Stopped for dinner this time and enjoyed the eponymous Dan Dan noodles. We also shared the dry pepper chicken, nicely peppery, as well as the sizzling dumpling which was good but not particularly exciting. We had plenty of leftovers as the plates were large. However, I question whether we received all of the entree as the one container was burgeoning with food but when I got it home and on a plate the next day, it appears less than what was on the original platter. read more

Had pretty high expectations based on the reviews. Luckily they were surpassed easily. An excellent all around experience. Tasty Food Great Atmosphere Fantastic Service Gluten-Free Options read more

Best Chinese I have ever had. I'm hesitant to post this as I feel like it's our little secret

This place fills my soul and completes it. How is the food so damn good? How is the service so quick and how does the food come out so quick even during peak hours everytime? My mind is blown. From basic dishes like meat with hot peppers or scallions, to their appetizers, to their traditional and signature dishes, nothing is bad. Their dumplings in oil have an addictive sauce. Green Peppercorn Dish is perfect for those seeking flavors and sensations of all kind. Their tofu dish is homey and savory. The dry pot dish is satisfying and seasoned very well. I've tried so many dishes at this point it's hard to comment on them all other than: try everything. Pretty good. read more

Always amazing! I love this place. Food is always tasty and fresh. I love the Dan Dan noodles.

My husband and I had such a lovely experience at Dan Dan today. We sat "inside" but the large doors were open so it felt like an open air experience. All of the employees were unbelievably attentive and kind, and we felt our dining experience was so personalized. The food was simply delicious and the staff worked hard to help me decide on a dish that would suite me. I During such an unprecedented time, DanDan really delivered with grace. :) read more

I have frequented DanDan on a few occasions. Each time has been better than the last. I would highly recommend the twice cooked dish with fish. The only drawback is the dim lighting. Great for a romantic experience but brutal for reading the menu. If you're in the area or on a date, this is a great restaurant to visit read more

We made reservations for 2 last night at 7, a Monday. Our table was not ready when we arrived. No problem... but... then took over 15 minutes to get water and any orders in, 30 minutes for wine, over an hour for our food. One entree was served 15 minutes before the second one. Wrong rice. Our appetizers came after our entrees. Our wine pours were very small and unsatisfying especially since our food took so long and was not that tasty overall. Nothing was apologized for or comped. My third time trying Dan Dan, Wayne and still not charmed. read more

We go to Dan Dan every week and have so for 2 years now. It is an amazing place to enjoy the best cuisine of it's type in the city. We actually ventured beyond our go to order for the last month to explore new taste sensations. Today we had Spicy Beef and hand ripped noodles, scallion pancakes and green peppercorn hot sauce dish with chicken! It was simply superb. Wonderful atmosphere and our friend Steph took wonderful care of us (as always). Not just great food - but a wonderful experience. read more

This is my new schezuan spot. Dan Dan noodles on point, spice levels correct, and a pretty good cocktail. I will say the meal was well priced but I felt the cocktail was a bit high. I enjoyed the dry pot lamb and it was to die for. I saved some and had it the next day. read more

My wife and I have been ordering from here for quite a while and have always enjoyed it (even though it is overpriced). I don't know if they've recently switched chefs but our most recent experience was horrendous. The food simultaneously spicy and yet flavorless at the same time. read more

My love of Dan Dan continues and even better closer to home...found Dan Dan in Philly and now there's one right by home...same awesomeness without the traffic to Center City. I personally can't get enough of the spicy cucumbers, and actually think the the Dry Pepper Chicken has gotten better (...may have name wrong here, it's the chicken lightly battered with dry peppers...whatever it is it is delicious) ...the light batter packs such a good flavor. I usually get one for the "table to share" which is just my way of ordering an extra appetizer ;) While Craig Leban put Dry Pot Fish on Philly's top 25 dishes, I think I might like the chicken version even better. Also love the flavor and texture of their signature Dan Dan noodles even though I'm not a noodle guy....another secret "for the table order" so I can get a taste. My only issue with this place is I keep wanting to order the same stuff I had before so I'm not getting to the rest of the menu. Long story short I continue to recommend anyone who wants authentic Sichuan restaurant make the trip to Dan Dan whether in Devon or 16th and Sansom in Center City. Trust me this is not run of the mill "Chinese" food, its a really good different and authentic. THANK YOU Devon DAN DAN...So glad to see them busy in their new Devon location because now I'm spoiled and can have same great food with a 5 minute drive instead of 45 minutes. On a side note...hat tip to their designer, this wall in the back inspired me...exceptional composition. read more

We went at lunchtime, and both service and food were excellent. The server was particularly good with our toddler, making sure he was well-secured, and bringing out plastic utensils and water in a plastic cup for him. My wife and I like spicy, and this place fit the bill. The food was flavorful, and the portions were big. Drinks were a little pricey. Desserts sounded good and were reasonably priced, but we were too full by the end to partake. Will definitely be returning, lots of other stuff on the menu I want to try. read more

Dan Dan meets the needs of suburbanites looking for relatively authentic Sichuan food in an upscale-casual restaurant. The lunch combos are a good selection of items and I like the fact that they give you some spicy cucumbers. I could eat a whole dish of these. The angular rice bowl, while providing a clean and modern aesthetic, makes it difficult to navigate with chopsticks. Looking forward to coming back and trying the other dishes, including the namesake. read more

Very nice trendy restaurant with authentic Chinese food. Would love to get a few drinks next time.

The food is delicious! I am sure that a lot of people are worried that the food is too exotic or spicy and there are some really authentic dishes but the menu is so diverse there are plenty of options. There are many dishes that are not spicy and kids would enjoy as well. I personally like the spicy dishes but I do have kids and a lot of friends that cannot stand the heat! My favorite dish is the hot pot, the dumplings and soups are delicious! read more

My wife and I recently tried Dan Dan for the first time and were blown away. From the cocktails (homemade ginger ale) to the entrees everything was excellent. We had the Dan Dan noodles and Dry Pot Beef and neither disappointed. Amazingly fresh and very good portion sizes. We can't wait to go back! read more

My wife & I are big fans of the Dan Dan in center city Philadelphia. About a year and a half ago we became suburbanites, and we're thrilled that now Dan Dan has too! We just had our second visit to the Wayne location and all of our favorites (pictured are Wontons in Chili Oil, Spring Rolls, Crispy Spicy Cucumbers, Veggie Pot Stickers, and Dan Dan Noodles) are just as tasty in Wayne as they are on 16th Street. The space itself is beautiful and much larger than the downtown space. I'm looking forward to lots of visits to the bar for cocktails (and of course some delicious bites). read more

Yes. The food and environment are good, but can not comment on services.

Dan Dan is amazing, I went with another person and the total cost of the meal was perfect for dinner. We even had leftovers to eat at lunch the next day. If you like spicy food or Taiwanese this is the place to go! I had the chili oil cooked wontons and they were PERFECT, the three cup chicken was amazing as was the dry pot pork (I'm a wimp when it comes to spicy food so we leveled it down one). Dan Dan also has excellent waiters, when we closed our menus (the sign that you're ready to order) the waitress came within three seconds and was really nice. A five-star is a perfect rating for Dan Dan, from the excellent food and glorious waiting to cheap prices for a fancy restaurant and nice staff. Just a couple of details in case you were wondering. 1. The time was 4:00- it was not very busy and our appetizers came within ten minutes of ordering. 2. We were at the one in Devon Square 3. I ordered the wontons, Dan Dan noodles, three cup chicken, and the dry pot pork read more

Update: I wrote the below review a while ago just because I loved Dan Dan's food. Recently I shared with a a manger there that I had just lost my dear brother in law, who lived in China for a while, and just absolutely loved the food here. They offered for our family to come and have a beautiful private lunch there after his memorial service, and we're just absolutely lovely and caring. I will never forget their kindness during a really difficult time. A place full of beautiful and caring people, on top of amazing food! read more

New place to eat when I'm visiting on the Main Line! Superb food and great decor. Nice outdoor eating area. The only black mark was the cold sesame noodles. No sesame flavor at all. In fact, rather bland altogether. This however, was the exception -- and not enough to keep me from coming back. read more

Love their Dan Dan noodles! they aren't crazy on customizations to the dishes so I've been told by staff but it's no worries because they are delicious! A bit pricey for take out but if you're craving Dan Dan noodles, this is the spot in Wayne. read more

So typically when you go to a restaurant and ask how long the wait is the maitre'd over estimates how long the wait is this way they can under promise and over deliver. I came in and they told me it was a half hour wait. 45 mins later I followed up and they said oh sorry I didn't say anything but it's going to be another 30 minutes. Lesson learned order takeout because their food is really good as you can see from other reviews. read more

Loved this place. The decor was lovely, and the food and service were both excellent. Will definitely be coming back!

The Wayne setting is a pleasant location. Service was very good. However, the food was unexceptional. Dry pot chicken, listed as spicy, was bland. My wife's tofu stew rated as 4/5 "dots" hot, was bland as well. The quality does not warrant the prices. read more

Excellent place, food and service! Ambiance is good. We have been there several times. Always consistent quality.

Food was good, but I have thrown up all 3 times after going there. Would not recommend unless you're looking for food poisoning.

Unexpected treat!! Stumbled upon this when we were out shopping. Food was top notch and delicious! Service was great as well! I highly recommend!! read more

Dan Dan (Wayne location) never disappoints, innovative drinks and authentic Sichuan and Taiwanese food (the garlic eggplant and home style flounder are a new fave). Add on molten matcha cake, fried ice cream, and sesame red bean paste balls? Heaven Even the take out food here is great, we easily have our fix once a week! Really wanting to try their location in Ritten House Square as well. It's just so hard to find such great food for this value! At the Wayne location, Jake, Kat, And Joseph really make sure you are enjoying the dining experience. Giving great food and drink recommendations. read more

Dan Dan noodles were sooo good! The cucumbers were really good as well. Would def come back. Noodles were comparable to Han dynasty in my opinion read more

Five stars for the food! Service was okay. Wait was terrible. We didn't have a reservation and were told our wait would be 30 minutes for a party of four. We checked in forty five minutes later for an update and were told thirty more minutes. Are you kidding me? Did they want us to walk away? I know sometimes restaurants do that. We stayed anyway because we were dying to have the food. As soon as we were finally seated I put in the following for starters: scallion popover pancake, scallion pancakes (the regular), Taiwanese pork belly burger, soup dumplings, and dan dan noodles all of which arrived promptly so we didn't get to order our food til they noticed we didn't. The food arriving fast, the food tasting delicious, and the workers not minding us for eating a lot and staying over two hours made up for the over hour wait to be seated. Don't go here without reservation on a weekend. Won't do that again. read more

The food was really exceptional and it was a great atmosphere. My son and I tried the DanDan noodles which were a little spicy but exceptional none the less. The soup dumplings were a little dried out, could have been plumper and moister, but also they were tasty. The shrimp / seafood fried rice and duck sandwiches were really good. Last, the spring rolls were ok, but fairly run of the mill. The Hendricks gin and tonic was well made, just forgotten and delivered mid meal. Overall the waiter was great, very friendly and laid back. He had good support from team members on clearing old plates, but sometimes they delivered the wrong food to surrounding tables. Highly recommend this restaurant.Pot Stickers almost forgot: they were great. read more

This is my favorite authentic Asian restaurant on the Mainline. I would suggest stepping out of your comfort zone and trying the many authentic dishes available...along with a giant glass of water. My favorites so far are : crispy spicy cucumbers, pork belly everything, beef and tripe in chili oil (don't google just eat), wontons and dumplings in chili oil, Cold sesame noodles, dan dan noodles (So On point here), pumpkin pork rice noodles (my Favorite non spicy dish), twice cooked dish, dry pot dish, ginger scallion dish with Fish, mapo tofu, baby bok Choi to name a Few. You can't go wrong here. Even the fried rice is better. They use the most fresh ingredients and you can tell! Thank you to Dan Dan for giving us more DIVERSE options here instead of having to trek it into the city! Now everyone go eat! read more

The food is amazing. My experience in the restaurant was okay but I guess because it was a Sunday afternoon...which makes sense! The server was nice and definitely helpful read more

This is a Chinese restaurant, but it is clean and American decorations. I guess the boss is American. I ordered dan dan mian - but I suggest they change this name to "hot dry noodle" because it is 武汉热干面。 lots of sesame sauce in it , and lots of noodles. The other one dry beef is good, I can tell it is from very high temperature. May be I expect more when I saw four stars so I only have three. Btw, their service is very good, as most American restaurant and unlike most Chinese restaurant. I decided to change to four star because I saw a red 小米椒 in beef, I like it. read more
