We had planned on going to another restaurant but it was closed so opted for dandan. Monday night dining is always a risk after a busy weekend. Well known fact. So I wasn't going to hold my breath. First impression after being escorted to table was "Wth are my shoes sticking too!! Yuck" seriously it was ridiculous. And the air vent above literally blew our napkins. Whatever Service was fine even though she was awkward? never got fortune cookies. Not that was a break it moment but when it's an Asian restaurant kind of expected right? Food was ok. Dandan noodles definitely suspect. Waaay too saucy and odd flavor. Meh Tasty crispy orange chicken and nice mushroom appetizer- wood ear. Yum! The pork kung pow was not a wow. Tough and dry. So not sure how I feel. Maybe there's your review. Meh read more

To start with, the decor of the restaurant and bar area are really nice and it looks like they have a nice patio when the weather is warm. Now to the food....the only thing that I thought was tasty was the General Tso's cauliflower. Everything else lacked flavor. The veggie momos were totally bland and the pairing with peanut sauce made absolutely no sense, the scallion pancakes were more like scallion pitas (way too thick), and the Mongolian beef was under seasoned. We did have the donuts for dessert and they were good, but there was nothing uniquely Asian about them....those same donuts could be offered at an American fare restaurant. I was excited to try this place and was unfortunately disappointed. read more

After hearing a lot of hype, we went for a special celebration dinner. It was a Saturday night and the restaurant was packed. Always a good sign. The room had a nice vibe. After ordering our drinks and apps, we ordered our entrees and that's where things got a little off. A guy came by with a large tray full of food and we all thought, our dinners had arrived. But he only dropped off one dish and moved on. Interesting. Keep in mind there were five of us at the table. Five minutes later the same guy comes by with his large tray and drops off another dish and moves on again. We encouraged those who had their food to dig in while we wait. Then the waiter came by and asked how is everything, which seemed odd since there were five people sitting there with only two entrees on the table. Five minutes later the same guy comes back, and this time he had the remaining three entrees. Overall the food was delicious, but their service was sorely lacking, which detracts from the chef's efforts. Considering DanDan automatically charge 20 percent gratuity, they need to seriously reconsider their automatic gratuity policy. Gratuity is given when you've had great service and DanDan did not deliver in that department. read more

Unbelievably awful service yet they force a 20% service charge. Waited 45 min after sitting before waitress finally took our order. When food was delivered, one person received the wrong order and server dropped plate off at table and then immediately left even when we told her it was the wrong order. Never received any follow ups asking how the food was. We also saw other tables having the same awful service as us. And regarding the food, way too much salt is added to all of the entres. read more

Overall I enjoy DanDan. The ambiance is really cool and would be fun for a casual date or a large party. The food is tasty, if not a bit overly rich and salty here. I've had takeout twice and eaten in on a slow weekday once. The Szechuan Pork Dumplings and the General Tsao's Cauliflower have been my favorite dishes. The Happy Chicken had a great spicy flavor, but was a little oily yet dry to me as it had no sauce served alongside it.The Egg Foo Young is also quite good and I'd order again.The fried rice dishes I think are too rich and almost have too much going on- the Schmaltz I preferred to the BBQ Pork one. Overall I really like it here and the ambiance is great, though the food is quite pricy. The options are all super flavorful and inventive which is why this spot is enjoyable compared to an actual Chinese restaurant despite not being authentic. read more

I was pleasantly surprised by the food at DanDan...I was expecting the modern take on Chinese food to be over the top. I started with the five-spice fried chicken wings which came with a tangy habanero sauce. This was definitely my favorite dish because the spices blended really well and it wasn't too oily. I also got the rice cakes with pork belly for my main course. I thought it was flavorful but a little bit too salty and I wished not all of the rice cakes were crispy... maybe I'm just used to the Shanghainese style. Overall, the ambiance was nice and the food options seemed plentiful. read more

My husband and I went here for an impromptu date night on a Wednesday- we made a reservation last minute and were glad that we did. It wasn't packed, but it was definitely full for a weeknight. We got the egg-rolls and they were good but not out of this world. We got the General Tso's Cauliflower and loved it. We try and limit our meat consumption and this was a perfect vegetarian option. I hate when "veggie" options are bland or boring...and this dish was not that. Will definitely order this again when we come back. My husband got a Singapore beer which he enjoyed. We were stuffed after those two things but the dessert options definitely tempted us. I think we will come back with a group so we can try more dishes- yum yum! read more

OMG the food was just amazing. We decided to stop at DanDan's for dinner on a Monday and the food was delicious. The fried rice with chicken was fantastic the chicken was lovely and moist. The Mongolian beef was tender and full of flavor. The dumplings were delicious but the crab Rangoons were amazing made with real dungeons crab, yummy. Ambiance was also amazing and our server was on point, attentive and informative. We will definitely be returning. read more

The drinks were good and the food was very tasty. Its a cool atmosphere with great decorations. Don't expect traditional Asian food though as they seem to mix up some flavors. However, the thing that turned me off was their menu states that due to Covid etc etc they add 20% to your bill for the staff. Ok, we pretty much tip 20 now anyway, but I don't like being forced to, nor did I like our server telling us that the 20% goes to the other staff and not her, and if we wanted to tip her it would be great. Well, the menu says the tip goes to you too. I don't like being played. Also, she was pretty lackluster and had nothing exciting to say about any of the drinks or dishes we asked about. I went there before and sat at the bar and it was way better. read more

I went to Dan Dan a few years ago when it first opened, and remember it being good, but a bit rich and pricey. When I saw it on Uber Eats for no delivery fee, I decided to try again and I'm glad I did. We ordered DanDan noodles, general tsos cauliflower, and the scallion pancake. The pancake was good, chewy with 3 dipping sauce options, but the pancake itself could have used a bit more flavor. The DanDan noodles are like extremely spicy spaghetti with meat sauce - not my thing, but could be yours. The highlight, by far, was the cauliflower - wow. Tangy, charred tasting, easy to eat - it's definitely the standout and I would order take out from DanDan again just to have the cauliflower. I also thought the takeout portions were ample, unlike when I dined in. Give it a try for takeout, it was good! read more

Strap in, kids. It's collateral damage day. As the requisite disclaimer, I'm not just a repeat guest at Dandan, but I spent a little time behind the bar here, so my level of detail may be a little finer than average. So...we're talking about Chinese food here. Not some sort of fusion (with one exception), not the traditional recipes that some folks have grown up eating. At no point did I see a descriptor that said "authentic" nor does it qualify for the definition of cultural appropriation (typically involves members of a dominant group exploiting the culture of less privileged groups -- often with little understanding of the latter's history, experience and traditions) If you don't get that, that's your own failing. Please tell me again what the authentic, traditional General Tso's recipe is? The menu is divided up with dim sum and dumplings being the smaller plates, pancakes and the rice & noodles getting a little bigger, then the entrees. The plates are meant to be shared because, follow me here, they aren't complete composed dishes. While they do have multiple pieces, there is no standard that says a dish has to be eaten entirely on its own. Again, if you don't get it, and you feel the need to hold that against a place, you are what's wrong with Yelp. Among the dim sum, I lean mostly towards the tiger salad (because the crispy duck makes that dish pop), the crab Rangoon (because the "filling in every bite" cylinders are an improvement on the deep-fried pouches you get from take-out), and the pea tendrils & garlic (because I do like vegetables sometime). The egg rolls are also good, but I've never made it a point to go somewhere just because I like their egg rolls. For the dumplings, I highly advise the pork for the full flow of heat. It's got a nice burn from beginning to end rather than just killing the tip of your tongue for the night. A little beer goes a long way towards soothing your palate after. Also, foie and short rib dumplings. Very rich, and worth it for the taste, but not something I'd want to load up on at once due to the richness. That might be why they're smaller in size and aren't intended to be an entree portion, but Yelpers know best, right? Noodles and rice are my favorite category to pull from. The one real fusion dish is the Jewish-Chinese schmaltz fried rice. Google schmaltz and understand why this dish may not be healthy, but tastes like something you wish you cooked at home. The rice, Singapore noodles, twice cooked pork belly and cumin lamb are my absolute favorites here. I haven't had the duck, however. Not because I'm peacefully supportive of their right to not be prepared over time and served deliciously to my belly, but because they sell out fast. They look spectacular, and I've not heard anything bad said about them, but it's all in the timing. Earlier reservations usually buy them out. If you missed the duck, the whole snapper, awesomely spicy happy chicken, General Tso's cauliflower (they made a vegetable not taste like a vegetable - win!) and the smoked beef are all good choices. The sole thing I'll say about the beef is that I add hot sauce. I like spice and when eating everything else spicy, this one suffers by comparison. Now, you're looking at this menu and thinking, "How many courses do I need to order? Will this dinner take three hours?" The answer is simple....as the food is ready, it comes to your table. Sometimes one dish at a time, sometimes two or three. This is because things take different amounts of time to cook. So you say, "But I want my dumplings first, then I want my noodles. And so does my date!" And that's cool too, because the staff trained to be the only staff in Milwaukee that knows how to course out your meal simply by saying "Yes, we can have the food come out in a specific order." It took me being a Yelp Elite for six years to find a place that could do that for the asking. Desserts are solid choices here, too. Eyes may roll over this, but the donuts are pretty awesome, and so is the green tea cake. The Dandan Mai Tai is a high proof way to start the evening, and the two tap cocktails, (Mule and Forbidden City) are good second choices. I suppose the high price point matches the idea that you've got the liquor for two drinks in one glass, but I guess you'd have to do the comparison to probably every other bar that does any sort of tiki or craft approach. Beer selections are good in the bottle, best from the tap. And wine, well, a standard pour is 5 ounces. And that's what you get. If I've learned anything in writing this and reading through the other reviews of Dandan, it's that I'm embarrassed to be associated with people who deal in blatant lies about their experiences, critique because they don't know how to ask a simple question, or would rather complain about prices than eat somewhere more suited to your spending level. At some point, you stopped sharing experiences and became entitled douchebags. read more

I am Taiwanese and my boyfriend is Cantonese. We both grew up eating traditional Chinese food and have had strong cultural influences growing up. Besides having our family cooking, we both spent a summer in China where we got to sample and eat authentic Chinese food. I strongly recommend AGAINST this restaurant if you are looking for authentic, traditional, REAL Chinese cooking. While we were here we ordered the DanDan noodles, smashed (smooshed) cucumbers, pork dumplings and the vegan cheesecake. The flavor of all the dishes were masked by peanuts and a small round black spice that may have been peppercorns. ATTN: IF YOU ARE ALLERGIC TO PEANUTS BEWARE; THEY'RE EVERYWHERE. Although the cheesecake looks nice, we felt it had a strange consistency. Overall, I felt the restaurant lacked authenticity and was appropriating the culture of Chinese people. read more

DanDan - Beef Chow Fun - Asian Fusion Near Me - Milwaukee, Wisconsin

Overrated. Went there last weekend with 9 ppl. At the beginning we asked for 4 checks and told waitress before placing drink orders. She acted like this was ok but when bill came it was one and she says she couldn't spilt it. It was just annoying and a waste of time figuring it out. Our bill was $399 which was fine and we expected mandatory gratuity but it's usually 18% not 20%. Waitress never asked how food was and barely came around for refills. She def didn't deserve a $65 tip, I think she knew she was getting 20% no matter what. On to the food. The egg rolls were good, the happy chicken was dry dry dry not good and the pieces of chicken were small odd shapes that was over cooked and just bad. I had to ask for a side of sauce to make it possible. The Singapore noodles were more than disappointing. They weren't Singapore noodles at all they were like fettuccini noodles, they got the whole noodle wrong. It should be thin and clear and spicy. This was not.... Oh and I ordered a root beer and it was $5 that's insane. We won't return. read more

I was not expecting this kind of Asian place in Milwaukee. If I can use one word to describe this place, I would say sophisticated. It is definitely fusion. It is mostly Chiiniese food with some other Asian dishes here and there. The flavor is pretty good but feeling like it is missing some kind of spice. Interior is nice, gives a elegant vibe. Server was super friendly and offer some recommendations on the menu. I was actually most surprised by their dessert list. They have a wide range of dessert offer and they taste amazing. Didn't really get to try the specialties but would like to go back and try them to give a full review! read more

I've eaten here twice. Fun decor. Friendly staff. Restaurant can get loud when full of people. Great place to share a ton of items with a few people. I believe they're now doing full menu - to-go orders. Love: -Shrimp Toast -Shrimp Noodle Dumpling -Ham Crepe -BBQ pork fried rice -Walnut Shrimp -seafood pancake -fun cocktails and wine/beer list -giant list of glass wine pours, they don't mind when you ask for a taste -great booths for 6/7 people read more

Visited DanDan today for lunch and found it to be better than expected. The reviews are mixed, so I was defiantly hesitant. Atmosphere - this place is set up similar to many upper scale Asian cuisine places. Nothing too special, but cozy and dimly lit which is nice. Food - for lunch you choose an appetizer (either dumpling or an egg roll) with an entree for $13. Between the table with had fries rice, the sesame chicken, the beef with broccoli and the fried pork belly. All of the dishes were wonderful. My favorite was the pork belly by far! They have another full menu for dinner but that was not available. Value - small portion for the price which is kind of a bummer. Overall - Id defiantly stop back in. It's a cute place and the food was great! I recommend trying! read more

As a vegetarian, I always look forward to DanDan. The General Tso's Cauliflower is incredible, and I always have to order a plate for the table as well as my own because even the meat-eaters can't get enough. I also love the Kimchi pancake. I've also held a couple of private events at DanDan, which I would recommend. They have a nice private room in the back and their staff is amazing to work with. read more

Finally got to DanDan to celebrate my birthday. Everything was delicious and fresh. The great thing is we started with a couple Higgs and then we're able to keep ordering and have more dishes come out in a timely fashion. We had the foie gras dumplings, crab Rangoon and the three cup mushrooms to start it off. The three cup mushroom is a dish I will return to DanDan for many times in the future. It was that good. For entrees we ordered noodles and walnut shrimp. Our eyes were bigger than our stomachs but thankfully the leftovers reheated well later in the week. read more

DanDan's reimagined Chinese American cuisine is a fantastic addition to the MKE dining scene! Had the chance to check out their $13 lunch special today and shared a with a few plates with friends. The highlight was definitely the Sour Sausage, which is house made and reminded me a bit of sausage I had in northern Thailand, and a side salad with a killer perfectly acidic dressing. The close second was the Pork Belly, served with chewy rice cakes that added a neat texture to a delicious dish. We also had the Dan Dan Pork Noodles, but they lacked both flavor and spice, despite being advertised as hot. Combined with their fantastic service, DanDan is worth the visit! read more

We came on a Friday evening with a party of 4. We had reservations and we were promptly seated. Our waitress was attentive, friendly, and had a great sense of humor. She explained that as the food is ready, it is brought out while hot and typically shared as small plates. All the food was delicious and the service was excellent. The problem as with most places in the Third Ward is parking. Also, the wine list was ok, but not special and the pours are rather skimpy in a stemless glass. All in all, we will return for sure!! read more

DanDan is a great addition to the Third Ward; I wish they were open when I lived down there. I have no idea how authentic the food is, I just know it's delicious. This is a place you go and order several different items and share with your table mates. We started out with Crab Rangoon, Salt and Pepper Squid and the Short Rib and Foie Gras Potstickers. Some of the best Crab Rangoon I have had and the Squid was delicious with the peppers and then dipped in the sauce for the Crab Rangoon. The potstickers were good but I didn't really taste any short rib; I think the Foie Gras overpowered them. Second courses we ordered the seafood pancake (at the recommendation of our server) and the Happy Chicken. Everyone loved the pancake, but we wished the Happy Chicken was spicier; definitely not deserving of the "on fire" symbol rating next to it on the menu. We ended our meal with the Schmatlz Fried Rice and the Singapore Noodles. The rice had so much flavor with the Chinese sausage and loved the grains of crispy rice. The Singapore Noodles were probably the least favorite dish of all of them we tried for everyone at the table. The shrimp in the dish were probably the smallest shrimp we ever saw and the Noodles were kind of gummy. There are some fun drinks on the menu. We tried the DanDan Old Fashioned and the Dark Secret. Both drinks were delicious and not overly sweet. I saw some flaming drinks come from the bar that we will have to try on the next visit. Overall great dining experience. It does get really noisy in the restaurant, but not a big deal especially when the food is so delicious; I'm willing to live with the noise. read more

It was hopping on a Friday night but not packed. Lovely outdoor patio; inside is pretty noisy. Service is friendly and attentive. I saw the chef on Beat Bobby Flay and had to try this place. It did not disappoint. I loved the water in the large ceramic-topped bottle with the small metal cups; classy. I tried the Singapore noodles and was very pleased. I like it spicy, and it bordered on overpowering even me, but the lightly grilled fresh veggies, noodles, egg "strip" balanced it nicely. Noodle done just right; I did not care if not the typical thin rice noodles. Portion was plenty for one plus lunch tomorrow. Too good to eat all at once. I hope the chef gets a re-match with Bobby. read more

Disgusting!!!! I thought I would give Dan Dan another try after staying away since the restaurant opening. I should have stayed away Panda Express taste like Gourmet in comparison!!! I ended up throwing away everything I ordered after a few bites I feel like I just crumbled up my cash and burned it read more

First time there tonight, loved the interior and the dishware was fun. We ordered Veggie Momo, absolutely fantastic, great flavors. We then had the scallion pancake, pretty blah not much flavor save your money. We then finished with the King Pao Chicken, really disappointed. No flavor or heat it tasted like chicken fajitas, again save your money. The service was great, Celestine was wonderful and spot on. Just wish the food had better flavor, not sure I will be back. read more

DanDan is a Chinese-inspired small plate restaurant. I sat out on the patio on a gorgeous Monday evening. The patio is not too big, but makes for a pleasant, somewhat intimate setting. My friend and I weren't really agreeing on plates to share so we went at it a little more traditionally. We shared a first course / appetizer of Short Rib and Foie Gras Potstickers; these were excellent, but only 5 potstickers for $14 left me wanting more. For our "main course" my friend chose the Schmaltz Fried Rice and I went with the DanDan Noodles, but we each shared in a small taste of the other's choice. The DanDan Noodles were listed as not just "spicy" but "on fire"; I love some good heat so this was part of the reason I ordered them. Unfortunately, they had only a little kick to them. They were still very good, but I felt they needed quite a bit more to live up to the "on fire" designation. The Fried Rice dish was also very good, but again fell short of excellent. On the plus side, despite being a small plate place, these dishes made for a sufficient meal. We even took some of each home so we could have a little dessert. For dessert we chose to share an ice cream dish with bananas and walnuts. This was the least exciting of the dishes. What can I say? It was a decent ice cream with some bananas and walnuts. The "individual" serving was enough for us to split and be satisfied. I want to try them again and try more of their options. I'll just have to remember this is one of those places where "spicy" doesn't mean much. read more

Dissapointed in the service and food quality. Our dinners weren't served at the same time and the food itself wasn't up to par

I'm going to give DanDan 4 stars because I love the food here so much but a few things aren't perfect. The set backs I have with this place is that it's pricey for takeout and finding the door was hard the first time (location shows up weird on maps, had to walk around the block and halfway down the other side to find the door). I haven't tried everything on the menu but my favorites are DanDan noodles, walnut shrimp, and pea tendrils. So so good! The noodles are spicy and delicious (I wish I could recreate them), the walnut shrimp is to die for, and the pea tendrils just an amazing cooked green done 100x better than I could. I've had some of the other entrees that didn't stand out as much. The Mongolian beef was very salty. Sichuan pork dumplings are really good but pricy for what you get. Overall I'd say go here to dine in if you haven't yet because it is a really well done restaurant and beautiful inside. Figure out your favorite dishes and then order to go if you ever have a craving. Like I often do for DanDan noodles! read more

After making several attempts to visit DanDan, I finally had the chance to try out this restaurant. One thing I recommend is to make a reservation ahead of time, especially if you plan coming on a weekend night. Entering into the restaurant, we were immediately greeted with wonderful aroma that had us salivating. The decor inside is done quite well, and I think it makes a wonderful date spot. Our server was knowledgeable about the menu, and answered our questions with ease. The menu is designated as "family style," and thus we ordered accordingly. We went with the crab rangoon, DanDan noodles, and the sea scallops. The Crab Rangoon came with 5 pieces of delicious rangoon served with an egg roll sauce. It was phenomenal and had me wanting more. The DanDan noodles were tasty, but extremely spicy. They are listed as such, but I thought the spice was slightly overpowering. I also thought the amount of pork in the dish was scarce to say the least. Our last dish was the sea scallops, and although the dish was quite tasty, it lacked the "family style" concept. The dish is $22 but came with only 3 scallops. The drink menu has a good variety of beer, wine, and cocktails. We went with the cocktails and were happy with our drinks. They were not overpowering, and fit the description on the menu. I think DanDan was a good experience, however it did leave me desiring for a bit more. I thought the food was flavorful, yet still left me thinking it could be better. I do look forward to returning and giving it another chance. read more

As someone with a gluten sensitivity, I SO appreciate not only their menu options, but the care, consideration, and communication of the waitstaff. Our waitress was knowledgeable of what and how the menu could be altered to fit my allergy needs, so I could better navigate the menu. Of course I want to mention: the food was fantastic! The menu has diverse options, and the cocktails are not the usual, but nice all the same. The space was loud- as it was a packed Saturday night- but my only issue was that the air conditioning was on quite high and blowing directly on our table, which left us pretty chilly! However, the waitress acknowledged our response and had the temperature altered for us. All in all, a great night and a great place. read more

With all the 4 and 5 star ratings, I was expecting to be impressed. Unfortunately, it was a huge disappointment. It was in a nice location, the restaurant had a real fun feel about it. I liked how it looked and felt when we walked in. The area where we sat was nice. I was really expecting to be impressed. We ordered 3 appetizers, a noodle dish and 3 meat dishes. Everything was presented beautifully, however, everything was way too salty. How do they expect people to eat food this salty???!! The flavor was there but it was so salty you couldn't taste it. Our table got a bottle of water and we almost asked for three more....one for each of us. We ended up not finishing the food and we don't intend on taking anything home (we're still here at the restaurant as I'm writing this review). Not coming here ever again and I would not recommend it to anyone. read more

Recently made reservations and visited this spot for date night with my boyfriend. For starters, I loved the actual restaurant. Beautifully lit, well-decorated, and friendly service gave a great first impression. For our meal, we split an appetizer and two entrees. We shared the Sichuan Pork Dumplings, Kung Pao Chicken, and the Beef Chow Fun (Noodles). The Kung Pao Chicken was pretty classic but we couldn't believe how delicious the Beef Chow Fun Noodles tasted! My boyfriend and I still talk about how great this dish was. Whether you're looking for a great drink and appetizer spot or a fun date night dinner, this spot is for you! read more

A year ago I came here to eat while I was visiting and haven't been back since I moved right down the street 8 months ago. I've really been craving and missing all the authentic Asian foods I'd always eat in San Francisco, so I was excited when I found myself at DanDan for a late dinner last weekend. We came in at 9:30pm on Friday (they close at 10pm) and they asked if we wanted to sit in or out on the patio. Due to the humid night and the boys wanting to be right by the bar, the three of us were seated at a high top inside. I was beyond hungry and just looking at the menu I wanted to order everything!! I ended up getting the scallion pancakes and chicken dumplings. Boyfriend got orange chicken. We shared the eggrolls. Our friend got whiskey and watched us eat. (who does that!?). Everything was delicious! Much more authentic than I expected but as far from greasy take-out Chinese as you can get. Presentation was on point, flavors melded perfectly and the leftovers the next day were just as delicious! DanDan makes a homemade Hoisen sauce that you just want to put on everything!! I can't wait to come back again! Thank you DanDan for satisfying my Asian cravings here in MKE! read more

Came here based on their great reviews. We arrived a little too early and had to wait to get in. We walked up to the door right at opening and there was already a ton of people at the front desk. A large group was there without reservations and they were turned away. We didn't have reservations either, but as a group of 2 were able to be seated at the bar. We tried the scallion pancakes and egg roll to start. The pancakes were good. I didn't love their hoisin sauce though. The egg roll was very good, but it's actually just 2 egg rolls cut in half lengthwise, so not that much food. For the entree, we split the happy chicken. This was amazing. I can't stop thinking about it. It is so incredibly spicy but SO good. The chicken is so perfectly crispy and the spices just work so well with it. We also tried the Chinese doughnut dessert. They remind me of beignets but a bit heavier and they were also amazing. They came with 3 sauces: strawberry jam, mandarin dark chocolate, and anglaise. I suggest combing the sauces. I can't wait to come back! I'm sure they have lots of great options but I will definitely be ordering the happy chicken again. read more

We ordered three dishes. All of them are extremely salty. The food quality does not warrant the pricy menu. Be noted that, they charge a service fee on your bill on top of your tip to the wait staff. read more

For all the buzz around DanDan over the last year, I was disappointed with my first experience with DanDan, as much as I wanted to love it, it was just meh. We had 6pm reservations on a Saturday and we were seated promptly in the main dining room when we arrived. Because it is open to the bar area and with the decor being tasteful but full of hard surfaces we had a difficult time conversing at our small two top over the din in the dining room. As in nearly shouting to talk to each other. There are two more intimate rooms off the main room and I strongly suggest getting into one of them. The craft cocktail menu is eclectic and very good. Our cocktails were well balanced and delicious. Unfortunately, they were better than our meal. We started with the shrimp toast, which was tasty but a bit lacking in the shrimp as it came out like a sandwich with two pieces of bread rather than just open faced style. The shrimp and pork wontons were good, although beware, even dishes listed as spicy are pretty hot. We would have liked a bit more filling in the wonton as well. As for our entrees, disappointing is the only way to describe it. The orange chicken would have been good if it had been not so crispy as to be nearly burned. The BBQ Pork Fried Rice needed more pork and less 5 spice powder. All in all, disappointing. read more

Nice concept, the booths are cozy and the dumplings we ordered were tasty, but the food didn't really taste Asian and was way oversalted and overpriced for what it is. read more
