dan modern chinese - santa monica

Excellent

NICE PLACE! My boyfriend and I stopped by here while looking for a place to eat after going to the beach. We saw the prices were decent so we decided to give it a try. We got the chicken noodle soup, spicy oxtail beef noodle soup, and popcorn chicken. The food was more of an Americanized version of traditional Chinese food. The service was really good and the place was clean and not crowded.

Loved the chicken fried rice. So authentic. Would recommend chicken dumplings in chili sauce. Sadly there was no dessert menu except for boba tea.

The food here is absolutely phenomenal. The popcorn shrimp and short rib Dan mein were a person favourite! 12/10! Lovely restaurant space, very clean and staff were super nice. A definite must if you are in the area!

love it.

I had the pork xlb, pork & shrimp dumplings with chili oil, and the vegetable Dan mein and OMG everything was delicious! Definitely wish they had a location in Florida

Highly recommend this place! Everything we ordered was soo yummy and fresh. We got the beef roll, spicy pork soup dumplings (mild spice), string beans w garlic, and short rib dan mein (comparable to Udon but better). I would come back just for the dan mein -- they make their noodles FRESH here, that's why the chew is so nice. The short rib literally melt in your mouth, you need to come just for this dish! Even the string beans were just soo good and had a nice crunch. You can taste the authenticity and quality in each bite. One of the managers, Adam, came by and checked in on us and Mason, our server, was so kind! Service was amazing and I will definitely be back.

We had dinner with a group of friends here last week and it was great, fresh, flavorful and a fun atmosphere. Totally recommend the beans, chili chicken, broccoli and soup dumplings. Decent prices.

So I came here with my deaf daughter who has a hearing dog and told we could. Not sit In a booth because of the dog they told us that the dog could not bark or be loud this dog is a trained dog she only alerts when she needs to but the restaurant can not dictate what the dog can and can not do .. we provided the rules pre ADA and the manger said she would look into them we did sit down but were uncomfortable and ended up taking most of our food home this is unacceptably and illegal .. So disappointed not only for my daughter but for others that just walk away and say nothing
