Fresh and delicious. Nothing gross about it at all. It's like clean Chinese food but still very rich and tasty.

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

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

My favorite spot. Everything is good. They take care of customers. The food is familiar yet elevated.

There is an unusual smell when you enter There was hair in our walnut shrimp Sent it back Brought another one which was cold Food did not taste good Not fresh Service not great 3 servers stopped by to take order even after order was placed My son threw up after coming home Our friend texted me she has bad stomach after getting home Will not be going back 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

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

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

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

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

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.

I ordered the Wor Wonton soup expecting a classic, Cantonese-style comfort dish. Instead, the soup contained zucchini, which is not traditional for this dish and significantly altered the flavor. The zucchini released a strong vegetal taste into the broth, which overpowered the soup and affected the flavor of the meat and wontons. The result was a broth that tasted off and unpleasant, and I wasn't able to finish it. I ordered this specifically as comfort food and was disappointed. Because this dish was so heavily modified from the traditional preparation, I no longer feel confident that other menu items wouldn't be similarly altered. For that reason, I won't be returning or ordering takeout from this restaurant again. read more

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

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

One of the best and flavorful Cantonese food in SF Chinatown! Attentive, thoughtful, friendly, and fast service, even the new generation owners came to the table for a meet and greet.

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

So far, this is some of the best Chinese food that I've tried in San Francisco. It's a relatively new restaurant, but has been in the same family for many years and was recently remodeled. You can tell that they use fresh and high-quality ingredients, and are traditional, even if slightly modernized I'm excited to try more dishes here, but can definitely recommend the Honey Walnut Prawns and Beef Ho Fun. 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

What an amazing family, history, food, and staff. We were there for a Palace Theater show and needed dinner fast. But it couldn't be a sandwich, no way. And the weekend that we went, it was pouring rain! We were sat at around 5:30 PM and started ordering food and once the food came out, everything was so delicious that we couldn't believe that this is the best Chinese restaurant that I have ever eaten at. Really recommend their fresh seafood plates and the salt and pepper seasoning. I wish to come to the city more to eat here when it's not raining. 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

I heard the owners of 606 are from the same family as the previous restaurant. Now I understand why Simon's garlic chicken was the most popular order; I couldn't stop eating more than two portions of their crispy sweet chicken. My former date loved their Beef Ho Fun which was more flavorful and less oily, even the noodles were covered in soy sauce well. The Xiao Long Bao was okay; I expected it to be more soupy. It's best to try other dim sum dishes. The service was pleasant at first, but once they got busy it took a long time to flag one of the waiters for a check and takeout boxes. What's nice is that they accept Apple and Google Pay, which you had to go up to the register to scan your phone. Overall, the restaurant was clean and modern. Will come back to try different Cantonese-style dishes. read more

Fam and I decided to come here after spending half the day at the exploratorium. Mind you we were soooo hungry and tired but decided to walk the 20min since I've had this place bookmarked for a bit. We get there, it wasn't too busy so they were able to accommodate us and placed us at a table by the window. The interior was modern and very airy, and the hostess and servers were very nice and attentive. On to the food. We ordered their garlic chicken, scallion pancakes, chow mein (?) and the salt and pepper fish. Scallion pancakes was good, although I wouldn't mind a dipping sauce for it. The garlic chicken was great as well. My kids (who are picky eaters) both loved this dish. The noodles, were okay, no complaints, but the vegetables in the noodles were crisp and fresh. Now on to the star of the show-- the salt and pepper fish. Best S&P I've ever had. It was tasty, crispy on the outside and very tender/flaky on the inside. It was not greasy at all and was very very flavorful. I'm drooling right now just thinking about it. All in all, it was a very good experience and can't wait to come back to try out some of their other specialties. Shout out to the chef who was right out there making sure everything was on point, and helping bus the tables. read more

I give this restaurant a 4 starts the food was good the egg rolls were AMAZING. Definitely recommend those. We did not dine in as there was a looonnnggg line so we ordered and picked it up to go. But the food was ready pretty quickly. The ambience when I arrived for pick up was chill. One of the managers was super nice made sure we had everything. I love a place that makes you feel welcomed no matter your race of how you are dressed. We will be back to try different food on the menu for sure. read more

It's been awhile but I had a craving for beef chow fun. So what happened? Of course, I had something else. The 1st thing I noticed was the new menus with items that I don't remember seeing previously. They also have a drink menu which drew me to study it more carefully. I started by ordering the Son of Hong Kong HK milk tea cold (https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=saJuyv784apZzH--psHZ3Q&start=0&select=CRhawmdVaD5WFPZpcqU41w) after being impressed by the hot version my 1st visit and was even more impressed this time. Besides being in a tall glass, what was inside widened my eyes, a large ice cube composed of the same milk tea. Who does that?! The flavors were as I remember, an authentic HK style with balanced flavors. I started with a bo of wonton soup (https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=saJuyv784apZzH--psHZ3Q&start=0&select=eCLafEjMWJd0OglGy4Z49g) meant to be shared family style; the wonton filling (https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=saJuyv784apZzH--psHZ3Q&start=48&select=iWn7ZXrcPfKPgRVJIrsPeQ), a mix of ground pork and shrimp, made these plumper than usual dumplings. They were tasty and paired well with the clear broth and bok choy. The broth portion was generous, perfect since I brought half of this order home for my mom. From the Lunchtime Rice Plates section, I selected the mini entree + side of rice, Simon's Garlic Chicken, upgrade to egg fried rice (+$3) (https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=saJuyv784apZzH--psHZ3Q&start=0&select=_exL8VnAHgxiMOsxbai4sA). I was surprised that this was deep fried with a slightly sweet glaze. Some might like it to that Chinese bear fast food place's signature dish but this is much better. Served with al dente broccoli stalks (2) and egg fried rice, these meshed well flavor wise. The chicken portion was generous and I brought home a third of it. The dining room was half full with one large table occupied and two other two top tables too. Thank you , Aldo, for taking my order and sharing the portion amount of the soup. I referenced my original review in thanking Michael as I left and met one of the business partners Alvin as I left. He welcomed me for returning and invited me back. You know I will return. read more

The pros: fried crispy noodles, fried fish, salt and pepper pork chops. Tried the Hong Kong milk tea and Hong Kong Palmer, both were very good. Service is okay, had to flag someone down a couple times to refill our drinks. Wonton left something to be desired, but everything else was good! read more

Excellent food and service. It's difficult finding good Cantonese cuisine in the Bay and I'm glad we ventured here on a random weekend to try. We highly recommend the House Special fried rice, chicken wings (we ordered the one with sauce but the dry fried looks/smells just as good), wonton soup and charsiu. The ambiance was nice and the location was fantastic -- we were seated near the window so was great to people watch. read more
