What happened to my favorite place for YEARS. Dee's was literally the best around for so long..
— Tiffany Thomas

Ordered for pickup. The egg drop soup was super watery, and the crab Rangoon’s were terrible.
— Jack Hallier

Might be a lot better in the restaurant but the delivery was nothing special at all.

What 140+ diners say about Dee's

Come here to go back to the early 90s when Chinese Food was still considered adventurous eating. Order the pot stickers steamed so that you have a guilt free "healthy" appetizer. Get the fancy green beans and of course the mo shu 🥞

“Food was forgotten and rushed.”

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.”

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.”

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.”

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!

“Dees is a Lincoln Park classic.”

Dees is a Lincoln Park classic. Absolutely delicious menu top to bottom. Big shout outs for the crab rangoons, wasabi dumpling, potstickers, and basil sauce entree with mixed veggies. Dee is a sweetheart and we love supporting her and this fantastic restaurant!

“This is the best Chinese food I have ever eaten - and I LOVE Chinese food.”

This is the best Chinese food I have ever eaten - and I LOVE Chinese food. We are visiting from Iowa and were thrilled to find this gem. We ate the crab Rangoons, sesame chicken, potstickers, kung pao shrimp, and basil beef dish. We will 100% be back the next time we visit Chicago. We ate it so fast we don’t even have photos!
