Surprisingly authentic vegan ma po tofu in Milwaukee! After seeing that their menu had a bunch of vegan options, I put in an online order for their vegan ma po tofu ($16 plus tax), which comes with rice, and it was waiting for me when requested. The portion is large, coming with the signature soft tofu, with plenty of Szechuan peppercorns, peanut, green onions, and ground homemade seitan that added a nice dimension. Moderately spicy, about on par for the dish. I was quite impressed. I'd definitely return to try their other vegan items, but I would for sure order this again.

Dan Dan noodles seemed dry, the sauce didn't help them, they were clumped together and I had to pull some of the apart. The chicken Boa sliders were tasty.

Always a pleasure to eat here. Our waitress was friendly and attentive. Honestly, we ordered so much to share for our table of four. I normally would say everything that we ordered. But it all was so good and we chose items that sounded tasty or interesting to us is (if we hadn't had it here before).... And we weren't disappointed. Just come. Have a great drink or two- and enjoy the food. It's awesome.

I am not an Asian food lover, but I am a DanDan lover! Visiting Milwaukee to see friends they recommended it. We went and ordered four plates to share. Starting with the General Tsos Cauliflower and the DanDan Noodles! So rich in flavors and layers. Then the Orange Chicken and Chicken Fried Rice came. Both were so good. I would say I liked the fried rice and cauliflower the best. Sharing plates was very easy and allowed us to try different things. Our waiter Garrett was very attentive getting us our drinks and multiple rounds of water.

Stopped by Dandan after a while and we had a great experience again. We got the hot and sour egg drop soup (though I prefer the regular hot and soup soup) it was great to have this back on the menu. We got sichaun dumplings and sesame bao. The dumplings were not spicy at all which was a bummer, the bao were delicious but not traditional bao. It was more of a sandwich, still good though. Mapo tofu was good, but again could've been spicier. Happy chicken was my favorite, delicious and crispy. Overall solid food and experience

I haven't watched Top Chef but had heard a lot of raving reviews of Dan Dan so when my friend was in town I decided to check it out. I loved the vibes of the place, the decor was great! It was super simple to make a reservation and even though we were 10min early we were still sat and didn't have to wait. Took some time to get our apps ordered but after that the veg momos came out pretty quick and they were delicious. We then got our drinks and put in our entree orders. Problem came with the timing of the entree delivery. I got the Mapo Tofu and he got the Orange Chicken and his dish did not come out for 8-10 minutes after mine was given. It was all DELISH but the timing being wrong made the awkward "I want to eat before this gets cold but don't want to be rude" look I had to give my friend. Overall great food but the timing of food arriving could be fixed. Would come back again but maybe get an order to go or just order everything at once!

When everyone is buzzing about a restaurant, I don't always believe the hype. I have to rely on my trusted foodie advisors beyond the Yelp Elite: my cousins! DanDan came highly recommended by these tough critics. The first time I came here, it was a bit of a rough night. Our server was awesome, but the kitchen was slow and backed up. Summerfest was going on and it did not have a good impact on the restaurant. Our food was decent, but I was a underwhelmed. But I believe in second chances. I came back with one of the foodie cousins and had an entirely different experience. Things were humming at the restaurant. We ordered lots of apps to share - crab rangoon, pot stickers, Thai chicken bao, and the wok fried broccoli. For our main entrees, we shared the Mongolian beef, fried rice and veggies. Cocktails were on point - I had Bulma's Delight. Yum! I love the look and feel of the restaurant. The decor gives a kitschy American-Chinese vibe - take out container, lucky cat, fortune cookie... This was definitely worth my second visit. I will be back to try the rest of the menu!

I was excited to try this place when visiting MKE for a few days. I made a reservation in advance, not sure it was needed on a weeknight but didn't hurt! We were seated quickly inside and the place has a super cute vibe - definitely bustling and thus a bit loud. We ordered drinks and several plates for the table to share. Food came quickly (though before drinks, ah well) and we enjoyed everything! We tried the cumin lamb dumplings, general tsos cauliflower, kimchi pork belly rice cakes and of course the name sake - Dan Dan! I would order all the dishes again with the exception of (shockingly!) the Dan Dan. It was fine - but lacked a little spice/flavor in comparison to the other dishes.
