I’m not a regular customer but I do come here from time to time for lunch and dinner. And as I went today, very disappointed. As the bill came out they had already added tip. It’s not like I don’t tip or know my calculations, however I feel like they don’t deserve much of that amount. And on top of that their service was underwhelming. All they did was take the order, bring food out and came back asking how the food was. My job is also base on tip as well but I would not throw it out ony the table and demanding as much. Bottom line is they don’t deserve the tip and I will not return.

Rounded down from 3.3 This place was recommended to me as a good Chinese restaurant in the area. I went with a group of 12 people from China and they weren’t all that impressed, but they didn’t complain either. I liked it especially comparing to some other less impressive Chinese restaurants I’ve been to before. The staff here was super friendly and attentive. Service was also very quick despite our large group. My non Chinese friend and I shared pan fried dumplings, eggplant in garlic, walnut shrimp and some kind of a beef dish. The dumplings were bigger than most places and pretty tasty, but I’ve had better(in New York). The beef dish was good and chewy(wish I remembered the name). My least favorite was the walnut shrimp, it was just too sweet. My most favorite was the eggplant in garlic. I love in garlic in everything and this dish just made my day(it was a long day at work, ok?). One thing I really didn’t like was my dirty fork. It looked like it just had dried up food on it. Despite the dirty fork, I can see myself coming back to this place :)

Full Kee. Not half kee. Full Kee! Just go because the food is great. It’s a typical Chinese restaurant ambiance with the round family lazy-susan tables. You have to take a group with you so you can share several dishes and my family is full of guys that can chow-down so you know I eat well when we go out. I have loved everything except for the Seafood Chow Foon(funn) noodles. It was too white and gelatinous for my taste. Get the fried whole fish(flounder I think?) and the jalapeño pork chops. yummy yummy.

My wife and I been here many times. I love the Hong Kong style noodle soup. The roast duck is very similar to most Chinese restaurant. The staff are ok and the price is a bit pricy.

Décor is out of the 90s, but solid Cantonese food with decent prices. A mix of Americanized and authentic Cantonese, but like many of the reviews point out, the roasted meats and dumplings, are good. The black pepper beef, pan-fried noodles, and sauteed snow pea leaves were excellent; however, the salt-pepper pork chop had too much breading and was a little greasy.

I always come for Wonton Soup. I usually get it with noodles and roasted pork. Today I had general tsaos chicken. A good portion that left me full. The complimentary hot tea is always good before and after the meal. I find the soup to be most satisfying to me ealry afternoon after a night of drinks or late at night for a nice filling meal. Will definitely coming back.

I think this is a solid Chinese food place — I would recommend«real» chinese food vs. the Americanized ones because they don’t make those dishes very well. I’ve dined here a handful of times now, with various people and my Chinese mother loved it but my American boyfriend didn’t because of what I said above. Atmosphere: It has a big dining room, and an extra room on the side which looks fancy and can seat bigger parties. It’s usually pretty quiet in here, even with large groups. Food: Don’t get the General Tso’s Chicken or anything — it won’t be what you expect. But I recommend the«Roasted Duck Wonton Noodle soup» which has everything you can want on a cold snowy/rainy day. It’s a large portion so enough for 2 meals. It’s super delicious. The ramen/noodle in the soup leaves me wanting a bit more… it’s not ramen nor udon but something in between and it’s not as good as either of them. Surprisingly, not many Vegetarian foods(you’d think there’d be lots of Vegetables). I recommend the Mapo Tofu(specify no meat so they don’t put ground beef in there) and the Garlic Eggplant. Their dumplings were good and so was the soup. **Oh just beware that their English translation on the menu are largely incorrect. For example, you’ll see pictures of a dish on the menu but it won’t match any item on the menu… so sometimes, it might be better to just tell them what you want and they can match it up themselves.** Service: Relatively fast service — everything comes out super hot off the stove(watch your tongues!). They’re friendly and attentive. Lots of parking, convenient location. Get your human and pet groceries done and stop by for a good meal.

My family comes here a lot for our dinner outings and the food is consistently good. Our frequent dishes include beef pan fried noodles, lamb casserole, shrimp and walnuts with mayonnaise sauce, and chicken with ginger sauce. We need more fiber in our diets(note to self). We are usually like family when we come in. The staff is friendly and I see them approach other customers to check on them and see if they are enjoying their meals. It’s a great restaurant for Chinese/Cantonese style food.

It is a good place for family dine out. It offers Cantonese bbq and wonton soup. Today is a cool day. I could use wonton soup to warm me up. :-) the star of the dish is wonton. It has too much wonton wrap that is ‘glue’ together using more starch psste. Making the wonton unnessary chewy and tasteless. The ingredients wrapped inside has a very little portion, not ideal. 3* Comparing to the best in Dallas, Texas and those in LA in terms of wonton soup, i had an average one. However, the manager was really nice so customer service make up some of the loss star. 5*

Came here to get my chinese food fix. It’s my go to place for congee and chinese watercress vegetables! They have live lobsters in the restaurant, a good sign if you want to come for seafood. The place is always packed with asian folks, the servers are kind, price is alittle on the pricier side for chinese food, but it’s delicious :)

It’s comfort food, it’s good, but it won’t blow your mind. The fried bean curd was way too salty, and the Full Kee House special casserole was much too plain. The broth in the wonton soup was good, and so was the pan fried beef noodles(although, can you really mess up pan-fried noodles?) Compared to other Full Key/Kee restaurants, this one is perhaps on the lower end of my list. The food was good enough, and that’s about it. I do foresee coming here again because of its location — right smack near our area.

Full Kee is a very tasty Chinese restaurant. It has good food, not too greasy and not too much MSG. Two of my favorites are the Soy Sauce Chicken and Kingdom Spare Ribs. The price is decent and there is always no wait. They aren’t generally too busy and have lots of seating. Don’t expect great service because you won’t get it here. One Spanish guy with a Mohawk is great but besides that the others are pretty bad. The restaurant is really dirty and the chairs are so old and falling apart. The bathrooms are dreadful but that’s what I expect in a Chinese restaurant. Good food but not the best experience.

This is a great place to get New York style Cantonese food. I love their wonton noodle soup, congee(jook), roast duck, pan fried noodles. And the price is right. Other stand outs are the stir-fried lobster, the sizzling beef with green peppers, and crispy spicy pork chops. The price is good and the staff is friendly. Sometimes you get the chef on an off day and you might get the same dish slightly different, with a change of sauces or veggies that those are fewer than normal. I guess when you eat here as much as I do, you notice the little things. If the staff were a smidge more service-forward, this place would be top notch, but I still love the Chinese-Auntie experience I get there. Open till 2AM for your late night grub!

I ate here with my friend Wendy… and holy cow it was delicious and lots of food. Don’t let the empty tables fool you. The food is fantastic. I want to say I had general tsos chicken and it was fantastic. They really know how to cook there. I wish it had more vegetables but if I had asked they would have added more. My friend had hunan chicken and she really loved it… but I know for sure the crab rangoons were delicious. They also serve tea with the meal which is quite nice to start with. There is so much you could share or do it family style.

I’m a fan of Full Kee! This Chinese restaurant, located in the Trader Joe’s/Best Buy plaza off of Columbia Pike offers delicious fried rice. The menu offers Hunan Szechuan-style items as well as typical Americanized Chinese fare, such as soups, Hong Kong style BBQ, noodles, casseroles, chow food, congee, seafood/beef/pork/chicken entrees, etc. I’ve tried other items, but I only stick to their Fried Rice — they have vegetables, chicken, roast pork, beef, shrimp, and combination(shrimp/beef/chicken) style — I stick with their vegetable(filled with baby corn, carrots, broccoli, bean sprouts, and onions) and/or the chicken(generous amount of chicken and vegetables), and the generous amount is pretty crazy. Plus, it’s not greasy at all, and very fresh! I love adding some soy sauce and the chili oil to spice it up. No need to dine-in, as doing a carry-out is a breeze — just give them a call and it’ll be ready in about 10 – 15 minutes. The best part is, they’re opened late, so when you get a late-night craving, check them out! :D +Vegetable and/or Chicken Fried Rice(don’t forget soy sauce and the chili oil!) +call ahead for a pick-up +open late! :D

Want greezy Chinese food? Full Kee will give you just that. My boyfriend’s family and I dined at Full Kee this past weekend, and ordered a ton of dishes — lobster, jellyfish, stir-fried veggies w/squid and shrimp… the list goes on. In short, there was nothing that I particularly liked. Everything just tasted really garlic-y and oily. I was hungry at the beginning of the meal, but slowly lost my desire to eat as one greasy dish after the next kept coming to our table. Their fresh, steamed fish was the only dish that I really liked. Service was quick; the food came out crazy fast and our glasses were never empty. I can’t say that I’ll ever willingly come back to Full Kee again, but it seems to be a pretty popular restaurant as there were many, many tables of 6+ people. Definitely call ahead and make reservations if you’re dining with a large party.

Eh service, ya know. It’s a chinese place. What can you expect. But the food. Now that’s Unilocal worthy. Anything xa xiu related. They don’t skimp on the pork at all! Wonton noodle soup with roasted pork. That is all! Do it.

3 things. 1. Don’t expect to be served on your time. They’ll get to you when they’re damn good and ready. It isn’t on your time, so don’t expect it to be. 2. Food is decent. For what I tried, I think they can cook some good Americanized Chinese cuisine. 3. Just go to Peking Gourmet Inn down the street. It’s only .6 miles and a lot more enticing and willing to serve you than they are here.
