We stopped by for dinner and were seated right away. The table and floor were somewhat sticky. We got the Crispy & Spicy Calamari Rings. While they were tasty, the panko bread crumbs were barely on the calamari and could have been fried a few seconds more. We got the Sweet & Sour Shrimp and the Taiwanese Spicy Beef Ramen with fried egg added on. The Sweet & Sour Shrimp came with pineapples and green peppers and a side of white rice. The Taiwanese Spicy Been Ramen was not spicy at all and had more of a soy sauce tasting broth than anything else. That dish was not very enjoyable. I have been here many times over the years and have always noticed their food is a bit bland.

Located in the lobby of the Sheraton. Very tasty and authentic food. A little higher priced but it is University City after all. Food came out nice and hot, minutes after ordering, even though they were super busy. Great portions and everyone happily tucked in. I am still partial to the original C-town location but sit down or take out - this place is 2 thumbs up for me ! Update 6/9/2022 - still consistently great food. Had another great get together - "family style" ! Good place for a gathering.

We visited Sang Kee Noodle House for a birthday dinner and left feeling underwhelmed. It doesn’t measure up to Sang Kee Peking Duck House in Chinatown. The food here is just average, portions are smaller, and the prices are slightly higher. Service was lackluster. The only real advantage is that the location offers easier parking. Overall Ratings: Restaurant: 3/5 Service: 2/5 Food: 3/5 Parking: Street Parking (more convenient than Chinatown) Atmosphere: I liked the decor—clean, open, and modern—but the menu is quite limited. Unlike the Chinatown location, there’s no Peking duck on display, and the variety just isn't there. Service: Nothing notable. We ordered, they brought the food. The staff didn’t seem particularly attentive or engaged. Overall, the experience felt pretty forgettable. What We Ordered: -House Special Noodle: Just okay. The flavor was weak and didn’t stand out. -Braised Beef Flank Noodle: Also just okay. The broth lacked depth and had a strange aftertaste. Neither noodle dish came with wontons—you have to pay extra for those, along with other typical add-ons. It felt like everything that would normally be included came with an extra charge. Final Thoughts: I probably wouldn’t come back. If I’m craving Sang Kee, I’ll stick to the Peking Duck House in Chinatown. Sure, parking there can be a hassle, but the food makes it absolutely worth it.
