Food was forgotten and rushed. Everything burnt or watery. Sesame chicken had no flavor and was in very watery sauce check video. Rice looked like it has meat in it and a bite taken out of it. Manager did not really care.

My family and I have been eating food from Dee's restaurant since 1988! It's my favorite Chinese comfort food! So many great memories and such delish food. I hope this restaurant continues serving this neighborhood for many more years to come.

Always top quality and delicious! Chinese food is take out only. The sushi is dine in or take out. This restaurant is definitely my "go to" for Asian food.

I've been eating at and ordering from Dee's longer than I can remember. The restaurant is closed now, but fortunately we can still order takeout. Consistently delicious! If I had to pick one single item on the menu to recommend, it is definitely the eggs rolls. Crispy on the outside, robustly filled, amazing flavor. Other favorites include the twice-cooked pork and garlic chicken.

Probably some of the best Chinese takeout I’ve had. The lemon sauce on the lemon chicken was so delicious! Plus quick service and very friendly staff. Great experience!

Best Chinese in the city!! Everything is fabulous but our favorites have to be the egg rolls, Mushu pork and Sesame chicken. Couldn’t recommend more!

Dee’s has been a family tradition for almost 40 years. A frequent date night for my parents in the 80s transitioned into a destination for the whole family, even after we moved to the western suburbs. I have nearly 30 years of memories from Dee’s. The orange chicken, the way they would use rubber bands to make the chop sticks easier for the kids, the savory pot stickers. Excellent food, amazing service, and very accommodating of peanut allergies. Go check it out!
