Better to get the sushi than the Chinese. Dee's has both Chinese and Sushi menus. It makes you think about the "Jack of all trades, master of none" phrase. Here it's only like that to an extent. The sushi is pretty damn good and not expensive for as much as you can get. A lot of good stuff but mostly the sushi is the only thing you ever need to try, because that's what it's known for. It seems most people are complaining about the Chinese food in the reviews. The obvious reason why to get sushi! Last time they were only doing carryout. We got a couple rolls. It's about $6 for each. The first one was the Avocado Maki. It's basic looking. The avocado was creamy and fresh, so it was about as good as you can get for this. Rolls are also a good size and filling. The other one was the Oshinko Maki. Also good. It has a vegetable that's almost like a radish. The oshinko is pickled so it tastes vinegary. As for the Chinese food, I haven't tried any yet but maybe some day. This doesn't seem like it's worth it by what I've heard about it. For the price it's pretty good. It seems like the sushi is better than the Chinese food, according to many who have eaten here. The rolls are pretty big and there's lots to choose, from either the basic ones or more expensive specialties.

Holy duck! Shut the front door - then slam the back door, bolt the side door, close the attic and the cellar! After 40+ years of dining, I've finally found Duck Nirvana! Not only did Dee's Crispy Duck live up to its billing as "crispy", but it was wonderfully flavorful, butter tender, juicy and plentiful. Dee explained how they lovingly massage the duck, over and over, with spices before a quick sous-vide like preparation prior to her signature flash-fry. What you're left with is simply perfection, all for a mere $17. Sure, her Egg Rolls ($6) are amazing - massive, infant-sized blisters of wonderfulness that are artfully crammed with large pieces of shrimp, chicken and vegetables. And you won't find one drop of grease on the plate. Not to be outdone, the Shrimp Toast ($7) was enough to share with our four-top as we dined outside on the back patio during a recent summer evening. I'm pretty sure our friends enjoyed their meals as well, chasing the huge plates down with two bottles of silky, unfiltered sake - but I was too focused on my duck to really pay attention. Enjoy!

Stopped in here to grab some take out, and thought it was pretty good. Our take out was ready on time, so that is always a good start. We ordered the crab rangoon, orange chicken, a yellowtail roll and a salmon roll to split between two people. Crab Rangoon - 5 in the order, stuffed super full, these were really goodOrange Chicken - interesting because it was a cut up chicken breast and not individually fried, could have been spicier but still good - probably should have gotten a second rice with thisSushi Rolls - these were good, 6 pieces per roll, not as good as specifically sushi places, but since this is mainly an entrees place, I wasn't expecting too much. Rice was a little much to fish portion, but the fish was good.It doesn't rank as high with me as some of the other places I've had, but still good food and a nice variety on the menu. Portions also weren't overwhelming, we probably could have ended up adding the egg rolls and still eating them.

The worst Chinese garbage I have ever had. Fried rice, Mongolian chicken, and garlic shrimp.. so dry and flavorless it was like eating sand in the Sahara desert. Not to mention the ridiculous amount of salt.70 bucks for that miserable excuse for food. I would not serve this crap to my worst enemy .. even the homeless who live on my sidewalks threw it in the gutter. Run, don't walk away.. and save your money.

Came highly recommended from a friend, so based on that and the reviews, they can't be all bad -- but Dee's was not for me. Their Mongolian chicken had a thick, mealy cornstarch coating unlike I've ever experienced. I don't plan to order from Dee's again.

We ordered the general T's, beef & broccoli, and crab Rangoon. The meat was soggy and mealy and the crab Rangoon filling was a weird crab potato mixture that was pretty flavorless. It was so much more expensive than our tried and true delicious place we usually order from, so this one is definitely a bust.
