Meal Ticket dropped by Sang Kee's brand-new location for a quick dinner last night. Located on the ground floor of the University City Sheraton (3549 Chestnut St., 215-387-8808), Michael Chow's third restaurant (he's got the venerable original at Ninth and Vine, as well as the more upscale bistro in Wynnewood) is designed with collegiate crowds in mind, with ample seating (place was slammed when we ate), warp-speed service and a sleek approach to the d�cor. Pull up a swivel seat at the polished-granite noodle bar, facing a bustling open kitchen, and you can enjoy a little TV with your noodles and broth � yeah, we watched a little AFV last night, so what?

The menu is huge, featuring noodle dishes, rice bowls, traditional entr�es and a big selection of drinks, including bubble tea. (Check it out in full here.) Prices top out at $16. We rocked out with some classic can't-lose soups � roasted duck with egg noodles and shrimp dumplings with egg noodles � plus crispy coconut shrimp with a creamy mango dipping sauce.

Chow's further targeting the student crowd with lots of dealage, including a half-off coupon if you sign up for the restaurant's mailing list and a $8-$9 three- or four-item lunch deal.

Opening hours: Sun.-Thu., 11:30 a.m.-9:30 p.m.; Fri.-Sat., 11:30 a.m.-10:30 p.m.
