Vincent S.

Such a solid restaurant. Every time I go, I'm pleased with the food. It's very modern and very Long Beach, but at the same time, it doesn't take away from how good the food is. The dumplings are really good and the service on top of it all makes every visit worth while. Highly recommend.

Chili oil pork shrimp

My sister was craving Din Thai but we didn't want to drive to Costa Mesa as we were already in the plaza. We tried this place for the first time and WOW soooo impressed. While this place is missing a full bar and dessert options, it kinda makes up for it with this scallion pancake. I could eat a truck load of that let me tell you. I will absolutely be back. Service was quick and the waiter was very nice. Great location for shopping and grabbing a good meal. Get a cocktail menu and chocolate dumplings pleassse

5 out of 5 experience. Janelle treated the wife and I great. Food was so tasty and enjoyed every bite. Loved the setting too. Can't wait to go again.

Chicken fried rice
Hassan C.

This is probably my 10th time here and my kids and I absolutely love it made it to our top 2 restaurants all time tried their chicken fried rice and I promise it's the cleanest and tastiest fried rice I've ever had I also have to always have the chili oil dumplings they're phenomenal as well as the pickled cucumber and don't let me get started with the whole team here From the amazing Anne to her staff Rudy and Caesar ! Will be back here again and again and again

sesame noodles - wasn't a fan $9
Jessica S.

*Love* that they have half portions so I can try dishes without committing to a full portion I tried: Pickled cucumber $5 yummy String beans $10 yummy (my fav of the 3) Sesame noodles -$9. Wasn't a fan Next time: - Soup dumplings (the guys next to me were putting the hand made chili oil on everything) -oxtail soup $10 half portion -short rib dan mein Service was great and they have outdoor seating so you can people view while eating Right next to bathrooms and Italian homemade company and across from ice cream (van leeuwen)* might be misspelling ;) Def a fun place to try dishes by yourself or w friends

Wontons in chili oil
Cynthia M.

First time to this area in a long time!!! Wow has Long Beach changed!!! This new center was high end and reminded me of Pacific City in Huntington Beach. We were starving and the yelp reviews looked good for Dan Modern Chinese. We loved everything we ordered!! For a group of 5, the portions were split perfectly with 5 dumplings per order. Our favorites were the green beans, juicy dumplings and anything with the shirt rib, it was cooked so perfectly!! Service was so attentive, they have multiple servers service each table to grab away dishes quickly as the empty.

Pickled cucumbers half order
Tara F.

Its located at 2nd n PCH You can park across on the marina side for free or pay in the parking structure Its right in the middle where the xmas tree is (came late november) Dog friendly There is outdoor seating available with heaters I love the flavors here! Service was great too And the prices are not bad at all enjoy a nice modern chinese meal thats affordable in a beautiful environment. We ordered Half pickled cucumbers Beef roll (highly recommend) Shrimp shishito Mapo pork(highly recommend)

Leeza D.

We came here to explore the marine area and Naples island and decided to try Dan as I was craving some dumplings. Overall I would say, nice modern space. The food was average tasting, but the menu had items that are my usual go to favorites. A bit in the pricier side but expected for this area. Good service. Please come and create your own adventure.

5 soup dumplings for 10 bucks
Pam L.

If you're looking for a dintaifung dupe, this is similar but not totally it. The soup dumplings are good but the portions are weird. You can buy 3 or 5 dumplings (those are weird numbers). Most place sell ten as standard. The soup dumplings skin is good here, thin and holds well. Their steamed dumplings though, felt like frozen premade dumpling skins. They were tough. Sesame noodles lacked flavor but if you ask for some chili oil and add in some vinegar and soy sauce it's improved for sure. The Chinese chicken salad was a seasonal dish and we enjoyed this one. Overall the food is ok and kinda expensive for what it is.

I am so grateful for my experience here at Dan modern Chinese . From the host , to the cook and phenomenal manager by the name of Ann. 10/10 to everyone in the establishment . Ann understands the true meaning of hospitality and exceptional service. Ann gave us the Dan experience. The food is quality , fresh , delicious and made with love . I enjoyed it so much I came back to back and had an outstanding consistent experience both times. Thank you so much again to Ann and her team for a True Dan experience, I love it here ! If you're curious don't hesitate to dine here you will miss a treat

Interior
Linda S.

My first time here! I enjoyed a much needed solo date and finally got to try one of the restaurants I've always wanted to try on my bucketlist! The atmosphere was very lovely and the environment was not overwhelming. I came in a great time where it wasn't too packed. The interior was beautiful. Loved the half booth and half table seating. Cesar was my server. He was very kind and friendly. Anna, the manager, personally introduced herself and even tried getting to know me a bit. She even comp'd the pickles, which was very nice of her. I ordered Dan Dan noodles with pork, pickles, 3 pc. chicken steamed dumpling, and 3 pc pork soup dumpling. Everything was delicious and the portion sizes were perfect! I know many others might expect more, but personally I don't want big sizes. I left feeling great - not feeling too full and not feeling still hungry. I will be returning back!

oxtail noodle soup
Nathan V.

It seemed slow but our hostess said they were busier than expected , probably because it was a Tuesday. There were some people but nothing crazy Our server was great from start to finish and helped up decide on what to get an how much of it since portioning is different here. The portions are shareable but nothing too crazy. Which was good as well as the price, which got me wanting to order more of different things to try out for everyone. This is place to go with more than just one or two. You can still very much enjoy it but a couple more people , whom are willing to share of course will help you get an idea of what to get. From what we ordered everything was good, something more than other. But surprisingly the seaweed salad I very much enjoyed as well as the broth to the oxtail. The udon noodles in their noodle dishes made it better since they are thicker. We did get some dumplings. They were very good especially the soup ones. If you are in this area of 2nd and PCH and in the mood for Asian fusion, this is a good spot to check out. And also a good area to hang out afterwards or go get desert somewhere else in the shopping area.

Tiniest portion of Dan Dan noodles
Constance L.

Love that they have half-sized portions -- everything was (slightly overpriced but) delicious! Popped by for a quick lunch and ended up staying longer because we wanted to order more. Our server was also really friendly and was happy to let us add more to our order throughout the meal! Conveniently located at 2nd & PCH with both indoor and outdoor seating. - Chili oil pork and shrimp wontons (5 pieces for $10): plump wontons smothered in a perfectly balanced sauce -- fragrant with a bit of heat and a touch of sweetness to round everything out. The chili oil was seriously addicting because I ended up pouring the rest of it over my dan dan noodles. - Dan dan noodles with pork ($8): I knew this was going to be a small portion, but it was TINY. Like 1/3 of a pack of instant noodles. I could've eaten this in 3 big bites. Luckily it was absolutely delicious so I still felt like it was worth the try. - Oxtail noodle soup (half portion for $11): The broth is phenomenal and reminds me of Korean bone broth soup. The noodles are silky but maintain a good bouncy chew, and the oxtail is abundant and oh-so tender. A perfect little bowl!

This place is listed today as having outdoor seating. Is it still available? If it is, is it covered or heated? How many people can sit there? / June 8, 2023

It does have outdoor seating and you can sit there. It is covered but not heated. There are probably about 15 seats out there (but don't hold me to that because I'm bad at guessing those things - point is, pretty ample seating). Mostly small tables… Read more

The portions are huge and perfect for sharing family-style, especially with larger groups. They've always handled big parties well, though I'd definitely recommend making a reservation ahead of time since they can get busy. The ambiance is probably the one area that could use some improvement, but the food and portions more than make up for it. If it's your first time, I'd recommend the chicken corn soup, sweet and sour chicken, green onion paratha, and Mongolian beef.

Still worth the drive to Long Beach to get our fill of very good Cambodian food that I've yet to find up north. Parking was still a challenge and I dropped the family in front of the restaurant first so they can join the waitlist. This time I could only find a spot a few blocks away but by the time I walked back to the restaurant, the family got seated. The menu still had the same great options and prices but starting June 1st prices will be increasing. Definitely understandable in this inflationary environment. My favorite every time has been the loat cha with chicken such that the family knows never to ask what am I getting. We've tried the rest of the menu but the family has standardized on their noodle soups or rice porridge bowls. You can count on lots of ingredients, choices of noodles and rich tasting broths. The cha quai (bread stick) must also be ordered as the perfect pairing for dipping. We also ordered the nom sa-kieu (like a fried meat empananda) again and will continue. We ended our meal with a round of iced coffees for the table, strong and delicious. Not bitter at all. Hopefully we'll be back sooner than later.

My dad has refused to eat here before because he felt the service was rude, and after experiencing it myself, I can understand why. Unfortunately, the food did not make up for the experience either -- the soup was bland and not memorable enough for us to want to return. I'm sharing this because I hope customer service can improve and better reflect respect for the community.

I came in on Saturday with my daughter to enjoy an early dinner. It was around 5pm, and not too many people were dining at that time. I dined in as part of the Yelp Elite Experience (YEE). They greeted me kindly, took my name down and sat us down at one of the small tables against the wall. The YEE include a ramen of my choice and a two-piece appetizer of crispy rice and spicy tuna. I opted for the tonkatsu ramen and ordered an additional one for my daughter even though I knew she wouldn't even finish half. Leftovers for me to enjoy later I also ordered a cranberry juice for her and the rooibos iced tea for myself. I very much enjoyed the iced tea and appreciated the menu recommending it as a perfect companion to ramen. Although it's unsweetened, it had a refreshingly natural sweetness to it. To my ramen, I added black garlic oil and chili paste. The broth was very delicious, flavorful and rich. I'm not a huge pork eater anymore, which I need to remind myself of. I did really enjoy my ramen, however, next time I'll have to try another protein, extra egg instead of pork or give the vegan ramen a try, for my own good. Thank you to our server Mel for being very sweet and patient with my daughter and me. She also explained the service fee very well. Heads up that there is an automatic 17.68% service charge added for dine-in orders. I believe I did see it mentioned on the menu, but the man who sat us (possibly a shift manager?) also pointed it out somewhat quickly. However, there was some confusion upon paying because I had explained to Melanie that I wanted to tip on what the total would have been without the promotion; that's just how I've been taught to tip regardless of there being a free or discounted item on the check. So I was adding it up on my phone to see what "I owed" for service. I confirmed that everything looked good on the receipt and she ran my card without the option of me being able to add an additional tip. Something about how most people won't pay more on top of the included service charge, which I get completely, but I felt bad because I got free items and wanted to leave a more comprehensive tip. I'll have to go back soon and try that vegan ramen and more of that tea

But I had heard so many great things about HiroNori that I wanted to try it anyways. My brother especially kept hyping them up, and he LOVES ramen. And I'm glad I decided to try them out! While HiroNori is a SoCal chain, it still feels like a mom and pop restaurant. The crispy rice with tuna was EXCELLENT! Everything you want from crispy rice and spicy tuna. The tonkatsu was delicious! Great depth of flavor. They bring you garlic and spicy paste on the side. I had to add A LOT of spicy paste to get it up to the level I wanted, but while at other restaurants I've lost the broth flavor when adding too much spice, the spicy paste just enhanced the tonkatsu broth. And the pork in the tonkatsu - truly next level. This is probably the best pork I've ever had in a ramen dish. The noodles were also fantastic with the perfect amount of bite. I loved my jammy egg as well. The restaurant itself is smaller, with fun lighting. There is a parking lot which is great. They do not have tipping, instead they have a service charge of a little over 17%. Definitely worth it!
