Sang Kee, a popular restaurant in Chinatown, has been shutdown indefinitely by the city due to electrical problems.

The headaches at Sang Kee started years ago but really ramped up Friday when water damage and steam pouring from a pipe caused so many electrical problems that the city shut it down. Now, the owners are hoping for a Christmas miracle."I watched 'Elf' last night, so I don’t know if it will help, but it was funny and it gave us a little smiles, laughs," said Henry Chow of Sang Kee restaurant.

It’s for the whole Philadelphia community, and the outpouring of support has just been unreal," he said."I’m devastated. I really love this place. This is the only place I come to in Center City to get Chinese food—the best food, the best service," said Layla from North Philly.Loyal customers of the more than 40-year-old restaurant kept coming all day, shocked by news of the shutdown.
