Late-night Chinese; DC/Alexandria?

[cflaatten]

My boyfriend (a chef) and I used to frequent New Big Wong before it closed. Now we need a new late-night Chinese spot. Anywhere downtown or in Alexandria that is open until at least midnight, preferably with amazing dumplings?

While not Chinese, Yechon in Annandale is open 24 hours a day.

Jackey Cafe on H Street in Chinatown opens until the very wee hours, past 2 am on most nights. Most Chinatowns have such a late night locale where chefs and workers from other Chinese restaurants that close at conventional hours may congregate. There's one or two other places on that block that also open late, but I wasn't paying particular attention to which ones they were.

Not quite Alexandria, but Full Kee at Bailey's Crossroads is open until midnight during the week and later on weekends. Amazing is relative, but the food is consistently good.

Full Key in Chinatown is open till 2am. It's been ages since I've had dumplings there, though, so I can't comment on those.
