Busy, busy times for Michael Chow as he uses August to open two Sang Kee restaurants.
Friday, Aug. 12 is the grand opening of Sang Kee Noodle Bowl at 4755 West Chester Pike in Newtown Square (610-353-5353), which was last Parker's Prime.
Chow is a consultant on the restaurant for Win and Sutida Somboonsong, who own such western-suburbs spots as Thai Pepper in Ardmore, Teikoku in Newtown Square, Azie in Media, and Azie on Main and Mixx in Villanova.
Chow told me that he is looking at a late-August opening of Sang Kee Noodle Cafe, a small (40-something-seat) joint in Premier Plaza, on Kings Highway just off Route 70 in Cherry Hill. It was a bookstore years ago.
Besides the Sang Kee in Chinatown, which he opened in 1980, he has locations in Wynnewood, University City, Reading Terminal Market, and Bensalem's Parx Casino.
