Food is amazing! Service was fantastic and the ambiance is stellar. I asked the server what he recommended and he brought me short rib noodles and pork soup dumplings. Lunch special portions are perfect and well priced. Eric and William made me feel like I was a guest in their home :)

I went to Dan modern Chinese and I was pleasantly surprised! Our waiter Eric was the best. He was so sweet and extremely helpful in telling us what to order. He recommended the crispy dumplings, beef roll, Dan mein shortrib noodles, and soup dumplings. We are obsessed with the beef roll and short rib noodles were outstanding! They give you a ton of short rib. Eric is such a lovely waiter and person! We will be coming again shortly.

Attentive service. The dishes all came out fairly quickly. The Dan Short Rib is a 100% must have here at Dan! Forget family style. I want this dish all to myself. The Green Beans were prepared perfectly. Crispy, not soggy or mushy. Lightly seasoned (garlicky.) The Mapo Tofu was a nice dish. Just right spicy. But, I will skip the crab addition next time. Unless you plan on drinking the entire broth, you won't get the full benefit of the crab as the crab bits are so small they just become a part of the broth. Garage parking available.

We were so sad to no longer live near the Log Angeles location, but were thrilled when we saw one opening up in Long Beach at 2nd & PCH! We always order our favorites: - Short rib dan mien (the short rib is tender and juicy) -crab fried rice (so many flavorful chunks of crab!) -green beans (perfectly crispy) The only downside is that it's expensive for Chinese food, but it's consistently delicious and the ambience is definitely nicer than most authentic Chinese restaurants.

Food was great. Friendly staff. The vegetable dan mein was so good we had to order it twice. We sat outside at the bar to enjoy the ambiance, and will be coming back soon.

We came here on a Friday night and sat outside on the patio area. The servers were friendly and helped explain the different way you can have the handmade dumplings, and offered suggestions for us to try. The crispy chicken dumplings came out hot and crispy compared to the xiao long bao where the soup inside wasn't as hot as other places. The chicken dan mien was good but I was expecting the noodles to be more chewy since they were handmade. Overall a nice place to eat and definitely want to come back to try the other dumpling options!

Delicious Chicken dumpling with the chili oil. Was good. I wanted a bit more flavor from the sauce or dumpling but still loved Braided beef fried rice was bomb. It was buttery and the meat was so tender and delicious Can't go wrong with garlic green beans. Service was just ok. I can't explain it it just felt like a robotic experience by everyone. Lacking warmth. Idk if it's even worth it to go into detail but it just felt a little "meh" and rushed and cold I'm excited to try more things Price is reasonable

Prior to coming here, I always have to be careful with a lot of Asian cuisine and my seafood allergy. So I gave them a call to ask if they had anything that was allergy friendly (even though I don't order seafood I was more worried about things like shrimp paste and etc being in sauces) The guy who answered the phone was really friendly and told me that they have plenty of options, but to be aware that they do cook it on the same grill. It is washed down in between and they would make sure to wash it before if anyone comes in and states they have allergies. But again, everyone be careful based on their own allergies. They can't promise you will be 100 percent safe. It's just a risk we have to take. I took a couple Benadryl with me to be on the safe side lol because I've been wanting those nooooodles of theirs for forever!!! So please keep that in mind before coming here!! Parking was really easy, it's nicely located with a bunch of other places around. It's located in 2nd and PCH. The outside looks really nice and clean. I was really pleased to see the inside was clean as well. I parked on the street side by the marina and walked in through a main entrance (by Italian homemade company and caffe Luxxe) just walk straight and it will be on your right The ambiance was also really nice. I like places where you can dress it up or dress it down. I really liked the lighting and ceiling design. I also think it's pretty specious with plenty of seating. It reminds me of restaurants in Washington DC. Just very modern and clean The man who answered the phone the other day and answered my seafood allergy questions was actually our waiter, Alex. Alex was really sweet and helpful. He was attentive and remembered I called the other day and helped guide me through the menu since it was our first time here. So 5 stars for alex!! I thought the food portions were on the smaller side to be honest. Especially since the full order of noodles were small and over 20 dollars. And based on the photos it looks like the short rib pieces have gotten smaller. But hey, everywhere is going up. Even McDonald's. So I can't blame them too much The food actually came out extremely fast!! Another plus in my book. Out of everything we ordered I don't think I'd get the pork xiao long bao soup dumplings again. But I recommend the short rib noodles, short rib fried rice and the pan fried pork dumplings. They also have Boba too Parking 4 stars Cleanliness 5 stars Atmosphere 5 stars Service 5 stars Price and portion size 4 stars
