Like many authentic Chinese restaurants in Philadelphia’s Chinatown, Sang Kee Peking Duck House does not pride itself on aesthetics. The most decorative touches are the meats hanging up right when you walk in. But the bare-bones decor isn't a problem. The delicious, Hong Kong-styled food needs no distraction. CONT'D
Although the menu is expansive, everything is good. Try a big bowl of noodle soup: salty, flavorful broth to which you can add a dumpling of your choosing. I personally love the shrimp dumplings — wrapped in a delicate, thin noodle, the shrimp acts like a sponge, soaking in the flavor of the broth. If you’re in the mood for something heavier, ask for the Honey Coated Roast Pork. Tender, slightly sweet, and oh so crunchy, the pork works as a great addition to the soup, but is equally satisfying on its own.
If the soup doesn't fill you up, move on to some classic entrees. Chicken with crunchy string beans, shrimp with cashews, the delicious and not-too-oily vegetable fried rice are all succulent dishes. The Peking Duck is their speciality, and should not be missed. Split this crispy, mouth-watering meat with some friends and you'll have trouble talking about anything but the food. When you leave, well-fed and possibly with a carton or two of leftovers, I bet you'll already be planning a return trip.

I hope you got my art request from Etsy: Tis the year when many of my firdnes turn 40. There are 2 of my girlfriends in particular that I would like to get a necklace that celebrates our Oklahoman roots (we've all moved away). I like your chickadee pendent and would like something similar with a scissor-tail flycatcher.

About Us
We are young (early 20's) and hungry (for knowledge! music! art! food!) friends living on (or in areas which border) Manhattan. We moved to the city seeking higher education, and an alternative to frat parties and gin buckets. We prefer a bottle of Chianti to a keg, lunches at City Bakery to a dining hall, Joe's to Starbucks, Frankie's Amatriciana to Batali's. Our uniting factor is our love for food. For detailed, personal information, keep reading.
