Manager was the most professional,we ordered take-out went in a little early to check it out..Wow what service and the suggestions she added were the best..thank you
This place is truly a gem - everything about our experience here was great, and it's rare to find such high quality food at this price point. Give this one a try!
Service was excellent, very hands on. Atmosphere is perfect being within the plaza at PCH in 2nd St. The food was way too salty and should be addressed.

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 manager was professional, and her suggestions were the best. The vibe is very laid back, with a patio, a water fountain area for kids to play, 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, three cup chicken, chicken dish, sesame noodles, and chicken soup. 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. Delivery is quick and the food arrives hot. This restaurant never disappoints and is highly recommended for a fantastic experience.
