Best Dishes Eater SF Editors Ate This Week: February 23 | Eater SF

"San Francisco fried chicken conversations often center on long-time favorites, but newcomer 606 Broadway immediately impressed me with its garlic chicken: an $18 plate that made me want to eat all of it right away. The pieces are pounded and battered, with a texture that's more chewy than crispy — not shattering but slightly crunchy in a comforting way — and the garlic shines as the dominant note; dunking each piece into the sweet-and-sour-esque sauce tests your patience because you won't want to pause. Beyond the chicken, the Hong Kong–style tea is dense and delightfully bitter and creamy, and the shrimp-stuffed tofu is a triumph, making grabbing a seat here for Simon's garlic chicken the new Chinatown choice du jour." - Lauren Saria
