    Outstanding restaurant - from food to service to value. While DanDan has been around for nearly a decade, I have overlooked how inspiring Chinese-American cooking in Milwaukee could be. Loved the shareable aspect of this place. Started our dinner when our server brought out the delicious mungbean kimchee pancake and short rib / foie gras potstickers. Loved them both. DanDan noodles were wonderful with their peanut-forward flavor. Enjoyed the rice cakes and pork belly with more spicy kimchee. Shared the Mongolian beef with its deliciously stir-fried bell peppers. DanDan has a wonderful cocktail menu and mango crème brûlée. Only wished we lived nearby to have this as our goto carry out place for Chinese-American food.
