fantastic service and food. I have been coming here for years, and they have some of the best pan friend and soup dumplings I’ve had. The scallion pancakes are amazing as well. Great atmosphere and professional service, highly recommend giving Dan a try if you haven’t!

The beef noodles are something out of this world. You must try them! The dumplings are very good, very similar to Din Tai Fung, but without the crazy wait times. The asparagus and other steamed veggies are super tasty too. Service was excellent, no parking, must park on the street... good luck. Don't park in residential, permit required.

Omg this food was so good. We loved everything we ordered. The shrimp lo mein the noodles were so chewy and full of flavor and not at all soggy. Likewise the rice w short rib... Utterly yummy. All the veggie sides were good, the sautéed bok choy was a highlight. Highly recommend this.

Overall, a good experience! Good tasting dim sum, especially the soup dumplings. The pan fried dumplings are unique, but its just dumplings with a crunchy bed of some sort that doesn’t taste like anything. I would totally recommend getting the short rib dan mein noodles, that was the best thing we ordered in my opinion. I wish they had more selection of dumplings. Its a cute place to get basic dumplings and good noodles, but its not a true, authentic Chinese dim sum place. Great costumer service and fast service.

We love Dan Modern Chinese! A great place for vegetarians- we love the steamed veggie dumplings, all of the vegetable dishes (green beans are a must) and the scallion pancakes…plus, the service at the Sawtelle location is friendly and professional.

Love this place! Great Chinese food! I'm there once a week and never get bored. The food is delicious and consistent. Love the spicy pork soup dumplings, any of the crispy dumplings and the chewy noodles. The mopo tofu is also excellent. Highly recommend.

Absolutely delicious!!! And the service is DIVINE!!! Don’t let the usual suspects of ramen on this street sway you from trying this place. The juicy soup dumplings are amazing, (we had the pork), garlic string beans, pan fried chicken dumplings, and the short rib Dan mien! All are crave worthy and we’ll be back super soon!! As an extra bonus, they’re wine list is great and at $11/glass super affordable!!!

For an authentic Chinese culinary experience, DAN is your place.
The food is full of flavor and made with integrity.
My favorite dish tonight and the star of the show, Shrimp in Crab Sauce.
William the server is an absolute star. Attentive and friendly while ensuring your experience from start to finish is perfect.
