A huge disappointment. First time ordering will be my last. Less rice than other restaurants (maybe it b/c of the sale) which wasn’t good at all. Very salty is all I could taste. Chicken balls were mostly batter, very little chicken. Honestly not worth even the sale price. Didn’t finish the meal. Don’t waste your money.
The service was somewhat great, she seemed to also be doing some of the cooking. My son was served his main dish about 3mins before I got mine. The food was very fresh, hot and delicious. And, again our server was very sweet. The atmosphere sucked. It is definitely worth a try if you like Chinese, just get take away/out.
I just came from here. I thought I'd treat my kids and myself. I should have turned around when I saw how dirty the 'clean' tables and the cutlery were. I didn't. The egg rolls were appalling. My kids (13 and 8) refused to eat them. I got the chicken Foo young that was SO SALT I couldn't eat more than a little bit. Coming from someone that actually likes salty foods. My son had the beef and broccoli (the beef was weird, like slimy bubblegum). The only lucky one was my 8 year old who got chicken nuggets and fries. I've been throwing up since we left there. For real, do not go here. I am so sick and have such belly pains it's crazy. Will never go here again. Disgusting
We thought we would give Dekies Chinese Restaurant a try and we were not disappointed! We had a big lunch so we were not overly hungry so my wife and I ordered an order of Singapore Noodles to share between us. I ordered wonton soup and my wife ordered hit and sour soup to start. My daughter ordered sweet and sour chicken balls with chicken fried rice with a spring roll which she really enjoyed and she is a picky eater. The service was quick, and efficient. The restaurant was clean and tidy. The food was served hit and it was very tasty. The wonton soup had a good portion of good sized wontons and the soup was so good I actually drank the remaining soup even after I ate the wontons and other ingredients. Their Singapore noodles was different than the typical Singapore noodles, but in a good way. There was a good amount of bean sprouts in it which gave it a fresh crunch that you typically don't get in Singapore noodles, and the portion was more than adequate which I was also impressed with (just look at the picture which speaks for itself). Their prices were also very reasonable so we will be back to visit for sure. I spoke with the owner who also invited us back to their buffet which is on Sundays. I would love to try it but I typically work on Sundays so it will probably be awhile before I get to try it, but if it is anything like the food we had, I think it is worth while checking out. Keep up the great work and hospitality! It is noticed by your customers! 👍👍
Went today with the family for all you can eat. It was the first time going and was unsure how it would be but it was sooooo good. I forgot to take a pic of my first plate ( I ate it to fast because it taste so good). It was 4 adults and 2 (picky) kiddos. All of us loved it. My only complaint which isn't a complaint is that I wish there would of been chicken balls and and egg dish.. but honestly it wasn't to missed. They kept bringing out hot fresh food the whole time we were there. The service was excellent as well. Counting down till next time we go.
Order dinner for five tonight, all my family & kids love it specially General Tao chicken had spicy favorite tasted. Other restaurant just sweet. Beef & broccoli, honey garlic ribs & egg rolls, they’re the best to & my favorite dish General Tao chicken & egg rolls, food are so fresh usually order from may garden! Dekies is our favorite place now. High recommend to try it out!
Great customer service. Huge portions. I've also never had honey garlic ribs from a Chinese restaurant that have more meat then fat till these. And the ginger beef is delicious. My new favorite!
Unbelievably big portions, delicious food and friendly staff. Dekies was a huge hit in my house.. The chicken balls have more chicken then coating, mountain-high portions of fresh rice and AMAZING egg rolls... We were happy to see our Beef and Broccoli had generous amounts of beef. The inside of the restaurant is clean, open, and a happy atmosphere. We will definitely be back- more than once! :-)
This was my first visit. I ordered the General Tso chicken lunch special. The chicken came out nice and hot from the kitchen. Portions over all were small- even the rice. Server was friendly. The chicken was heavily battered hiding the fact that a small amount of chicken was used. Won t be returning.
Just done-in for lunch with my wife, this s our first time in Dekies, the restaurant looked great, service & food come fast & very friendly staff we ll be back sometime.
Good food
Only tried this once for a chicken fried rice. Very economical and great quantity. Could definitely visit again for the buffet
i had a combo plate with an additional beef and broccoli , it was sooo good!!! it was fresh and the portion was huge!!! price was also great!! definitely my go to for chinese!!!
Very good food, nice quantity for price. Except the beer...8 for a single olands. Vegetarian options: They curse and yell at the vegetables till theyre angry and delicious...chef made an onion cry! Dietary restrictions: If youre seafood/shellfish allergic, they got you covered. Very safe. Ive delivered lots of stuff from them to friends that are highly allergic and its my go to.
We love your food, specially the egg roll and C6 best in sackville
We order Dekies tonight 2 combo & 2 extra egg roll, its amazing food & best egg roll in town. Is our favorite place now.
My favourite little secret for good fresh affordable Chinese food. Get the General Tso chicken or lemon chicken, highly recommended.
Dont waste your time or money. Food was bland service was not much better.
We ordered take out, combination plates. Happy with the portion sizes and we enjoyed the food.
Worst eevveeryuk
We order 3 combo last night & 3 extra egg rolls, C3, C6 & C8 the quality are fabulous & veggie are so fresh my favorite dish beef & broccoli , spicy chicken & egg rolls, we use to order in Kingstown but they change owner we find the food are different then before, quality are less, we give Dekies a try, but 100% good then we thought.
First time ordering lunch for take out. Great food, good portions and price. Will order again.
They serve great food. I love the vegetables, they really are tasty plus the staff are accomodating
Good food, good service. Will definitely go back.
It was clean and cozy. The food was yummy and service was friendly.
Went in yesterday for lunch. We were the only people eating in. Waited 20 minutes for a pot of tea!!! I was given a cold drink paper cup to drink it from. When the food arrived, it was in a styrofoam take out container and served with plastic cutlery. The veggies were good. Never again will I eat there!
For the price point, you wont get better chinese
Great food service and portions.
great food
Buffet was really good, buffet takeout option is a good idea. I ate way too much. Staff was all very friendly. Bathroom could use a renovation.. doesnt impact the dining experience tho haha.
Horrible food. We sent it back, its replacement was worse. We were still charged full price! The Manager said there was nothing he could do. We spend $40 and didnt eat. Avoid this place at all costs! We tried this place for the first time today, and it was abysmal. We should have gone further down the street to the next place. Gross!!!
I love this place. One of the very few buffets left in the HRM. They even do take out buffet for a great price.
Been here multiple times with my family. Sit down service is always friendly and warm. The food is always delicious! I recommend the deep fried wontons! So happy they are open for takeout/delivery during the Stay At Home Order. Great value for the amount of food you receive! It s my favourite place in Sackville!
Friendly staff, they sell the best egg rolls and honey garlic pork ribs in all of Halifax. We recommend this restaurant!
Very tasty and very generous portions. Super friendly staff and quick preparation. We even got a coupon to use on our next visit. Dekies is a nice experience at a great price.
Hot and sour soup was very big and was good
Dined in today, the place looks extremely run down, we were sat at a table that looked like it had been found in an abandoned house or something. The server was nice, but took 10 mins to bring us menus, which were paper and had definitely been used before. (there were only two tables of people in there including my friend and I). Asked what we wanted to drink, we said water...got two warm waters in paper cups. I ordered a lunch combo ($8) and asked if it was possible to get chow mein instead of fried rice, she said sure, no problem, said nothing of an extra charge. The food did come pretty fast, so that was nice, and the portions were good. The chow mein was actually really good... But the egg roll tasted like nothing and was very doughy, and the sweet and sour chicken was basically 95% dough and 5% little chewy piece of chicken. Finally she brought the bill and told me that because I substituted my rice for chow mein, I now had to pay $12 instead of $8... can say for certain I wont be back.
Terrible service, server takes forever to greet you and give the menus, then 15 min takes order I was about to leave. Then we get the food that wasn t that good she never ever came back to Give us our bill or anything we had to flag down the only other person working in there. Very bad service food is meh nothing like Yans
Huge portions, and treat tast. Try the Moo Goo Gai Pan! Lots of seats, and spacious interior.
I have been in a lot of different Chinese Restaurants all over N.S. , N.B. , PEI ,and NFL. I never had such fresh and delishes food, this good from anywhere. For a new Restaurant just getting started here in Lower Sackville, N.S. I say to you , Go and try them out. I am now a customer of theres Now ! YOU JUST GOT TO EAT HERE !!
DEKIES IS a fantastic Chinese Restaurant..The egg rolls are the ultimate..The lemon chicken was also..We have eaten there many times as well as having take out and have ALWAYS loved it every time. The staff is friendly and the young chef tries to make a point to come out and meet everyone.We absolutely love it and have recommended it to all of our friends..We have had many friends who have tried it and have all given us rave reviews as well..Please give Dekies try.You wont be disappointed.
Excellent food, (prepared fresh, vegetables are always fresh and crisp, which is very rare in Chinese food.) excellent service, very good prices! By far the best Chinese food in the Lower Sackville area.
Absolutely no gluten free options , and unwilling to even discuss the topic. Get with the times, especially when most other restaurants in the area have lots!
Food was absolutely terrible!! We ordered two combination plates and the rice glistened with oil,the chicken balls werent cooked,the sauce served with the wontons was horrible. The egg rolls had no taste..pasty filling really bad. Will never go back. Spend your money somewhere else because this is not a good place to eat at all.
Go Peng chop suey better
I wanted to like this place. I really did.
Offers delivery on site, no driver to deliver order
New owners and new name. Its called Dekies now. Its a family business with great food and good prices. Very friendly staff.
I came in tonight for a relaxing dinner the waitress was sweet, but the owner came out as she was taking our order and started screaming at her for no reason she ended up getting our food then apologized for her boss, I will never go back to this place the owner treats his staff awfully and doesn t care if there are costemers in the restaurant. DONT GO HERE
Extremely disappointed with the new owners. We ordered take out tonight and brought it home and the chicken was soggy, no sauce for the rice and the deep fried wontons are paper thin and hard as a rock. Didn t realize this wasn t Yans anymore as it was my favourite Chinese restaurant. Took the food back and they refused to refund it. Complete waste of $50 and still have no dinner tonight. Will NEVER recommend to anyone.
Food and service were beyond awful. I would strongly advise against ever walking in there. The chicken tasted off, the rice was bland and hard and the lo mein subpar. Satisfy your Chinese food craving somewhere else!
About as bad as it gets for Chinese restaurants. Service was terrible and the food was even worse. If I could give it 0 stars I would. Wouldnt eat here again if I was starving.
My go to Chinese food. 10% for take out is awesome Try the Hunan Chicken!!
Good food.
As I love the food here I was not impressed with the level of maturity from Employer to Employees. I was being served when the male owner yelled at the young girls who were serving that night. He made them cry with no remorse. I felt awful for them, he doesnt seem to have respect for his employees or customers as he yelled at them in the kitchen too and we all can hear. Not impressed.
Food was excellent but service lost point. After my meal was served I only saw server when she delivered the bill and I was the only one in the restaurant
So we ordered The wonton soup , vegetable chow mein, mixed vegetables, beef in black bean sauce and general tsos chicken. We are over the moon with how good the food is! Since moving to Nova Scotia from Ontario in Sackville specifically we havent found good Chinese food and our search is over. The prices are fair, the service was great, I highly recommend this restaurant!!
Best in Sackville!
Deckies is a great family run restaurant. We were a group of eight whose discussion was about taste, quantity, and freshness, of the food. We shared about ten dishes and all comments were favourable. My favourites were the Singapore Vermicelli noodles and the spring rolls. The owner Peter and his family took time to come say hello. So to Peter, Mary, and Helen, thank you for making our dining experience memorable.
We wanted May Garden but no delivery and no Debit at the door. Decided to try Dekies as they delivered and have debit at the door. We were pleasantly surprised as the food was fantastic and the delivery service was on time and friendly. We definitely recommend Dekies and will be ordering from them from now on
Quaint and friendly restaurant. Had to stop in and try the menu. Tasty, inexpensive, and fast. How did I miss this before? Lunch specials and two-for-one meals are better value. Try them!
Excellent food and so much of it!
Mom left her phone there....got a message saying she left it there from staff. 300 dollar phone recovered is worth a 5 star review. Food - was great for Chinese food. Big portions too. Especially after long dragon turned downhill
The food is disgusting, full of msg, and has no flavor. Waitress was very snotty. Will never be back, nor any of my friends.
Food was sub par at best rice was over cooked, chicken balls were chunky inside and spicy chicken was pretty flavourless. Thought I d try the food there as the old owners under the name Yans the food was great but this will probably be my last time eating here.
Just spent $17 on a combo plate and after 3 bites had to throw the entire thing in the trash! I think they filled the tray with what was left from their Buffet. General Tao chicken was nothing but dough and the odd strand of some white stuff that they claim is chicken. Friendly staff! big portions! Thats where it ends! I will never go back! Makes Manchu Wok look like fine cuisine.
Great value for what you get at lunch! Very inexpensive and I always leave full and the food is delicious! The owners/workers are also all very friendly.
Excellent food very friendly folks
