"When you find yourself caught in the touristy crosshairs of the North Beach-Chinatown border, zero in on the big neon “606” sign at this Chinese restaurant. The casual spot has floor-to-ceiling windows so you can watch visiting families wander out of City Lights as you dig into mountainous portions of Cantonese classics. Expect crispy seafood noodles, wonton soup you’ll want to drink via ladle, and garlicky sesame chicken, all ideal for fueling up after taking your visiting uncle up and down Coit Tower.
