Chinatown’s First Restaurant Week: Starts Sunday

Admit it. When you think about Philadelphia’s Chinatown, the first thing that comes to mind… is the food.
And with over 30 restaurants in an 8 block radius, I’m hard pressed to think of anything else. Have you tried the soup dumplings from Sakura or the crispy Peking duck from Sang Kee? No? Well, drop the fork and grab some chopsticks because Chinatown is hosting their first Restaurant Week beginning Sunday, Sept 20th through Friday Sept 25th. In following with Restaurant Week tradition, plates will range from $10 to $30 and will not only include local Chinese restaurants but also Thai, Burmese and some Kosher Vegetarian establishments.
Settling on heaping bowl of rice with your order of General Tso’s chicken may fill your stomach, but certainly doesn’t leave much for the palate, so go try something new! For a list of participants and their tasty menus, check out the official Chinatown Restaurant Week website.
Restaurant Week begins a week of festivities concluding with our annual Mid-Autumn Festival. Stay tuned!
