The food at Full Key is well prepared and the servings are generous. A dish of seafood pan-fried noodles is large enough to serve two persons. The noodles at the bottom absorb the juices and are soft and chewy, whereas the noodles on the side have a crunchy texture. The seafood includes shrimp, squid and scallops. The vegetables are Chinese broccoli, sliced carrots, and mushrooms.
The stir-fried snow pea leaves with garlic are very tasty. Of course, you must like garlic.
The Spicy pork chops is a platter of pork chops that have been battered and deep fried, topped with stir-fried chopped green onions and green peppers. The plate is garnished with orange slices and sprigs of cilantro.
