Staying in tonight, 77 H? Why not order Chinese food takeout from Full Kee, a popular eatery located right near the Gallery Place Chinatown metro stop. Full Kee offers an affordable, extensive menu of Chinese fare favorites, from chow fun and lo mein to dumpling soups and wontons. Still, many might argue that the specialty at Full Kee is the shrimp dumpling noodle soup, in which made-from-scratch shrimp dumplings swim in a flavorful broth alongside greens and roast pork.

If you’d rather eat at the restaurant, there is a small seating area inside that is decorated with traditional Chinese decor and kept quite clean and cozy. A weekday lunch special offers a range of dishes at just $7, and Full Kee is even open late — until 2 a.m.! — so that you can satisfy your after-hours cravings.
