I was a regular at Full Kee (not related to Full Key except phonetically) in Chinatown back in my working days. It’s gone alas, but Fully Key in Wheaton has much the same menu, including my favorite, the Hong Kong style noodle soup with shrimp dumplings, or with roasted duck . We went to Full Key over the weekend and boy is it good! Here’s the soup, minus a cup or so of broth I shared with Nancy.
Wow, that takes me back. I lived in DC in 1991-93 and had one of the worst first dates ever at Full Kee. I picked the restaurant and upon hearing that it was a Chinese place, the guy in question said “OK, I like crab rangoon.” I had the baby octopus. There was no second date.
