Located in a charming area near the Huntington Library, Dan Modern Chinese is a true gem. The food is prepared fresh and with authenticity, and the restaurant does not use MSG. The staff, including servers and managers, are always so nice and make everyone feel welcome. The vibe is very laid back, with a patio and parking directly across the way.
The menu offers something for most dietary restrictions, including GF and vegan options. Favorites include the best vegetable dumplings ever, pork and shrimp soup dumplings, pork and shrimp steamed dumplings, and the Spicy Pork Soup Dumplings. The egg fried rice is so simple but so good, and the string beans are a standout. Other delicious dishes include the Black Pepper Beef, Short Rib Dan Mein, Popcorn Shrimp, crispy tofu, mapo dofu, and three cup chicken. The green peppercorn pilsner and jasmine ice tea are also great choices. The xiao long bao has an insanely flavorful presence with a broth clarity and a tender dumpling wrapper with great structural integrity. This restaurant never disappoints and is highly recommended for a fantastic experience.
