Sang Kee Peking Duck House

Chinese restaurant · Chinatown

"Sang Kee is one of Philly’s great time capsules. Very little has changed since they first opened in 1980, least of all their recipe for the city’s best Peking duck. But this spot earns icon status for far more than the golden brown mallards hanging in the windows. They also serve consistent Hong Kong-style barbecue and traditional Cantonese dishes in shareable portions. Solo diners slurp noodle soup while grandparents and grandkids share beef chow fun and BBQ ribs. Like us, everyone seems happy to be stuck in this time loop of glistening duck." - alison kessler, candis mclean
