    Fantastic Spicy Shrimp!
    Jamie M.

    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!

    Featured (starting at bottom left): Mongolian beef; dumplings; crab Rangoon; twice-cooked pork.

    Nothing to write home about. I got delivery, which came sooner than estimated, so I can't comment on the in-restaurant service. My girlfriend and I ordered the crab rangoon, dumplings, mongolian beef, and twice-cooked pork. Initial impression, I wish the entrees came with more sauce; I like to pour sauce onto my white rice. Otherwise, the entrees are good; just not great. The dumplings were tasty. However, I did not care for the crab rangoon too much. They were doughy and did not come with duck sauce, which is necessary in my book. Also, instead of a creamy filling, it was more dry. Again, not bad tasting; just not great.

    Sesame Sauce chicken

    My new fave place for takeout since moving to Chicago! I've gotten the sesame chicken twice now. Delivery through grub hub was on time, and the food was still hot! I love supporting the locally owned business. The owner even made bento boxes for the hospital workers during the height of the pandemic such an awesome place!

    Mexican and Spring roll
    Sarah M.

    Dee! You gave me my most favorite meal during a recent trip to Chi city. Everyone was beyond nice from the hostess to our server and it created the most joyful time! After ordering 2 rolls all to myself. I decided to needed to slow my roll and not order an appetizer. But, when I saw the hot and sour soup come out for some of my friends, my eyes got real wide and they asked me if I wanted to try a bite... Nope. I'll get my own. And I slurped it down. Fellow Yelp friends, this is was the best hot and sour soup I've ever in my life. The consistency was perfect and the spice was just enough to make me want to drink my beer a little quicker... which made for a better night all around. My favorite roll ordered was the Mexican Roll. With tuna, cilantro, cucumber, avocado, jalapeño, masago, spicy mayo, and lime it was a unique (and quite filling) experience. Nobody (not even myself) better never ever tell me to slow my roll at Dee's.

    This is an excellent sushi place - great vibe, young crowd, and terrific food…read more We started with the roasted edamame and the tempura shrimp, followed that with three rolls, and finished with sashimi - it was all excellent, the beers were very cold, and the service was solid (not excellent but very good for the price point) Prices are not cheap but not as crazy as some other places (Juno is better, but it can get really pricey). Sushi-San is Defintely on our regular list

Seating was comfortable. I tried their express lunch menu, which is a great option if you're here during lunch time. You get to pick 3 items from the list and I chose tako taco (a little spicy but highly recommend- one of my favorite things that day), salmon avocado (I'm not a personal fan of the Meyer lemon sauce), and tuna avocado rice bowl. Each item is smaller portioned but all together it's a substantial lunch set. I also tried the express sushi and sashimi lunch set, which comes with a delicious seaweed salad which I would order on its own as an appetizer. The lunch set comes with their "oh-my-kaze." This includes salmon, hamachi and tuna. One piece of tuna was substandard and had a big piece of sinew in it. Our server quickly switched it for another piece. The only dish I would skip is the Peking duck sizzling rice. The taste was fine- a little on the sweeter side with the hoisin sauce but the portion was more of an appetizer size. It's also not a true Peking duck, which focuses on a crispy duck skin and this dish just featured duck meat.

We wanted to have some sake and asked for help. Their sommelier was very helpful and recommended the Snow Tiger Yuki Tora which is unfiltered and looks like milk, but it went beautifully with our food. We started with Edamame which had a perfect char. The grilled Avocado was a pleasant surprise with the char flavor and great spicy sauce. You get a spoon to scoop out the avocado and it's sliced so it works with chop sticks. By the way everything is great for sharing which gives everyone a chance to try the wonderful menu. Then we attacked the main menu. The Wagyu Nigiri, the must have Bluefin Tuna Crispy Rice, Crispy Spring Rolls and I drank the juice with the Hamachi and Lemon. Now it's time to figure what's next! spicy Tuna roll, triple tuna roll, the incredible Wild Mushroom sizzling rice bowl and it is sizzling! We're nearing the end! The Unagi and the Black Cod couldn't have been any better. It melted in our mouths. Think we're finished, we saved room for dessert! The Miru-Ishi and Black Sesame Mochi. We're finished! Maria was a great server and was very attentive!

My only critique is the pacing. Since the chef already had the fish sliced and prepped, I expected a smoother flow, but the meal took about an hour and a half for 14 pieces of sushi. It felt a bit slow, especially for a lunch service. That said, if you're looking for a reasonably priced omakase with quality fish, this is a solid choice.

Both were great. Our bartenders were lovely and very friendly. Found out this is a Malort tasting room and we were able to sample some different Malorts (the cocoa one was good!). Then we were taken back to our table for dinner. Our server was super friendly as well. Started with the miso soup and crispy tuna bites which were probably my favorite dishes. The taki yoki fritters weren't bad either. We saw people getting omakase, so we ordered a yummy looking piece they were receiving. It was just okay (chutoro truffle). The nigiri was also okay. The tuna piece was the only I really loved. The fish quality wasn't as high as I was expecting. The sushi was decent. A little too much truffle in the spicy blue fin tuna and a little too vegetable forward in the hamachi serrano. All in all, the atmosphere and amazing service pushed this up to a 4 for me.
