Peking duck wraps were decent but the second dish that comes as part of the order with left over duck meat and vegetables stir fried together was actually the more flavorful treat.  We also ordered a seafood hot pot that was OK   The flavors were a little mild and there was an herbal taste to the broth that wasn't as traditional.  The Salt Baked Squid in Five Spice was a highlight.

Dinner concluded with a complementary dessert of four flavors of ice cream  1) Cherry 2) Ginger 3) Coconut 4) Vanilla along with obligatory fortune cookies.

Definitely worth checking out as prices are reasonable and for a restaurant in Chinatown seating isn't terribly tight with a nice ambiance.

Max Brew Bar (Northern Liberties, Philadelphia)

Max Brew Bar

1050 N. Hancock Street, Unit 54
Philadelphia, PA 19123

Max Brew Bar & Cafeteria in Northern Liberties is owned by the same group of owners who own Red Zone and the new Volstead.

Today for brunch I was invited by the owners to sample their new brunch menu and to check out their venue in the Piazza out in Northern Liberties.

The space is very nice and in the heart of the Piazza.  The eagles game was on tv but due to the current season and the slightly cooler weather the outdoor space was rather deserted.

Indoors the bar has a plethora of tvs for game watching and spaciously arranged seating for relaxing with friends.  The brunch will offer a buffet, standard brunch menu, and an option for 20 dollar all you can drink mimosas and bloody marys.  For Sunday game watching, its a nice addition to the area for places to go for Sunday football and other athletic viewings.
