I've been flying into San Francisco for over 20 years and finally got to land southbound on runway 19R, with the fancy view of downtown on final approach. And I hope you get the same landing blessing in the year to come. It's worth the ground delay!

// Which side should we sit on? A or K to get that view?

You will never get that view! It is super rare. But if you did, you'd need to be on the right side of the plane.

The best way to get a nice view of San Francisco is to sit on the left of the plane during takeoff, which is most often runway 1R or 1L.

1L/R for almost all domestic, but they use 28R/L for some transpacifics, including most flights to HKG. Here’s the last week or so of takeoffs for UA869: https://flightaware.com/live/flight/UAL869/history/20191224/2125Z/KSFO/VHHH … (So in this case for most intercontinental flights, sit on the *right*. Including most to Europe.)

The 28R takeoff view is not that great.

Yeah, it mostly sucks, but if you’re going to HKG it’s usually what you’ll get, and should sit on the right. It’s better transatlantic where you pass over Angel Island.
