Sang Kee has buffed up since its modest beginnings more than 25 years ago. The menu, though, has barely changed, and that’s okay. Classics like the namesake Peking duck — which arrives in two stages: breast slices with crunchy skin attached for stuffing inside warm pancakes are followed by stir-fried vegetables with shredded duck meat — don’t need updating. Neighboring restaurants may have larger menus or more elaborate preparations, but Sang Kee’s roasted meats and noodle dishes can’t be beat.
