Congee - Full Kee is a great Chinese place with good dim sum and wonderful congee, barbecued duck and red cooked pork. It's not always tame, nor is it always spic and span or tidy -- but the dim sum cart is very, very entertaining, and if you like "real" Chinese food then this is the place for you. The chicken feet are also wonderful. If you don't like bao (pork buns), maybe there's something amiss with your approach to gastronomy? Diners wanting bland American style "Chinese" food like orange chicken or "chop suey" will do better at the Peking and in any case would do well to please leave the seats at Full Kee to those of us who like real Chinese food, especially on the weekends when seating is at a premium.
Used to be, one had to drive to DC to visit the restaurant with two doors to see a real Chinese menu -- or to taste real Chinese food. Not since Full Kee opened.
Although there is not much reason to call ahead, the telephone number is (804) 673-2233.
I HAD A GREAT BOWL OF CONGEE WITH ROAST PORK, to which I added some stir fried Chinese vegetables. LL seemed a bit uncomfortable with the Chinese family atmosphere, slovenly housekeeping, and food that was strange to her. The dim sum cart frightened her -- too much stuff that she found very strange.
. I have no idea what the name means. -- Christian Gehman
