One of my favorite restaurants in the city. Take out of towners if you want to impress! We got the hot and sour soup, shrimp dumplings, vegetable buns, crispy tofu and shrimp, fish and bok choy, signature chow mein, their famous milk tea. Everything was 10/10 delicious and fresh. The service was amazing as well. I would recommend getting two orders of the shrimp dumplings because they are soooo good. All the flavors in each dish were excellent. Could not get enough. 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

606 is a hidden gem in San Francisco's Chinatown. If you're craving some Chinese food, highly recommend visiting this restaurant! *AMBIANCE* You immediately walk into a clean, bright, modern Chinese restaurant which is very atypical from the usual establishments. Although the bathrooms could be tidier, that didn't detract from the overall experience of the food and service. We made a reservation through Yelp, though in busier times, they have a waitlist you can put your name down on the tablet. *FOOD* The food was like having an out of body experience after we had visited some average restaurants earlier that week. The food was absolutely delish and flavorful! We opted for the Sesame Chicken ($18) and the Hong Kong Cripsy Golden Noodles ($22). The sesame chicken was tender on the inside but crispy on the outside. The golden noodles came with a good portion of protein, seafood and veggies. *SERVICE* The staff was very friendly and helpful. Dishes came out quickly and thought they created an inviting and attentive environment. Overall, a solid spot with good quality dishes that I would return in a heartbeat! read more

When I say this is my first stop after landing in San Francisco, this is my absolute first stop! It is my standard for Chinese food and the food quality combined with personal recommendations, and friendliness of the staff never disappoint. I've previously reviewed the salt and pepper calamari, it's perfectly seasoned and fried. You will never regret ordering this! 10/10 Beef Chow Fun I've tried so many times to make this at home but never got the flavor quite like this. The fresh green onions with the flavors of the beef is so perfectly cooked, I highly recommend this for sharing! If you're in San Francisco and looking for Authentic Hong Kong milk tea, delicious and authentic Chinese food, as well as kind people.... you found it! read more

In the city with my daughter and trying to show her how to appreciate the best of different neighborhoods in the City. I searched for the Best Chinese, and here we are! It's a small place, but location, location, location! It's right on the corner of Broadway and Columbus. Hard to miss. We had a short wait. We put our names on the electronic list at the door. Seated fairly quickly by the most pleasant staff persons. Everyone was friendly and cheerful, even. What a treat! They have a simple menu with all the best options. We had Won Ton soup, chicken and vegetables and 606 Chow Mien. My girl had a homemade Arnold Palmer and I had a Hong Kong hot milk tea. The flavors and textures of this food were outstanding. It's rare to have all the colors and textures not weighted down by a heavy sauce or oil based fry. A small critique was that the broth of the soup seemed a bit plain, but was told they custom cook for people who want less sodium or other variations. The dumplings were plentiful and perfectly seasoned and tender. It was hard to stop eating the stir fry and noodles. To be honest, I'd come back just for a cup of the milk tea! Very comforting. This will be a new favorite for us, when in the area! read more

Came across this place while walking around Chinatown and my boyfriend reminisced how the old location use to be open late at night and was very nostalgic. Upon arriving, we were promptly greeted and seated by our kind waitress and throughout the whole meal, the staff were hospitable. Menu is definitely on the pricier side for the amount of food given but the food was enjoyable. Chicken wings (5/5)- crispy on the outside yet juicy on the inside. The chicken wings were fried to perfection and I love how well balanced the spice to salt ratio was. Salt and pepper pork chop (3.5/5)- I personally like my salt and pepper pork chop on the fattier side but most of the meat were pretty lean. It was a tad bit too salty for my palette but I did enjoy how tender most of the pork chop were. Mongolian beef (4/5)- Beef was succulent and the flavors were mostly there, but it was a bit too salty for my boyfriend and I. Definitely looking forward to seeing how the other dishes here taste. Service is impeccable and I really hope for the best for this restaurant. read more

We were just out having fun for the day in San Francisco and walked through Chinatown before stopping here to eat. Since we were with the kids, we wanted a place where everyone could find something they would actually eat, and this spot was a great choice. When we arrived, they asked if we had reservations, but they seated us pretty quickly. The menu had a lot of familiar items the kids enjoy, but everything had so much more flavor than what we're used to. The food was incredible, and they did a wonderful job preparing it. Everything was so good. We ordered shareable sizes, but honestly the portions were so generous and tasty that each one felt like a personal plate. The waiters were kind, attentive, and made sure we got everything we ordered. The chow mein did come out very late and had been forgotten, but they handled it well and removed it from the bill as a courtesy. My daughter especially loved the chow mein and said it was some of the best she's ever had. We felt very fortunate to find this spot. We loved it, and it's definitely a family-friendly place. read more

It was 2 pm on a Monday afternoon and I was a little buzzed off of the irish coffee at The Buena Vista, I was starting to get hungry and the bartender never offered the food menu to me. Time to pull out the yelp app and find some good food. 606 popped up with good reviews so I hopped on a bus, walked a few blocks and grabbed a table. They placed me along the window which was perfect for people watching as I dined alone. I was hungry as I hadn't eaten all day and had a long climbing session in the morning. I ordered their salted fish and chicken fried rice and salt and pepper chicken wings. They gave plenty food so I had left overs. It was so good I think I'd rate it as the best salted fish and chicken fried rice I'd ever had. I ended up eating the rest of it as a midnight snack back at the hotel. I washed it all down with their hong kong style milk tea. Thank you 606 for feeding me that day I was very hungry. read more

606 - salted fish and chicken fried rice, salt and pepper chicken wings, milk tea - Hong Kong Style Cafe Near Me - San Francisco, California

Read the SF Chronicle article about their authentic Hong Kong milk tea process, and then started hearing great things from friends who had already been there. Stopped in to check out the place last Friday. The proprietor Eugene and his staff were all so welcoming and friendly. The host Alvin recommended we try an off menu item, the black pepper beef chow mein, and the salt and pepper fish while we were pondering our takeout order. We also ordered Mongolian beef extra spicy, fried rice, and the Simon's garlic chicken (and the best pea sprouts I've ever had) - all were delicious! The restaurant is beautifully appointed and clean, so I'm excited to get a large party to come back and dine in, and have that wonderful HK milk tea again! read more

this place was more of a bucket list item and we walked past it and saw a couple open tables so we decided to stop by without a resy. the restaurant was pretty crowded, but there weren't actually that many chinese patrons inside. the restaurant was like a more upscale type of restaurant and that was definitely reflected in the price, but not really in the quality of the dishes. the serving sizes were also a bit small, so my party of four weren't full by the end of the dinner (the mongolian beef had a pretty equal ratio of onions to meat, which i would favor having more meat). nice to try since i live around the area, but i don't think i will be coming back. pork fried rice - a classic fried rice, not that many large pieces of meat inside salt and pepper fish - good texture, very crunchy and the fish inside was nice and soft mongolian beef - with there was more beef, but good flavor tofu and string beans - this was not the dish we intended to order, we wanted just the beans but the tofu texture was really good, crunchy outside but the inside still soft read more

Came here based off reddit recommendations for San Fran and this place does not disappoint. The iced HK milk tea was slammin! It even comes with a giant milk tea ice cube so your drink won't be diluted. The 606 bbq pork and green onion pancakes were *chefs kiss*. Wish we had come hungrier and had more time in town to try more dishes! read more

606 is hands-down one of my favorite Chinese restaurants in San Francisco -- a true hidden gem that's family-owned and full of heart. From the moment we walked in, I could feel the blend of warmth, tradition, and modern charm. I started with the Hong Kong milk tea (hot), and it instantly transported me back to childhood memories in Hong Kong. Served in a beautiful cup and saucer with a brass spoon, the presentation was thoughtful and elegant -- and the taste was spot on: rich, smooth, and comforting. My husband had the dry beef chow fun, which was packed with flavor and perfectly stir-fried. I ordered the HK crispy noodles -- crunchy, saucy, and satisfying without being overly greasy. One of the things I truly appreciated was how balanced everything felt. These dishes weren't heavy or oily -- just clean, authentic flavors that left us feeling happy, not sluggish. We also shared the wonton soup, and it was delightful. The wrappers were thin and delicate, allowing the homemade filling to shine through. You could taste the care and skill in every bite. 606 nails that rare combination of modern dining atmosphere with true Cantonese soul. It's the kind of place where one visit just isn't enough. If you only had a couple of days in San Francisco, you'd find yourself wanting to come back just to explore more of their menu. That's how memorable and well-executed it all is. A must-visit. read more

I usually hate waiting for...anything...but I'm glad we stuck it out at 606 on a whim. It has a simple, modern interior that's perhaps appealing to a younger crowd. There are a number of familiar Chinese and Chinese American flavors, but with elegance and interesting twists. These guys do a good job. Dry Fry Beef Ho Fun: Nothing out of the ordinary really, but a good classic dish. Onion Crepe Pancakes: Another classic, but really perfectly crisp yet chewy enough in the center layer. Delicious fatty flavor and they even do a light sprinkle of salt across the top; it's subtle touches like this that make 606 a little different. GP Dry Fried Chicken Wings: These had a great intensity of flavors on this. It's different from those *other* dry fried wings you probably had in SF, but it's a good balance of salty, sweet, and everything else. Salt & Pepper Fried Tofu with String Beans: So good! I wasn't even excited about this, but the outside was so lightly crisp and the tofu so pillowy soft. Maybe they just roll it in msg or something, but I couldn't get enough of the texture and flavor. This is a standout dish imo. Stewed Beef Noodle Soup with Egg Noodles: Flavorful broth and good veggies with texture. Beware of the giant meat chunks with ample tendon if you're um, let's say not Chinese. But if you're into that it was melty and sumptuous. Shanghai Dumplings: Can't complain about these! Lovely with the vinegar. Shoutout to the chili sauce on the side! read more

Summary: Awesome milk tea and tasty eats Details: I've been here so many times that I'm surprised I haven't written a review for them yet! The wife and I are regulars, but primarily for their super legit HK milk tea, which you can get to go, both iced and hot. Definitely the most authentic version I've had in the Bay, if not the States in general: strong and flavorful, though the iced versions come off sweeter than the hot, so choose accordingly. The food itself is a solid selection of what you'd expect from a Canto restaurant, with a good mix of what I've associated with the ABC restaurants I grew up with as a kid. So much so that the wife kept avoiding eating here for the past year because she thinks "Americanized Chinese" can't be good! But, after finally convincing her to sit down for a meal the other day, also enjoyed the eats enough to have a change of heart. Personally, a big fan of the salt and pepper pork and crispy golden noodles, but I haven't had a bad dish yet. Accessibility: There are two levels to the restaurant, separated by a couple steps, but the main level has a few tables so accessibility shouldn't be an issue (all those Chinatown inclines aside) read more

My family and I are in town visiting and one of our favorite things to do is to eat good food and this is the perfect place for that! We stopped in around 2:30 on a Saturday and it was the perfect time because it was not too crowded and we were able to sit down immediately. Our intention was to just get a little snack but that all changed when the menus came. We ordered a large hot n sour soup, potstickers, soup dumplings, bbq buns, chicken wings, honey walnut prawns, salt and pepper fish, garlic chicken and the mixed rice. Everything cam out quick and it was a balancing act with the dishes but all of it was delicious. Our favorites as a whole were the fish, garlic chicken and dumplings. I personally loved the prawns it was my first time having the dish and the walnuts that come with it should be bagged and sold on their own. The staff were all friendly and made sure we had our cups full. With all the options in this area I won't be surprised if we find our way back, you see we didn't try a noodle dish. 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

Found myself in San Francisco for the day and was craving some chinese food. We aren't really familiar with the chinese scene in the City so I took to Yelp to find a good recommendation, decided on 606. This place feels authentic with a little bit of modernity in it. We ordered the fried won tons, honey walnut prawns, sesame chicken, and the hong kong style crispy noodles. Sesame Chicken was very solid, felt like a mix of sesame and sweet and sour chicken. Hong kong style noodles were just okay, really not impressed with those and wouldn't recommend. Honey walnut prawns were the star of the meal. Large prawns that were cooked perfectly, and the sauce was not too heavy and extremely tasty. Fried won tons were what you'd expect. Worth noting that the (presumed) owner called us after we left the restaurant to let us know they had charged us incorrectly, so we went back for a refund. We appreciated the honesty! If we were to go again we'd want to try the chow fun among other things. Overall, a very solid chinese spot with great service. 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

So delicious, and incredible service! I love visiting in person, but their online ordering is great too. One of my favorite places in San Francisco. read more

I had a poor experience here. In the short time I was there, the servers messed up 3 orders (there were less than 10 people in the restaurant total) and clearly hadn't communicated which tables had already ordered. I came here for drinks, which were fine, and I can't speak to the food. read more

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 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

great service & authentic food! impressed by the quality especially given the modern vibe

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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
