Kids will be captivated by the TVs built into the dining counter that borders the bustling open kitchen, and Mom and Dad will marvel at the sleekness of this suburban Sang Kee, with its zigzag orange paper lanterns overhead and handsome earth-toned tilework. Can this possibly be related to the hole-in-the-wall duck house in Chinatown, dedicated to cheap eats since 1980? Yes, all the dishes we know by heart are here, including translucent steamed dumplings filled with watercress, shrimp and pork; puffy salt-baked shrimp (or squid) with fresh jalapeño; and fat udon noodles stir-fried with roast duck, which is supposed to be spicy, but wasn’t.

Review
serving the best soup outside of race st, this wynnewood gem delighted and suprised locals when it opened 10 years ago. little sister to its chinatown sibling this location offers the quality of downtown authentic chinese with the convenience of suburban access and parking. excellent other choices include salt baked squid, anything with eggplant, the duck and many of the noodle dishes. hosts carl and hugh go out of their way to make everything just right. arrive early to avoid the rush.
