot. However, my husband wasn't a fan because they used evaporated milk. It was milky but that's what it was supposed to be. - Honey walnut prawn: it's a relatively higher price item on the menu. It was greatly executed. Crispy, creamy, crunchy from the walnut. Yummm - Dried beef hor fun: it had good wok hei, beef was so tender. Overall, we both agreed it was a very solid Cantonese restaurant and would definitely come back to try more dishes here. I also love the story behind this restaurant. read more

I really loved and highly recommend 606. My boyfriend and I read about how this restaurant had been revamped by the children of the original owners. We decided to give it a try, and we were not disappointed. We ordered the: - Salt and Pepper Fish - Salt and Pepper Tofu and String Beans - Sweet and Sour Pork - Har gow Every dish was really delicious. My favorite was the Sweet and Sour Pork. If you go during lunchtime, they actually will have some lunch specials, such as $2 off the dim sum or a combo of an entree and a rice for about $3 cheaper than it would be if you just ordered the entree alone. Portion-wise, it was pretty generous. I will say the main entree size is just slightly bigger than the lunch special, so keep that in mind if you were trying to be more budget minded. We have no complaints at all about the food. The fried fish was our favorite because it had little bits of shallot and jalapeno which really enhanced the flavor and we love that. The service was also really nice and the ambiance is so cute. It reminds me a lot of Cantonese restaurants in Malaysia, Singapore, and Hong Kong, so we really enjoyed this spot. read more

I was able to snag a last minute reservation on a Friday night and I'm so happy I did. This was my first time here and wasn't sure to expect. We ordered several different items from Simon's garlic chicken, xiao long bao, dry fry beef ho fun, and chicken fried rice and everything was absolutely delicious. I'll be dreaming of Simon's garlic chicken til I'm able to have it again. That dish alone would bring me back. I was a little disappointed with the xiao long bao as they were just alright and the server didn't bring out the vinegar and ginger til we only had two pieces left and he apologized about forgetting it. The service was just okay nothing amazing. The server rarely checked on our table. But that won't stop us from coming back. read more

We ordered takeout for a light family lunch: Wok Tossed Chicken & Vegetables, Chicken Crispy Golden Noodles and Beef Chow Fun. The items arrived hot and were delicious. My favorite was the beef chow fun, as the beef was tender and the noodles were fresh and chewy. Will definitely have to visit the restaurant in the future to try some of the other dishes. read more

I think what 606 gets right is that they don't rush your food out all at once. It kind of tells me that their kitchen isn't pushing numerous dishes out and my family was able to eat everything at a time, unlike most typical fast-casual HK cafes. The salt and pepper pork chop was crispy. Dry stir fry Hor fun was full of "wok hei" but my favorites were the crispy golden noodle and minced shrimp stuffed tofu. Extra points for none of the food being too greasy or oily. Pair the food with iced lemon tea which we had, along with a glass of ying-yeurng milk tea. Service was wonderful and I definitely got my money worth. There may be a wait on weekends but good thing there is a digital waitlist! read more

Service is fast, place is clean. Food is ok but definitely not a five star rated restaurant. We ordered hot and sour soup, Singapore noodles, general chicken and tofu. They are just ok read more

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

Very bland... the only thing good was the cripsy veggie egg rolls. The wonton noodle soup broth had no flavor at all, so the soup itself was not enjoyable. The siu mai was really good. The shrimp dumplings were bland.. There are better and more authentic restaurants in Chinatown. read more

03.01.2025 - Playing tourist for our date day. First, I must say, THIS PLACE IS LEGIT!!! During Chinese New Year Festival, I stopped by with a friend to try their Hong Kong style milk tea as they were rated one of the best in Chinatown. After trying, I 100% can vouch that they make the best Hong Kong style milk tea. Perfectly brewed to taste strong and creamy with the right amount of sweetness. It's pretty strong that you don't need too much of it. This was simply a taste of nostalgia (mmhmm). Fast forward a week, I wanted to try their food with my hubs so we easily made reservations via Yelp. Of course, I had to order myself a cup of their Hong Kong style milk tea to comfort my soul first. Then we ordered the following: Pea sprout with garlic - Very fresh, perfectly seasoned and cooked. Each crunchy bite tasted so earthy and delicious. Honey walnut prawns - Huge pieces of prawns on a bed of clean shredded cabbage and accompanied by candied walnuts. Personally, I wished the amount of mixed mayonnaise and condensed milk were slightly dressed on the prawns because it felt too heavy to my taste. Otherwise, it would have been a solid dish. Bbq pork buns - I'm allergic to pork so I couldn't try, but according to my hubs, it was enjoyable. The size was great! Salt and pepper fish - Fried to golden perfection. I wonder if they use panko crust because it was so crispy. The fish was flaky and juicy. Considering it's salted, we didn't feel that it was too overpowering. It was just the right amount of flavor. Definitely was a star item. We did have to wait a while for our food to arrive, so the staff was kind to offer a complimentary chashu dish. Thinly sliced bbq pork belly seasoned with sesame. Visually, it was very appealing. Again, according to my husband, it was his favorite dish of the meal! I have to say, 606 knows how to prepare, season and execute their dishes in the most perfect way possible. The portion wasn't overwhelming nor underwhelming. It was just enough to satisfy. We shared a bowl of rice, but still had some leftover. We didn't feel the need to balance out many of our order with rice at all. Eugene, one of the owners took the time to ask how we were enjoying our meal. We appreciated his personableness and interest in our feedback. Very nice guy. He even remembered me from a week ago! Also, shout out to our incredibly friendly and awesome server, Michael! Thank you for making our first dine-in experience wonderful. We will definitely be back, very soon, to try some of their other recommended dishes. read more

My friends and I really enjoyed our meal at 606! The four of us came by Thursday around 6:30 pm and it wasn't too crowded. Definitely get the HK milk tea. The hot one comes in a cute cup and the cold one comes with an ice cube made of the milk tea so it doesn't get diluted! It was super delicious. We shared a couple of appetizers and entrees (* marks my favorites) * GP dry fried chicken wings ($16) - these were super bomb!! They were fried perfectly and coated with a delicious sweet sauce Onion crepe pancake ($10) - I've never had these fried before, only pan fried, and I gotta say, I've been missing out! * Salt & pepper fish ($22) - I see why this dish is so popular. They're super crispy on the outside but really soft on the inside 606 house fried rice ($25) - this was a solid dish, but to me fried rice is fried rice, it's never too exciting One friend got the chicken chow mein ($21) and another got the stewed beef noodle soup ($16). I didn't try either but they both liked their food. We ended the meal on a sweet note, with the mini sesame balls ($10). One order comes with a generous portion of 8 balls, and they were a great end to a fantastic meal! I'd love to come back and try more dishes, including Simon's Garlic Chicken. It's one of their most popular dishes! read more

After seeing their Hong Kong milk tea featured on Instagram, I knew I had to give this place a try especially since I've been inspired by my recent HK trip to search for the best milk tea here in SF. I can confirm that their milk tea is deliciously authentic! I felt like I was back in HK as we drank the hot cups during our lunch and got bottles to go. They had the perfect sweetness level, fragrant smell, and smooth taste. The bottom bit of the bottle was frozen milk tea instead of ice chunks, so the tea doesn't get diluted -- genius! I slowly sipped on this to make it last as long as possible. Food was solid, but don't be expecting cheap Chinatown prices at this renovated cafe. The sweet and sour pork ribs had a delicate crunch through the sauce. The dry beef ho fun needed more smokiness from the wok hei, but I appreciate that it wasn't too oily. The beef was super tender. I'll definitely be coming back because I love their HK milk tea so much! read more

Went to the SF Chinatown night market and was getting both HANGRY and tired of the rude folks that ran the stands. Thanks to Google and Yelp, we found 606! Where bougie/boujee upscale meets traditional Cantonese food... 606! Sticks out like a modern well lit thumb in Chinatown from the quick and rushed old school restaurants but absolutely delicious. FOOD Stewed Beef Noodle Soup with egg noodle, $16 - love the price - very authentic - lots of bok choy and meat!! - passed the test of gelatinizing in the fridge from takeout - noodles cooked well and hits the spot Dry Fry Beef Ho Fun - wished there was more sauce for a denser, darker, and more traditional look and due to the lack of salt - oily but what stir fried ho fun isn't oily? - meat and noodles cooked well Hot HK tea - can taste the settledness and flavor profile of the tea - surprisingly refreshing and goes well with the meal - I truly appreciate that they charge less for heated drinks as everyone knows you get less with hot vs cold OVERALL, brownie points for a simple straightforward meal that highlights the flavor profiles of traditional Cantonese taste while elevating the dish to feel more high end. Although, the presence of MSG still obviously exists. SERVICE: - very very very attentive - strange how they hire non Mandarin and non Cantonese speaking servers... perhaps they are striving for the ding tai fung atmosphere with the availability of different languages speakers? AMBIENCE: - very very very modern decor - at night, you definitely will not miss this restaurant with their purplish outdoor lights - modern interior decor... love the woodiness vibes of the furniture - usually a line... can Yelp waitlist - kitchen does close approximately 15 minutes or so early and they do stop serving customers early so watch out and time your visits earlier! LOCATION: - at the edge of SF Chinatown - complicated parking as you are in the city... stay vigilant / patient and loop around... you will find parking for free! - mainly street parking but has garage parking (no validated parking!) Will I be coming back? If in the area, heck yes! I am excited to try their other dishes with the wonders if they hit the mark or are a disappointment (I have heard some dishes are lackluster.). read more

Would come back for the milk tea. read more

Great food, disappointing service. The food was phenomenal. Everything was flavorful, tender, and authentically prepared. My Mongolian Beef lunchtime mini-entree was delicious, though heavy on the onions compared to the beef. I also tried a little bit of the Salt & Pepper Fish and Simon's Garlic Chicken, both excellent. Unfortunately, the service overshadowed the meal. Our reservation was at 12pm on Wednesday and our party of 15 (13 of us arrived earlier) were seated right away, but despite the restaurant not being very busy, our food took an unreasonably long time. The table that shared all-day entrees received theirs first, while those that ordered the lunchtime mini-entrees waited 40+ minutes. Some of us had meetings at 1pm so they had to leave earlier and couldn't enjoy their food while others had to reschedule meetings to accommodate, as this place was a 15 minute walk from our office. I had to move my 1pm meeting but even with it pushed back, by the time my food arrived almost an hour later, I had to pack it to-go without taking a bite. Service was friendly, but quite inattentive. We had to repeatedly request cups and water refills. I understand large groups can be challenging and perhaps it was a short-staffed day but I had made this reservation a month in advance. The slow, staggered service and poor timing made for a rushed, unpleasant experience. I don't think I'll return, despite how good the food was. read more

This place is great! From the dim sum to the mains every dish is perfectly seasoned, the wait staff is friendly and on top of everything, and the atmosphere is inviting but modern. Some of the best sit down Chinese food I've had here. read more

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

606 - Mini Plate of Simon's Garlic Chicken - Hong Kong Style Cafe Near Me - San Francisco, California

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

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

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

Food: The food was really good! The Fujian fried rice was something really special. A meaty gravy-ish sauce on top of a well seasoned fried rice is a must for any first timer here. Also had the wonton noodle soup and it was maybe not the most stunning dish i had, but still very good imo (huge wontons). Service: Everyone was very kind! The owner will interact with customers and ask around for feedback to improve. Very chill and mellow. Ambiance: Good ambiance and environment! Chair are very comfy in my opinion. Things to improve on: would be very nice if we can be served faster, but totally understandable since the restaurant was rather packed when I was there. 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

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

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

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.

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.

Loved the food. Very nice and accommodating staff. Great location. Would go here again. Definitely.

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
