Today, Nick from My Inner Fatty is satisfying his Chinese food craving by visiting the Sang Kee in the Sharaton Hotel. I know Lunchers Becca , Wayles, and Matt are fans too.
Chinese food is one of those things that I constantly crave. I know sometimes it’s not exactly the healthiest meal, and more often than not, I tend to regret my decision of overeating these grease laden meals, but there’s just something I can’t pinpoint that has me going back all the time. Probably the MSG, I swear it’s like nicotine to an Asian person. Anyway, last week, I found myself wandering University City with a group of 7, trying desperately to find a proper lunch location. Turns out, this is much more difficult than it seems. Most places that come to mind are either quick meal solutions (i.e. carts), which aren’t suitable for a large group to have a sit down meal. Luckily, a solution was remarkably close.
Maybe this is an unfair blanket generalization, but I don’t normally expect to find great food in the lobby of a hotel. This goes double for Chinese food. It’s just not the type of thing that feels at home in a relatively upscale location. In my mind, good Americanized Chinese food tends to be greasy, cheap, and found in storefronts more appropriate to that description. Sang Kee Noodle House effectively ruins that entire statement. The latest in the family of ‘Sang Kee’ restaurants, this one is nestled on the first floor of the Sheraton in University City. With virtually no wait time, a fantastically varied menu, and moderate pricing for a sit down joint, Sang Kee might legitimately be in a class of it’s own when it comes to ML Chinese fooding in the area.
