I would have given this Full Kee NO STAR if I could.
PLEASE DO NOT COME HERE & GET robbed by this restaurant.
We are from Maryland where there is another Full Kee that we know is quite satisfactory.
Last Saturday on 9/10/22, we happened to be in Falls Church, Va., and we decided to get some carryout for the Mid-Autumn Festival celebration.
We were surprised that the restaurant was almost empty during Saturday lunch hours. We ordered 2 seafood dishes: 1) Scallop Stuffed Shrimp Paste in Black Bean Sauce (百花釀帶子) $21.95, and 2) Deep Fried Spicy Soft-Shell Crab (椒鹽軟殼蟹) $21.95. (see attached photos) When we paid for the food, they charge us $26.95 for each of the 2 dishes. I said they were $21.95 on the carryout menu. One waiter said the carryout menu is not up-to-date, they go by the dinner menu. Then another worker said even the dinner menu is not up-to-date and $26.95 is the latest unpublished price. I didn't want to start an argument, so I settled for the higher prices but I was unhappy.
When we got home and opened up the food, we got really mad because the food portions were VERY TINY (see pictures attached). For the first dish, they gave us only 6 small shrimp balls, approximately 1 1/2" in diameter. Inside each ball, there was one baby scallop, wrapped by "shrimp paste" which is pretty much imitation seafood. For the second dish, they only gave us two small size soft-shell crabs. When we consider they charged $26.95 for each one of these dishes, we really felt robbed.
I cannot figure out why Full Kee would treat their customers this way. They are practically telling us not to go back there for future business.
Maybe their business has been tough since the pandemic 2 years ago and they are trying to make up their losses by overcharging customers. But that is not right and not wise since they are basically telling customers not to go back there again.
