Dee's is below average folks. Not even close to good, subpar for sure. We thought we'd give Dee's a shot, they're in our new neighborhood. I read over some of the reviews prior to eating Dee's and found that I do not agree with a number of the more positive rated reviews. It seemed that there was a lack of flavor and freshness.

We try out new restaurants often and of course we have our favorites. In this genre, we prefer Ben Pao- real good food. Even the chicken fried rice at BP is fantastic. Sometimes, it's better to stick with your favorites.

We will not order from Dee's again.

Fresh chicken!. This restaurant uses fresh, as opposed to frozen / packaged, chicken. The food tastes much better than the other Chinese take-out restaurants that I had frequented. The entrees cost a few dollars more, but the extra quality is definitely worth it.

dees - best chinese food in chicago. to the lady who had the horrible experience with the hostesses, i am in a room with a group of people and read your rant to them, and no one can believe someone as whiny as you exists - what happened to you is not a big deal whatsoever, a simple mistake and the fact that you had write a negative review when you normally don't write reviews is simply pathetic.

i love dees since the first time i tried it, i think the szechuan beef is the one of the best dishes i ever had anywhere. one of the reviewers recommended the sesame shrimp - never had it, but i am looking forward to trying it tonight.

WORST HOSTESSES EVER!. I never write reviews, but I was so mad about my experience at Dee's recently. My reservation was made over a week ago and I checked the day of to make sure it was ok. I arrived for my reservation 2 minutes after my reservation time. I asked if I was the first person and they said yes. I waited for 20+ minutes. Finally a woman asked if I was with the large party in the back. I looked and everyone was there waiting for me to arrive (since i organized the dinner). I was SHOCKED and ABSOLUTELY FURIOUS, although I didn't make a big scene in front of my guests. Food is good, I have to admit, but this place left a sour taste in my mouth and I'll have to rethink to come back. If a guest has the courtesy to make a reservation, he/sheshould not be given wrong information and left waiting. The hostesses were so caught up with their carry-out orders, they don't even care about guests who actually come in to dine. AWFUL!

Always a winner. I really enjoy Dee's evertyime I order it. I have only had it delivered, but am looking forward to eating at the restaurant in the future. The sesame chicken is great, lots of fresh broccoli and great flavor. My favorite chinese food in the city.
