Passed by this place on a Sunday afternoon touring the reading terminal market, and it got me craving roasted duck so I stopped by before leaving Philly.
Swung by at 10am and I wasn’t the only one who wanted duck for breakfast, I can only assume that they are good people. Service was quick once the cashier noticed that I was there.
I ordered the duck with rice and was a little put off that the food was microwaved in the container but I really did like the duck, it was succulent and balanced in flavour. The rice was a little soft though, which is why it didn’t get the full 5*. They give you a lot of the duck jus, which made life just a little bit better.

This was a busy place around noon time on a Monday. They had a counter and a few bar stools. There’s also a separate line to order. I wish they had a sign stating that so I didn’t waste time. Ordered 1. Roast duck & cha siu on white rice and 2. Roast duck & won ton in noodle soup. The roast duck were very fatty and not much meat. The cha siu was flavorful and tender. Won ton skin was very thick and could use some good seasoning in the fillings. There were only a few bean sprouts in the noodle soup instead of green veggies. I will try sitting at the counter next time hopefully I’ll get better looking meat.

Chinatown in a shopping mall. Stay with the duck and soups. The bok chop combo with the duck is probably the best thing here. Healthy food it is not, but a real bargain in Center City Philadelphia!

Got a duck noodle! Came really fast. duck was really good, had meat, didn’t smelly ducky. I wish i could eat here every day.
Not much space to eat there. you can order at the register for take out or sit at the bar stools for service.

Stopped by here on my way out of the reading terminal and I wished I found it earlier! Unfortunately I already ate so I couldn’t try their dishes but I got ½lb of peking duck and it was ahmaaazing. Their duck is so tender and the sauce they put on top of it makes it to die for. I wish I bought more so I could bring it home! I also like that he literally chopped the duck up right in front of me (:

I had the duck noodle bowl and honestly, I maybe ate half. The broth was not flavorful at all and the duck had so much fat and bone in it that I couldn’t eat it! I saw other items here that looked good but just stay away for that dish.

Ugh. I assumed the Reading Terminal location would be the same as the standalone Sang Kee restaurant, which has raving Unilocal reviews. Definitely NOT the case. I ordered the noodle soup with duck and was not impressed at all. Save yourself the money (and calories) and just order the duck with rice. The duck itself is pretty good but the soup and under cooked noodles ruined the experience for me. I’d MAYBE come back if I’m truly craving some peking duck and stuck at the Reading Terminal Market.

Tried the roast duck over rice and received a pile of bones and sinew. When I showed the sales lady she said that I didn’t understand the cut. I had about four small slivers of duck in the whole mess.

I was seriously missing Asian food and thank God there’s this place at the Reading Terminal Market. I’ve ordered the same thing twice for lunch on two separate days: duck won ton noodle soup. Seriously yummy duck won ton noodle soup. Loved the duck, the noodles, the broth, the won ton, everything! I wanted to get it one last time before I left Philly, but there was no time with all the things happening for the World Meeting of Families congress, festival, and papal Mass that we came for all the way from Hawaii. Their duck won ton noodle soup saved me from hoagie sandwich overload and made being away from home a little easier. If I ever get back to Philly, I’m definitely going to stop by again for another round of duck won ton noodle soup.

This place inside Reading Terminal Market is always busy and I got to go there for lunch one day and it was very. average.
I got the roasted duck wonton soup with a duck roll appetizer I wasn’t too impressed with the duck. My duck in the roll had a taste that I wasn’t too fond of. kind of sour a little. but the duck in my soup was fine.
They definitely have a lot of options so I will try the other entrees before giving this place a solid rating.
According to other Unilocal reviews, they have an actual restaurant outside of Reading so maybe going there would be more worth it!

This is the location in Reading Market (they have a larger location in Chinatown proper). Same awesome roast duck and pork but to go (or for eating at their small counter).
The roast duck and pork are the way to go — you can get as a combo together with bok choy or just duck or pork with bok choy (served over rice). They also sell by the pound. I say get the combo — they put rice at the bottom of the take out carton, put the meat and veggies on and then ladle some of the meat drippings all over it. YUM!!!
They also have noodle soup, fried rice and other basic Chinese takeout items, which are all fine, but seriously get the duck or pork.

Good quick lunch at an affordable price. Had the duck lo mein. Duck is fatty, boney pieces laid on top of quick lo mein. Hard to eat without getting your hands dirty. Tasty, but pretty basic overall.

Lovely place to eat. Service is quick and efficient. Workers there are polite and attentive. I love their sesame chicken, duck and the noodle soups. Their spring rolls are also a good snack and inexpensive! The one in Chinatown is better but when I’m in a hurry, I’m happy to eat here!

It can’t compare to the real place on 9^th street, it just can’t. That location is delicious, and price friendly. This place is just lower quality
$ 7.00 for shrimp wonton noodle soup with vegetables with a whopping 3 wontons in my soup! So you get full from allll the noodles they give you, but really nothing substantial. Also a little bland compared to their real location. such a bummer
Can’t comment on the pork as I’ve stopped eating it recently!

I’ve tried a few times to eat at the main restaurant in Chinatown but it’s always way too packed. Last weekend I gave in and tried the RTM location.
It was… pretty amazing. I got bourbon chicken over friend rice with x-tra sauce. It was phenomenal. The chicken was fresh grilled and chopped and the rice was a step above the usual Chinese. I can’t wait to go back.

Wish I would I have read Ryan M.‘s review before my order — I had the exact same experience. Mostly bones and fat. Beyond disappointed.

The duck plate i got was mostly bones and fat. I practically just had a plate of rice to eat!

I love Sang Kee but this was my first time at the one at the Reading Terminal. I wasn’t too hungry (just strolling and was a little greedy) so I ordered the bourbon Shish kabobs. I must say that I was so disappointed! So dry and crispy… is it suppose to be like that? I know it was only 2 bucks but damn!!! Any amount of money I spend… I want the food to be delish! It must have been left out all day or Something. WELL, I do want to give this place another try because of all the great reviews. Next time I will try the roasted duck with green veggies and rice (a real meal)…then I will see how they measure up!

I own a business in the RTM and have recently discovered the Sang Kee Peking Duck. I have never been disappointed. Very fair prices for very fresh and tasty food.
I especially like the vegetable soup and the dumpling soup as well as the fried rice and the tasty crispy duck.
They deliver a very tasty meal for a very reasonable price. It makes an easy, tasty take out dinner when you are not inclined to cook at home.

Walking through Reading Terminal Market you see the crispy, perfectly golden ducks in the window and you just have to have one. Or maybe that’s just me. I had to have one.
I ordered the lunch serving of duck with fried rice. I’m about to expose the American in me, but I wish they didn’t chop it all up, bones and all. I know this is standard at many places that do duck, but I really hate putting a bite in my mouth and worrying if its going to be duck or a small piece of bone. The boyfriend wasn’t complaining and thought it was delicious, so again this could just be me.
Anywho, they give you a pretty healthy portion of duck served over a ton of fried rice, and for the price the servings are large. If you’re looking for duck in Reading this may be the spot for you, but with all the options there I think there are better places to check out.
