Dee's Mandarin

This Lincoln Park restaurant offers the best of both worlds – Chinese cuisine and a great sushi bar in a more romantic and cozy setting than its Chinatown competitors. Dee's has live jazz music playing, dimmed lighting with candles, modern food presentation, a fireplace and comfortable booths. On warm evenings, you can dine in their lovely outdoor garden area. The menu's Mandarin and Szechuan entrees include both mild and spicy dishes. The Mongolian Beef gets rave reviews, but other good picks are the kung pao chicken, the crab rangoon, or the mooshu pork. The authentic sushi bar offers only the freshest fish.
