I had an incredible time at DanDan. Granted, it was because of my Chase CC that we got a prime time reservation and the meal was essentially free due to Open Table credit, but honestly, we were so happy with our experience. I completely agree that this isn't authentic chinese food, but approachable fusion that tries to keep it truthful to the flavors and presentation. The highlight of the meal was the peking duck, which they only have about 2 orders of a night. We snagged it immediately when we sat down and it can easily feed 4 people with the sides. The duck was juicy and cut into thick pieces, so it was more of a steak rather than a bao style that I am used to. Nevertheless, it was delicious and even warmed up well the next day. The green onion wraps were...strange in my opinion. They fell apart easily and didn't have the best flavor that complemented the duck. Overall, I would come back for the duck itself, but everything else was average or extra salty. Service was great and the staff are very attentive. Happy eating! read more

Came for dinner to use my Chase Sapphire dining benefit at Dan Dan in the Historic Third Ward. Here's my honest take. The vibe: It was packed at 7:15 PM on a Sunday, and they held firmly to our reservation time--which is understandable given the crowd. We took a nice stroll while waiting, so no harm done. Once seated, the service was excellent--attentive, prompt, and professional. The food: This is clearly high-end Americanized Chinese food, not authentic regional cuisine. If you go in expecting that, you'll have a better experience. The menu reads like a "greatest hits" collection--familiar dishes done with nicer ingredients and presentation. What worked well: Smashed Cucumber - A strong start. The cilantro and bean sprouts were exceptionally fresh, and the peanut finish added nice depth, though the sauce leaned a bit salty for my taste. Service and atmosphere - polished and efficient. What fell short for me: Wonton Soup - The wrappers were thicker than I prefer; I like a more delicate, translucent skin. The leek-based broth was pleasant, though. Salt & Pepper Cod - The seasoning was good, but the cod pieces were too thick, so the center remained bland. Halving the thickness would improve the texture. Mongolian Beef - Tender meat, but I wanted thicker cuts and larger onion pieces for more bite. It leaned a bit soggy for my preference. Rice Cake with Pork Belly - Pork belly was well-executed, but too many rice cakes overwhelmed the dish. The flavor leaned Korean (almost kimchi-like), which felt like a departure from the rest of the menu. Beef Chow Fun - Felt repetitive, using the same thin-sliced beef and bean sprouts as other dishes. I'd prefer charred broad rice noodlesthat are thin. These rice sticks were wide and thick,so like the cod, the center of the rice sticks were bland. I also preferred more eggs in this dish for variety. The overall pattern: Many dishes share similar ingredients and sauce profiles, which makes sense for a busy kitchen but does reduce variety across the meal. Bottom line: If you're looking for authentic, nuanced Chinese cooking, this probably isn't your spot. But if you want a polished, upscale version of familiar Chinese-American favorites in a great location, with reliable service, Dan Dan delivers that well. I personally wouldn't return, but I can see why it's popular--especially for the crowd that wants comfort food in a nicer setting. read more

The 90 mile trip to Milwaukee for their Peking Duck medley was SO worth it! Maybe the best I've ever had. Just do it and don't look back. Hint: be sure to call a day or two ahead and reserve your duck as they often sell out!

WOW! That food was the best I've had in a really long time. We ordered the pork sichuan dumplings - so flavorful! Then the smashed cucumbers that were light and tasty. They came with peanuts which I had never had before but LOVED the combo. Then we had the Dan Dan noodles which were meaty, and the peppers were spicy! I really liked the flavor, it had more curry in it than I expected. Finally we ended with the beef chow fun. It had these thick, delicious rice noodles YUM in still thinking about it. I think the dumplings and the beef chow fun were easily the best. This place has peanuts in most dishes I would stay away from here if you have an allergy. ALSO, portions are big here - the staff recommends sharing everything and I totally agree. The ambiance is very nice, it's lower lighting and is great for a dinner with your girlfriends or significant other. I loved the decorations! Our server was super nice and the food runners were super helpful! I will definitely be back again. read more

We were in town visiting some friends, and knowing we are huge foodies, they recommend we go to DanDan. Neither my husband and I had heard of it but our friends were talking about its popularity and incredible menu. I can say, this did not disappoint. We loved everything we ordered! The vibes were cool, it was packed on a Thursday night and our service was great. 100% would go back! read more

My friends from Madison and I have been dying to grab dinner here so it was a big deal when our many texts about "dinner at Dan Dan" left the group chat and became a Saturday night reality. I'll start with what we liked - the ambiance, the location in the historic Third Ward (although finding street parking close by can be tricky on a weekend), the service. Our server was friendly and knowledgeable about the menu which is always appreciated and makes for a better dining experience. When we arrived we had a reservation so it was nice to have zero wait time. We were led back to our table and ordered drinks. The non-alcoholic menu was slim on options but the options were creative. We were told dishes are made to be shared so we ordered a few bigger dishes and the kimchi pancakes. When the kimchi pancakes came out it was nice that they were deconstructed so you could build your own as you like. Kimchi can be an acquired taste so I personally liked being able to control how much I had in each bite. The other dishes were large. These are not shareable dishes- they are legt. main courses. The Mongolian beef was ok. It had a lot of vegetables and color which was nice. The Mapo Tofu dish was a let down. It kills me to say that but it tasted funky. It was a strange flavor and not a good one. On the menu, this dish has three chili peppers next to it which the server told us indicated that it is one of the spiciest dishes on the menu. It had zero heat and zero spice. I asked for some chili crunch to add on top which I also thought fell flat on flavors. The flavors all around just weren't jiving for me. And there was fresh cilantro (maybe?) on top which did not help the situation. In hindsight the Top Chef coverage of Dan Dan and hype in the local media made us think every dish here was going to be amazing and unfortunately we didn't think so. I don't need to return any time soon. read more

Restaurant is pretty inside. I got in a little after 5pm when they open and nearly all the tables were filled except for a few. I was by myself and was seated in one of their high top tables. I ordered the Sichuan pork dumplings and dill dumplings. I noticed the regular tables all had a bunch of chopsticks you could grab already at the table. The high top tables did not have any chopsticks. They automatically gave everyone fork and knife but not chopsticks- at least at the high tops. I didn't like that I had to wait 5 minutes after receiving my food to get my chopsticks. The 3 high top tables neglected of chopsticks. I was surprised because this is supposed to be a Chinese restaurant. The Sichuan pork dumplings were good. Had a little kick to them. The dill dumplings I didn't like too much. I love pickles but the mustard didn't complement the flavor of the dumplings well for me. When you get your check you will see an automatic 5% employee benefits charge on your bill. My waitress was nice and attentive. read more

It's my mistake for not doing my homework on a restaurant. In the past it's been mentioned that DanDan was a very good restaurant to patronize. But in my opinion $30 for a Friday lunch buffet is very very expensive and it's my fault for checking the prices before hand. No wonder it was not very busy plus the impression that I got was that you needed a reservation on the OpenTable App upon arrival Service was excellent for this timeframe It's all street parking but a parking lot is available after 5 PM for the dinner service Would I come back to try the dinner menu is probably not unless someone else invites and or treats me to dinner here plus 5% service charge is added to help pay for employees benefits but can be removed if requested Since there is no Asian restaurant close by they can charge the prices they want most likely read more

I LOVE DanDan. The restaurant is such a cool concept and the food is amazing. I have been here many of times and have never tried a menu item I disliked. They have the best crab ragoons in the Milwaukee and I love the walnut shrimp. The service is always fast and the drink menu has alcohol options, NA options, and THC options. I also enjoy their Friday lunch buffet for those that want to try many of their food options. read more

Visited on a Monday night at 6pm and the room was packed. The sichuan pork dumplings ($15) and short rib potstickers ($16) were flavorful, but small in serving. The dough of the potstickers were dry and chewy like they hadn't been cooked enough, but were accompanied by an incredibly tasty sauce. The CUMIN BEEF SLAP NOODLES ($23) were 10/10 - changed my life. The beef was tender, not chewy, and rich in flavor which complimented the soft biang biang noodle. Happy chicken ($22) was spicy, as expected, with a sweet sauce, but not the most captivating dish on the menu. The mango crème brûlée ($13) flavor was too intense for me. It tasted like fake mango flavoring. Would recommend the island magic cocktail ($15) and lucky Buddha beer ($7). They were out of Sapporo which was disappointing for an Asian based restaurant. Our server, Nicholas, was fantastic - attentive and friendly! The ambiance is pleasant and cozy. read more

Most of the restaurants we dine at are usually the result of someone else's recommendation, so we typically have high expectations. I don't often give a 2-star rating to these restaurants, so I was sad that our experience here was so disappointing. We had 5:15 reservations on a Wednesday evening. There were not too many people there when we arrived, and we got seated right away. The last time we were at this location, it was the "Tulip" restaurant, which served excellent Mediterranean cuisine. Food: To start, we ordered a couple of specialty cocktails: the Island Magic #815 for me and Murphy's Law for her. Both of these were delicious. For food, we decided on the Dill Dumplings, Pad Thai, and Rice Cakes & Pork Belly. They serve everything tapas-style, so each dish should be at optimum temperature when it comes out. The Dill Dumplings arrived first. They were flavorful, with an excellent mix of flavors. I'm not sure if this is intended, but they are heavily seared on only one side. They need to be eaten whole; otherwise, the halves deconstruct and you end up having to chase the escaped meat around the plate. Is this a serious issue? Only if you want to keep all the flavors together for the most satisfying bite. The Rice Cakes & Pork Belly came next. On the first bite, you are overwhelmed by how salty this dish is. The flavors are excellent with the exception of the salt. The textures are good too, other than how rubbery the rice cakes were. The server noted this when we ordered, but instead of "rubbery," she said "chewy." I like chewy. This was definitely rubbery. This dish was painful to eat because it could have been just so much better. The last dish to arrive was the Pad Thai. It was good, but not remarkable. After our meal, we wanted to end on a high note with dessert. We love crème brûlée, and they had a mango version. Great combination! When it arrived, it was a BIG bowl with a nicely caramelized top. It had a satisfying snap when you pushed your spoon through it. But underneath, there was no firm custard. It was literally a bowl of mango soup. This is not an exaggeration. It was so loose that you couldn't keep it on the small spoons. So disappointing. Service: Everyone we interacted with during the meal was kind and pleasant. We enjoyed the service at our table. The server and the food runners did a nice job with our orders, drinks, and food. They were eager to answer our questions and make suggestions. When we mentioned the issues we had with our food, I wasn't sure they were enthusiastic about relaying our concerns to the kitchen. Both the Rice Cakes & Pork Belly and the crème brûlée were a bit of an embarrassment. Without us asking, they did offer to take the dessert off the bill. We are not in the business of negotiating the price of a bad meal, so the entire situation was uncomfortable. Atmosphere: The interior of the place is really well done. It definitely gives you the vibe of Asian food, but with a twist. I have not been to Asia, but I could imagine this restaurant fitting in. There are plenty of interesting things to look at, with hanging pictures, ceramics, and quirky tchotchkes. We were surprised by how bad our experience was. With the owners (Dan & Dan) being mentioned in many local food articles, I expected much better. With that in mind, we are not planning to go back. read more

Wanted to try something new in Milwaukee, and I kept seeing Dandan pop up on social media--so of course, we had to try it. We got there about 20 minutes after opening. The minute we walked in, a man sitting next to the hostess--who appeared to be part of the restaurant, not a customer--just stared at us. No greeting, no smile... just staring. The hostess also seemed a bit confused when we walked in. She asked if we had reservations; we said no. Then she asked if a high-top table was fine, as if the restaurant were packed. We agreed, assuming there would be a long wait for a regular table. But as she led us over, there were plenty of regular tables available. So right off the bat, the vibe wasn't particularly welcoming. As for the service, the waitress did a great job with the welcome and checked on us at a perfect pace. We also liked the decor--plenty of cute design elements that would make for great photos and draw people in. The menu was well done too: not overwhelming, just the right amount of variety in each category. Honestly, this part is why I gave the place more stars than I probably should have. As for the food, it was just okay for us--though that may have been due to what we ordered. There were only two of us, and we got three dishes: shrimp fried rice, beef chow fun, and kung pao chicken. We thought that would give us a good variety. The food had good flavor, but all three dishes tasted very similar. If you try these same dishes elsewhere, the flavors are usually more distinct. I do wish we had tried more of the appetizers and drinks--maybe that would have changed our rating a bit. read more

When you first walk into DanDan, you're welcomed with an abundance of plants where the host brings you to your table. We made reservations, so we were sitted pretty quick. Upon being sitted we were greeted and helped by our server, Peyton, who was beyond helpful. Gave us suggestions of the best sellers, as well as, his personal favorites. He was friendly and quick to clear our table or help us with anything we needed. My friend and I started dinner with the Sichuan Pork Dumplings and two mocktails; Company Refresher and Puttin' on the Spritz. The Sichuan Pork Dumplings were so good. Can't go wrong with Dumplings and chili oil. The sauce was so good, we ended up saving it to pair with our rice dish. The two mocktails were amazing as well. Of the two, the Company Refresher was my favorite as it, tasted like strawberry soda. For the main course, we got the Happy Chicken, Glass Noodle Stir Fry, and the Beef Chow Fun. All of the dishes were amazing! The Happy Chicken was not too spicy and was nice and crispy, it also came with a side of rice. My favorite was the Glass Noodle Stir Fry. The noodles were chunky and chewy. I loved the mixed of vegetables within the dish. The Beef Chow Fun was also an amazing dish. I felt like we had more beef than noodles mixed in it. Overall, everydish did not disappoint! Definitely will come back to try the other dishes and maybe some of their drinks! read more

We have been wanting to try DanDan after seeing Dan on Top Chef Wisconsin this past summer. The service was excellent, and the waitress was a stitch. Kept us smiling and well attended. We started out with potstickers and crab rangoons, the flavors and the sauce were wonderful, we both had a cocktail that were unique and good For dinner, we split a happy chicken, caramelized, spices with signature peppers were delicious. I have to admit I love spice for flavor and the balance of spices were wonderful ....Very flavorful and Not too hot. We opted for a shared dessert of mango crème brûlée ... Yum. Would I go back? Yes, was it overly crowded? No, we were seated quickly. Definitely five out of five. read more

My fiancé says: DanDan? I'm a FanFan! We went just after opening time on a Sunday. It was already starting to fill up and by time we left it was almost fully packed. I think that must say something great about this place! I enjoyed the ambience, with dim lighting, interesting decor, and nice touches like the water glasses, menus, etc. Despite being super busy, the staff were still very attentive and the food was timely. We enjoyed the family-style aspect of the dishes and the meals were large portions. We started off with the egg rolls and potstickers. The egg rolls were fantastic! Well cooked and paired with sweet and sour sauce. The potstickers were also good, just not our favorite based on the chewy nature of the dumpling and short rib filling. The dinners were all great! The right amount of spice and flavor and each ingredient shined. Both chicken dishes had the right balance of sauce to breading to chicken ratio. Overall, would definitely recommend for a visit! read more

One of the first places my boss told me to try upon moving to MKE and immediately realized why. It feels like a modern and American spin on the Chinese food experience with some fun and bright cocktails. The food is what sells it however as the beef and broccoli was some of the best I've ever had. The crab rangoons and the Szechuan dumplings were equally amazing. Truly one of the better places I've had the pleasure of dinning at will be back as many times as I'm able to find my way to it. read more

First time to DanDan in a solid 2-3 years and was happy to be back! My husband and I went for a date night on a Tuesday. We booked reservations ahead just in case, which was probably the good choice because it was almost full. After being sat a two-top our server swiftly brought over waters and reminded us how the menu/food service works: it's recommended to share items as every dish comes out as soon it's ready, which makes food arrival very staggered. Honestly I kind of love this concept! We chose three menu items and that was plenty! The smashed cucumbers were sooo dang good and refreshing. Literally going to try to remake these at home. Big fan of the dill and chilis incorporated. Loved the general tao cauliflower bites too. Tons of flavor and plenty of rice to pair. The last dish to arrive was the Singapore noodles, which were also five-stars. They had a bit of a kick which was perfect. The entire meal was a win and the Japanese beers paired great. One thing I think worth mentioning is the "wellness surcharge" that showed up on the bill. Upon looking into it, I guess it's charge used to pay staff benefits like health insurance? And hey I'm not against that at all (I worked in the service industry for yearsss and totally get it/would have appreciated that). However it seemed a little odd they don't make you aware ahead of time. Just thought I'd share the info as I can see some folks not loving this or not loving being told about it. All in all, my husband had a wonderful dinner and experience. Definitely rec others come here! read more

Important to know that I didn't eat dishes from DanDan's main menu but rather the set coursed meal as part of their "Dim Sum Guest Chef Series" with Chef Eva Chin. It was a bit disappointing given my high expectations from Dan's run on Top Chef. All-in we paid $90pp and as a couple we had to share a "properly portioned" plate of food for 2 ppl for each of the 4 courses with 7 sampled dishes. The Pipa Tofu dish made with sweet shrimp and watercress was the most unique item that I tried. Other than that, the food was relatively bland or not fresh enough for my liking. The staff were pretty impersonable too. The crowd was more American than Asian and the menu was clearly watered down to fit local appetites. I don't know that I'd come back to try their main menu..ask me in a few months. read more

The service and ambiance was good but the food was not that great. I expected a lot from this restaurant based on other reviews but every dish sort of tasted the same.

I've been exited to try Dan Dan for a while! It's a very cute place on the corner. Everyone was very friendly. We were seated without a reservation at the bar, and the bartender was great (even made sure I got free birthday cookies). We loved the appetizers. The crab rangoons were so so good, great texture! I wasn't over the moon about the entrees. I had the dan dan noodles and it felt like there were way too many competing flavors. My husband was also not in love with his dish. I think for the price and how highly people speak of Dan Dan, we were hoping for better plates. That aside, we did enjoy our time, portion sizes were good and ambience was great! read more

Solid... I will preface this review by saying that it may be slightly skewed by a lot of hype before trying. We were immediately greeted on a busy day without a reservation and decided to sit at the bar. We enjoyed the service at the bar as the bartender did a great job walking us through the menu and concepts. I will say the aesthetic is also nice warming for a great date night. Where the appetizers and wings weee great. However, our main courses to me just had a little too much going on with to many flavor profiles trying to be mixed together. I commend them for the creativity but just felt like the mixes made things a little overwhelming. We did enjoy the desert served in honor of my wife's birthday though. Overall, solid would probably stick to appetizer style dishes though. read more

Loved this place! Its Asian tapas. We were seated in the back, an area with only a few tables, and it was much quieter than the main area up front. Our server was great and recommended a drink he made up (he is also a bartender). It was Pey-Pey's Dessert Daisy and it had a little kick. Really good. Kind of like a Margarita, but no lime. We started with the crab rangoon, real crab and probably the best rangoon I have ever had. Don't skip it. We had the pork dumplings - very good, the vegetable fried rice - very good, the walnut shrimp - sooooo good and the kung pao chicken - okay. Great food and reasonable prices. read more

Finally tried @dandanmke yesterday! How am I just now trying this place? Heaven. Yall, no joke, this was amazing. Asian fusion is a favorite of mine, so I have been dying to try this place for a while. It lived up to all of the hype. 1. Atmosphere: 10/10. The vibes were intimate, warm. Beautiful Asian decor, notes of red across the rooms. We have a two year old daughter, so they got bonus points for being so accommodating. 2. Service: 100/10. Will was our server, I have never met a server that makes you feel like a best friend. He greeted us with the most chill demeanor, checked on us just the right amount of times, engaged with our daughter and dealt with typical two year old behavior with charm. Simply amazing. There was also another waitress that talked with our daughter throughout our visit and brought her a "surprise" of fortune cookies in a rice to-go container. This made my daughter's day! My mama mind was so relaxed. 3. Drinks: 10/10. My husband and my mom got dirty martinis. I got the T-H-Tea "mocktail", which had 10mg THC, rishi black tea, lemon, and peach puree. It was so refreshing and delicious. It gave me the perfect "high", very relaxed and still able to function normally. Very important with a toddler 4. Food: 11/10. Like I said above, DELICIOUS. We shared all small plates and entrees so we could try multiple, different items. We started with the egg rolls (not our favorite, personally... but could see how many would love them) and the crab rangoons (okay, we could've ordered so many more of these. They were THAT good. The fresh crab flavor, which is rare for rangoons, put this dish over the top). Next, we ordered the shrimp fried rice (hands down, my favorite fried rice in the city. The fried egg was cooked just right, the aioli was perfection, the shrimp was fresh, and the flavors meshed so well). Finally, we tasted the orange chicken (comes with a very generous bowl of sticky rice, the orange flavor was divine) and the sichuan pork dumplings (such a fun twist on traditional dumplings that I am used to, but wow it was delicious. A bit spicy, but very bearable!) Overall, this place will be at the top of my recommendations list! read more
