    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.

    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

    *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

    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

    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)

    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.

    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!

Good food, but the atmosphere and service style completely turned me off from wanting to come back.

I lunched with a friend and shared two things: -moo shu chicken ($13.95) -salt & pepper tofu ($13.95) I've never had moo shu anything before and I am now a moo shu fan 4ever. Apparently the version here come pre-wrapped, but I didn't mind since I was a first timer. The wrapper functions a lot like a tortilla, but much more delicate. I like the mixture of chicken, wood ear mushrooms and cabbage maybe? Textually it's crunchy and I like that in the soft wrapper. The salt & pepper tofu is sautéed with jalapeños which give it a nice kick. It's not your classic version of the this dish because the tofu is cubed into bite sized pieces and tastes a little more peanut-y than salt and pepper-y, but I didn't mind it. It was great over white rice. L V is perfect for a quick Chinese fix. Lunch specials are just a bonus.
