This place doesn't seem very busy, but parking is a little tough to find. Waitress took our orders and food came out quick. We were the only table on a Sunday so it's extreme quiet. I like the decoration. They have booths you can sit in. Dan Dan noodle is overly oily and not enough numb when you eat it. The dumplings take good as well. The spicy cucumber is good. We made Dan Dan into a meal with come with a drink which is soda. If lemon is add it will cost $1 more for 2 slices of lemon. I was hoping for more of a wow factor. I don't think I would get out of my way to visit again. read more

Dan Dan noodles were very good! Mild was still spicy. Can't imagine how much hotter medium would have been. Lip numbness for sure!

Great noodles on Denman Street! Our favorite was the Yibin noodles that had a good balance of spice and flavors, though the Dan Dan noodles were also great. The noodles of each dish were perfect, tender yet chewy. The dumplings that came with the combo were decent though we found ourselves dipping them heavily in the accompanying sauce to match the flavors of the noodles. Fast and friendly staff in a clean dining area, and even could watch soccer game on the screens behind the bar. read more

As restaurants were very busy on a Saturday evening in the streets of Vancouver, my partner and I were scurrying to find a place to dine at. We wandered along the strip of Denman Street and stumbled across a hole in the wall gem. This is Dan Dan Noodle. Dan Dan Noodle stands out as a culinary gem, offering an unparalleled taste of authentic Chinese cuisine. From the moment you step inside, the ambiance transports you to the bustling streets of Chengdu, with its vibrant decor and welcoming atmosphere. The star of the show, the Dan Dan noodles, are an absolute delight. Each bite is an explosion of flavor, perfectly balancing the rich, nutty sesame paste with the spicy kick of Sichuan peppercorns and fresh vegetables. The noodles themselves are cooked to perfection, with just the right amount of chewiness. The food was so good we ordered TWO more noodle dishes. The Sichuan Cold Noodles (Liang Mian) and the Sichuan Beef Noodle Soup. Not only that, but we had a side of Spicy Wontons with Chili Sauce and Soju Bombs! We noticed how perfectly seasoned the dishes were right away. Usually when you order a large amount of food, you'd feel full and tired, but these dishes were not too heavy or oily, leaving us satisfied and full of energy! From the fiery heat of the spices to the comforting warmth of the soup, every dish is a testament to the chef's dedication to authenticity and quality. Prepared to perfection. We even had room for dessert afterwards! What truly sets Dan Dan Noodle apart, however, is the impeccable service. The staff go above and beyond to ensure that every guest feels welcomed and satisfied. Whether you're a seasoned spice lover or a newcomer to Sichuan cuisine, they are more than happy to guide you through the menu and offer recommendations. The staff were extremely friendly and wonderful! Dan Dan Noodle is a must-visit for anyone craving an authentic taste of Sichuan in Vancouver. With its delicious food, inviting ambiance, and top-notch service, I will 1000% be back next time I'm in Vancouver. read more

Yummy, but small portions and spensive. They're open late and I definitely have ordered a few times. My wallet is sad though and my tummy is rumbling. read more

We stumbled upon this place for lunch on a Monday after we arrived from the states. I have made Dan Dan noodles at home, so we were familiar with them. Compared to other places nearby, this place was not crowded, so that was a little worrisome. However, the noodles were great - crispy pieces of pork with a nice bite from the Sichuan peppercorns. We also ordered the "boiled" vegetable, which was some sort of green Asian stalky thing that we really didn't know what it was, but it was sauced well and just a bit bitter. We liked it. read more

Okay, real talk, if you've never had anything mala, you are missing out. I know spicy food isn't for everyone, but do try this place out. They have a "no spicy" and mild option for those that can't handle it and an "extra spicy" option that wants more of that good good numbness. The mild option is a bit spicy still according to the waitress, so get the "no spicy" option if you don't want any at all. I have to admit, the numbing feeling from the spices that you get here on your lips is real. I want to say that it isn't really spicy, just more numbing, but my sweat at the end of the meal seems to say otherwise. So my friends and I came here during happy hour and the wonderful waitress informed us that during this time, they were offering a "buy 1, get 1 free deal" for the Dan Dan Noodles. We opted to go for that as well as getting the Yi Bin Noodles, Sichuan Cold Noodles, and Spicy Wonton. Pretty much, we decided to get everything at a different spice level cause we had people that couldn't handle spicy foods. It was all quite good and my friends that couldn't handle the spice said it wasn't too bad. The numbness from the spice made the water taste unexpectingly sweeter. So expect your taste buds to get a bit messed up. My friends seemed to like the "non-spicy" option of the Dan Dan Noodles a lot. So spice isn't necessary to have flavorful noodles here it seems. I do like the spice still. The Sichuan cold noodles had a different texture and seemed more al dente. Had a bit more of a crunchy texture due to the bean sprouts. I liked it and it definitely felt like there was more variety in these dishes despite them coming out looking similar to each other. Recommend mixing the ingredients up before digging in. The ground meat tends to sink to the bottom still after mixing, so I guess that can't be helped. Do mix it so all the ingredients are more balanced when you slurp up the noods. The spicy wonton was pretty good, but I think the star of the show here is the noodle dishes. The noodles are quite good and felt more memorable. Granted, we did have 4 noodle entrees, so I guess it's hard to forget them. Overall, I enjoyed the food greatly. Service was wonderful and the price is reasonable. I had a great experience coming here with my friends and sharing and trying out everything. read more

So good! Ordered the buy 1 get 1 free extra spicy on Uber eats. Wouldn't recommend it if you don't adore spice (which I do), but it was amazing! I'm going to reorder for sure as you can get two meals basically when you order online. Haven't been to the restaurant yet but will definitely make a stop when downtown. read more

I saw this place on Uber east, ordered it with buy 1 get 1 free discount. The noodles and the pork are too dry and there are barely any sauce. Perhaps it is better dine in. The cold noodles are way to easy to break apart. The quality just isn't that good. read more

If you are ever craving spicy food, Dan Dan Noodle is the place to go! It ain't for the faint hearted as their food is loaded with chillies and oil. There's no parking around so make sure you get that sorted before you decide to come in. We parked closeby and walked to the location. We had the cucumber in spices and it wasn't as good as it sounds. It was tasty but loaded with chilli oil. The Dan Dan noodles were amazing!! We ordered a non spice version for my 6 year old and he couldn't stop eating. So flavourful!! Their dumplings are the most delicious ones I've had in a long time. The pork and rice dish was average and can be skipped. Over all the staff gave us right recommendations and was helpful. The place was quiet on a weekday evening but I can see how it could get busy on weekends. The prices are not exorbitant and we had lots of leftovers that we packed for next days meal. Will I go back?? Hell ya! I still think of that plate of Dan Dan Noodles !! read more

Spicy food is always delicious during the winter season and this place hits the spot!

Great food and great service and a very decorative restaurant and overall a great experience. Ambience was great, food was phenomenal! Great value with the combo menu, we are coming back tomorrow!! read more

The food was great, very authentic and tasty. The service was good as well. The only negative was that an 18% tip of the total including GST was charged without notifying us, and we unknowingly added additional tip. Luckily we found out after reviewing our receipt before we left the vicinity, and the owner promptly refunded us the additional tip. read more

It does not look very special from the outside, and the food choice is not big. However, I think they deserve 5 stars for their tasty food and friendly service. I had the spicy cold chicken and the intestine noodle. Both are authentic and tasty. I would have liked the noodle soup to be heavier in flavor. The chicken could have been more tender. read more

Absolutely top-notch Sichuan food with tons of clearly-marked vegan options. I saw online that their menu had a lot of vegan options, so we decided to check them out for dine-in one night. They serve up authentic Northern Chinese / Sichuan cuisine, including classics like ma-po tofu and dan dan noodles. We ordered the Sichuan cucumbers ($7.95), boiled vegetables ($6.95), Sichuan spicy sliced potato ($7.95), Sichuan mapo tofu ($14.95) and the Sichuan dan dan noodles ($13.95). Everything came out very quickly. -The cucumbers (served cold) were probably the best I've ever had, largely due to the delectable dressing -- perfect combination of peppercorns, chili peppers, chili oil, salt and sugar. We couldn't get enough of these. 5/5 -The spicy potato dish was really solid too, coming with a similar sauce to the cucumbers (but hot) and were very tasty. These were probably the least impressive of what we ordered, but still damn good. 4/5 -The boiled vegetable was yu choy (like smaller gai lan), and came with a salty oyster sauce-like sauce. Nothing incredible, but exactly the kind of greens you want to accompany this kind of meal. 4/5 -The mapo tofu was fantastic. It wasn't a Sichuan peppercorn bomb, but had plenty of that; it was more dominated by the wonderful fermented bean paste character. On the oily side but acceptable for the dish, this was fantastic. This is served with a bowl of rice. 4.5/5 -The dan dan noodles were exquisite as well, nice and peppercorn-y, with excellent crunch from the minced veggies and peanuts. Excellent. 5/5 The service was top-notch also, providing helpful recommendations and information about the different dishes. Prices are reasonable for the most part, and the portions are solid. My utmost highest recommendation. read more

I am surprised that this place got such a low review on Yelp. It only opened a month ago and already got tons of reviews on other takeout apps like Uber eats and DoorDash. Super tasty Sichuan food. Spicy, numbness, nutty, sweet. Everything all in one bite. The dish looks seemingly pricier but the portion is huge. Easily get two meals. I dined indoor for the first time. The lady owner and her son run the place and they are both very nice. She keeps on checking on me to make sure I have water, get food quickly, enjoy the flavors, pack the takeout and give me extra rice. It feels like real homey spot. Would recommend anything who is craving for some spicy Chinese food. read more

Stopped by to get some takeout for later in the day and Dan Dan Noodle far exceeded my expectations. My wife and I eat plant based and went with two of the few vegan options on the menu, we chose the Vegan Dan Dan Noodles and Vegan Mapo Tofu. The food reheated excellent in the microwave, and the flavors were amazing! The best vegan food I have had in Vancouver and not even from a fully vegan restaurant, If you are vegan and craving some spicy Sichuan cuisine I highly recommend, beware they are a bit spicy but tasty spicy. The girl working the front was super nice and helped me right away despite being super busy. Thank you! read more

I visited Vancouver and was looking for quick Chinese food. Ordered the dan dan noodle, beef noodle soup, and a tofu dish. All were great, but the dan dan noodle was the most memorable. Authentic with the right amount of spice and numbness around the lips. I came back the next day to get it again. Good prices, local beer on tap, and fast service. Would come back whenever I'm back in Vancouver. read more

I didn't expect authentic dan dan noodles but I got dan dan noodles that were so delicious I wish the restaurant were closer to where I live. The noodles were cooked to perfection and the spice was just right. It's not fancy food but it's authentic and delicious so not much more to say. I don't recommend the other dishes such as the dry pot which is not bad but not worth the price. In other words I'd recommend just going there for the dan dan noodles. read more

I came to this place for late lunch. Ordered their best sale noodle light spicy, feeling impressed. Sauce is delicious and chewy noodle texture.
