The only challenge is the parking lot—it can be a bit tricky to find parking when its busy—but once you’re inside, the meal absolutely makes up for it. Definitely worth the visit for classic Cantonese comfort food.
The portions are large and filling, we always have leftovers. They use good, large cuts of meat and everything is flavorful.
Dining in: it’s small but a really nice experience. They were AMAZING with my small kids and anticipated our needs. Hot tea and great service = definitely coming back!
Favorite dishes have included the combination lo mein, General Tso’s, and roast pork (a 1/2 lb is a great addition for noodle dishes).
I wasn’t a huge fan of their sesame chicken, but that’s a personal preference that I only reference for myself to remember when I inevitably order again soon!
The popularity of this restaurant is evident the moment you step inside. It is always filled with customers, no matter the time of day. Whether it’s lunchtime or dinner, there is an unmistakable energy created by the bustling atmosphere, the sound of conversations, and the aroma of freshly prepared food that fills the air. Despite the constant crowds, the staff manage to maintain a friendly and efficient service, which enhances the overall dining experience.
Personally, I love to enjoy their roasted duck with egg noodles, a combination that, to me, feels perfect. However, one small curiosity has remained with me: the restaurant does not sell the noodles separately. I have never really understood why, as many customers, myself included, would enjoy the option of ordering the noodles on their own. Still, this minor detail does little to overshadow the incredible quality of their signature duck dish.
After more than a decade of dining here, I can confidently say that this restaurant has earned its loyal following. With its superb roasted duck, lively atmosphere, and enduring consistency, it remains a true culinary treasure that I will continue to return to again and again.
Some wait when we come at 5pm
PS. Another good thing, Full Key restaurant closed hour is quite late, great for people who is looking for late dinner.
Edit — been back twice now. Really good food. My only suggestion is to get the timing right, because there can be a wait for tables. I loved coming here with friends and sharing dishes to be able to try lots!! Big portions. My favorites are the pork belly, sweet and sour chicken, the eggplant dish, and the sesame chicken! I always ask for extra rice for leftovers!
Food was so good – we cleared every single plate!!! My parents really really happy with the meal and every single thing we got. This is definitely some of the best Chinese in the DMV. Our server was so so nice she kept checking in on our table and even cracking jokes about we wanted yet another place of fried rice.
The restaurant is an intimate dining room yet feels like there’s plenty of room for guest. I love seeing a lot of families, group of friends, and people by themselves enjoying a cozy meal.
We shared a meal and 2 wonton soups. Excellent
A must try… very authentic Hong Kong foof.
I recommend trying the BBQ meats.
My favorite was the chicken – it was super flavorful, moist, and tender! The beef chow fun (乾炒牛河) had good wok hay and was well-seasoned. Can’t go wrong with the sweet and sour pork either. Very crispy and moist pork!
Only small nitpick – the gai lan was a little too crunchy/tough for my preference.
