Full Kee Restaurant, Washington, D.C.

After seeing The Simpsons Movie, we wandered down the street through a huge contingent of police cars and fire trucks, lights ablaze, all congregated under the Chinatown arch for no apparent reason to Full Kee Restaurant for a late night supper. Ryan had his usual sweet and sour chicken with what appeared to me to be commercial chicken patties. Robert had crab rangoon for an appetizer and the beef and scallops for his main course. I had the beef Peking style, consisting of strips of beef (that I thought were rather over-tenderized), mixed vegetables, and mushrooms, in a hot, spicy sauce. All of the main courses came with steamed white rice, and hot tea was complimentary. Full Kee is a "useful" restaurant, since it stays open until 2 a.m., though it has the disadvantage of being a cash-only place. I've not been there in a while, and it seems to me the prices have gone up a bit. That's unfortunate, since I thought the food quality to be rather unexpectedly mediocre Saturday night.
