Support Displaced DC Chinatown Businesses: Full Kee & Gao Ya
Donation protected
On July 1, 2025, Full Kee Restaurant and Gao Ya Hair Salon are being evicted by Rift Valley Capital (RVC), which is refusing to extend their move-out date or provide relocation assistance. The businesses are being displaced to make way for a proposed 9-story luxury hotel.
With the recent closure of Jackey Cafe and the upcoming closure of Momiji, Full Kee and Gao Ya’s departure could leave Chinatown with fewer than 10 small, AAPI-owned legacy businesses remaining.
Share and donate to honor these beloved Chinatown businesses and contribute to their relocation costs. Donations will be divided among Full Kee and Gao Ya management and staff.
