Service was top-notch--water was constantly refilled, and the staff checked on us regularly without ever being overbearing. The salt-and-pepper seafood trio was nicely cooked, flavorful, and had a great crunch. The pea shoots will be a re-order every time we come back. The beef chow fun had the aroma of wok hei, but unfortunately lacked flavor and was the only disappointing dish of the night. They were also out of roast pig. The kids loved the sweet-and-sour chicken. My son called them "fancy chicken nuggets." The sauce had a nice tang without being overly sweet, even though the kids barely touched it. Still on the hunt for a truly smoky beef chow fun, but Full Kee is now our go-to for Cantonese comfort food.

I tried a couple of places in Wheaton in the 3 years I lived here, but the very best was Full Key. I only visited one time on Saturday, July 20, 2018 on a date. It just so happened to be the rainiest July day since 1970 in DC and 5th rainiest day ever in July, 6th after 2022 day had more. I lived a very close walk to this center, and I trudged out in the heavy rain with my biggest umbrella & rain slicker to meet up with my date. Service was prompt and cordial. Wow, this was one of the best Chinese I've had! As for the date, it was great. She was from one of the dating websites. We went on a 2nd date the very next day, but she ghosted me. Then, I came across her again online about 9 months later, and we went out on another date in May 2019. I asked her what happened, and she explained whatever excuse with personal stuff going on or whatever. All 3 of the dates were good, but she had her issues. In summary, in spite of my kind of weird date & such a rainy day going here, I'll need to take my girlfriend here to enjoy the outstanding food if we're ever in Wheaton hopefully under sunnier skies.

Let's set expectations: this isn't a fancy place, and it isn't trying to be. You walk in and…read morethere's a counter with a glass partition, and behind it -- ducks, chickens, whole cuts of pork, all the roasted meats hanging right there. That's the whole vibe, and for a spot like this, that's exactly what I want. If keeping things simple is how they keep prices reasonable, that's a trade I'll take every time. I'm here for the food. Came with my family yesterday after the internet spent months nagging me to try it. We got har gow, chicken feet, BBQ pork steamed buns, and the shrimp crepe rolls , plus the roasted meat platter with roast duck, crispy pork belly, and a honey-glazed BBQ that tastes like the five-spice you'd get on ribs. It was outstanding. The duck had real depth of flavor, the skin was perfectly crisp, and the meat was juicy and not the slightest bit dry. It comes sliced, and they'd taken out a lot of the bones, so it was easy to eat without working around anything. And the crispy pork belly was *genuinely* crisp , no sad chewy patches, no negotiating with it. Just a shattering top, tender underneath, all the way across. Nothing was overcooked, nothing was sloppy, everything seasoned like someone back there cared. Now the math. I usually go to Far East, which does have dim sum and which I do like , but they're only open Wednesday through the weekend now. Corner Bites is open all the time, which is how we ended up here in the first place. And once I was here, I pulled up Far East's menu to compare: every dim sum order at Corner Bites is about fifty cents cheaper, with bigger portions. That's not a rounding error, that's a pattern. They also do Peking duck, half or whole, and it's roughly $20-30 less than Peking Gourmet out by Seven Corners, the one everybody makes the pilgrimage to. Somebody near me ordered it and the staff talked it up. I didn't get it this time, but I'm coming back for it, because I would rather drive to Rockville than fight Northern Virginia traffic for a duck that costs thirty dollars more. Great food, fair prices, zero pretense. I'll be back.

The wontons with chili sauce were delicious exactly what you want from a good chili sauce: flavorful, savory, and with just the right amount of punch.

I could honestly eat several of these without thinking twice.

Coming from out of town, we drove in around 3:00 pm and didn't know if DimSum was still being served.

The Ambiance inside was very nicely decorated with Chinese Art and the waitress serving our table was very friendly and attentive. We really enjoyed our meals there and will be back again next time we are in town.

Very bland and I didn't really like the oyster sauce. The soup dumplings were good. Not anything to write home about, but I'd order them again. The squid was really flavorful and it was a good portion. I also had a giant pot of oolong tea which was delicious. They take Apple Pay as well and for less than $40 it wasn't a bad lunch. I'll be back to give it another shot for dinner.

We came around noon and waited about 10mins is less before having a table ready for a party of four. The hospitality was impeccable.

We were asked if we'd like to order or would we prefer to wait for the carts. While it did take a bit of time waiting for carts to grab the items we wanted the food was delicious! The crispy crab wontons were especially my favorite as they were light yet super crispy and airy. Many of the dishes were delicious and contain shrimp. The ambiance is pretty much family friendly yet fast paced. Although this place can be a bit overwhelming at first, the service is still quick and efficient.

This place really surprised me. After living in China for 5 years there are certain goods that I…read moremiss. Good noodles is one of them. I had high hopes since the menu includes intestines and other items that clearly are not meant for white customers. I am very happy to have a very tasty Chinese restaurant close to me. Dry pork noodles: These were the best IMO. Nice and spicy, with great flavors all around. I suggest getting the pork chop (add on) since there is not a lot of meat that comes with the dish normally. Beef noodle soup: Tasted very authentic and had a great broth. Thin slices of beef reminded me of real Chinese noodle soups. Spicy dry chicken noodles; Very similar to the pork noodles. What I really enjoy is that these are actually spicy dishes! I never had to add chili sauce!! Pork and chive dumplings: These were solid. The sesame dipping sauce is fine, but a mixture of Chinese vinegar (you rarely find this!) and chili sauce are good compliments. Cucumbers: These were more garlic-y then what I had in China, but are still good. Adding a little Chinese vinegar to them really takes them up a notch.

We ate family style and ordered the scallion…read morepancakes, the spicy sesame paste tofu, the spicy oil wonton pork, the chive and pork dumplings and the sesame balls (filled with red bean paste). Total (not including tip) came out to approximately $49. What's Hot - Menu. Excellent. It's also written in Chinese in addition to English. For those of us familiar with traditional ethnic Chinese food, a menu written in Chinese is a good sign. They have traditional Taiwanese and Chinese food like scallion pancakes, sesame balls, beef noodle soup, soup dumplings, etc... Very good variety and there appears to be something for everyone, possibly with the exception of vegan dishes.. - Quality. Pretty good. Their scallion pancake was soft, not too oily, and not too salty. I prefer the scallion pancake to have been a bit more thick and flaky, but that's my personal preference. To be fair, still delicious. Their chive and pork dumplings definitely had a delicious chive flavor. Substantial and the wrapper was not too thick. Their spicy sesame paste tofu had a good flavor and substantive. The chili oil wontons were not too spicy and had a good flavor. Again, my personal preference would have been for the dumplings to have been more substantive, but still pretty decent. - Service. Pretty good. It appears most, if not all their staffers, speak Chinese (Mandarin), which was also helpful, because I specifically ordered in Chinese. I asked them about the spice level, because I wanted to ensure it would not be too spicy for my friend. - Price. Pretty good value for menu and portions. - Location. It's pretty easy to find. Also within convenient walking distance to the Silver Spring metro. The inside space is pretty good. Tables can seat a minimum of 2, all the way up to 8. What's Not - Quality. The sesame balls are smaller than I expected. They're the rough approximation of a ping pong ball, maybe smaller. I was disappointed, because I like sesame balls that are substantial. - Service. I specifically asked for soup spoons, because we were eating dumplings. Instead, they gave me regular spoons. Not all the dishes come out in the order you hope. For example, main dishes may come out before the appetizers. This is going to be dependent on your personal preference. - Parking. There is parking near the restaurant, but it's going to be dependent on the day and time. Final Answer Worth coming back.

I had to stop myself from eating all 3 in one sitting :) -Fish dish was solid and enjoyed by the entire party MISSES -We ordered their pan fried noodles with beef and ended up with a really interesting version~. The noodles were so crispy that it was hard to break them apart to mix in with the sauce and toppings. There was also a fishy taste and beef tendon instead of regular beef slices. It wasn't my favorite. Overall, I think this place is pretty average. I miss New Fortune but hope this place does well.
