Jenny was incredible. Busy night with large walk in parties and we still felt cared for and welcome. Thank you so much. I’d waited years to try this food.

Found this place on the Inkind restaurant savings app. Probably never would have tried it otherwise but pleasantly surprised with delicious food and outstanding service. Prices are reasonable for the main portions as they are enough for 2. Do be careful if you are unsure of your tastes, the spices are quite prevalent

We were seated in a side room. There was only one other couple. I enjoy the vibe of Dan Dan, but that side room was quiet and not at all a part of the experience. I understand they were busy. But if you’re going to ask, I’m gonna tell you :-) otherwise we had a fantastic dinner. This is not a bad review :-)

We had the same fantastic experience we always have at DanDan!!! And we felt it was very important to support all of DanDan’s employees and owners due to the temporary closing of Ester Ev, due to the water damage they suffered and now must repair. Come out and support them all and enjoy a delicious, enjoyable experience at DanDan!!! You will be thoroughly cared for and spoiled!

Our server forgot to put our entree order in and noticed when he came over to try and give us the bill. We had a group of 6 and were given 1 free appetizer for the wait. The serve was semi apologetic. We had ordered 3 apps prior to this so with the one extra by the time I got my entree I was pretty full but it was okay. The appetizers were the best part. Cute space.

Service was OK. Server was kinda snarky, but she was swamped. Food was pretty good as always. I’ll be back.

The food was slightly off from the past few times that we had been going there. They used to offer a salt and pepper fried rice which was amazing and then you could add a protein but they seem to have removed that from the menu. I asked the waiter and he said you could do the vegetable fried rice and then add a protein but that isn’t what I wanted. Anyway, the last thing that bothered me was a 5% wellness charge! I had to look this up because it is actually the restaurant adding this charge as optional…you can ask to take it off…but it is for the staff to have health benefits. Like this isn’t the consumers responsibility…DanDan should be paying this for their staff if they want to offer it. You don’t out this on the consumer…not sure I will be going back. Overall, just uncomfortable.
