Sang Kee Peking Duck House has been in Philadelphia's Chinatown since 1980.  They offer take out along with sit-in dining.  Duck is their specialty but the Chinatown spot also does soups, noodles, and many dishes very well.

Tuna Bar is a new Japanese raw bar created by owner and executive chef Kenneth Sze.
For dinner and the best introduction to the new restaurant, we went with the Omakase tasing (Chef's Tasting)

Definitely a recommended Japanese restaurant to recommend and a welcome addition to the Philadelphia food scene.

Checked out the raw bar at Oyster House.  We went late Saturday for their buck a shuck special, which also runs during the week at normal happy hour times.  Raw bar is worth checking out in Philadelphia and the cocktails were good as well

El Limon Lunch 2014-01-24

El Limon is officially one of my favorite Mexican restaurants in the Philadelphia area.  Located in Conshy, the small restaurant is contently packed for lunch at noon.  For a work day lunch break, El Limon is now the hot spot for corporate employees in the area.

Chicken tortilla soup was the special.  My party also ordered the standard classic burritos and a taco and sopas.  Pictures should do the meal justice.

I visited Square Peg on a Saturday night with a large party.  Initially we were a party of 9 but by the time we actually arrived at the restaurant the party was 12.  They still accommodated us with a table and we partook in food and drink.

Overall the cocktails were good and most of the food was decent.  Some of my party said that a few of their dishes were a tad generic but nothing was bad or unpleasant to eat.  My onion rings were under seasoned in my opinion but thats my only critique.

The patte was pretty good and the grilled cheese with mac and cheese with tomato soup was popular among my dining party.  It was well received.  Lastly the tater tots were enjoyed by my friends as well and had favorable reviews.

Both egg white cocktails were very good.  I recommend the Almost Sunny in Philadelphia.
