Very nice experience with zeehan great hospitality with quality service. The food in itself was delicious!
We went to Dan Modern Chinese on a Thursday evening around 7:15pm. We had called earlier and were told there wasn’t a need to make reservations. When we got there, they had several tables available and we were seated immediately. The restaurant looks nice from the outside and was also very clean, roomy and comfortable inside. The restaurant doesn’t try to be a fancy affair, rather a casual spot and the furniture reflects it. That’s not a criticism, just a choice...read full review

Dan Modern Chinese is a stylish and modern restaurant in Manhattan Beach that offers a mix of well-executed and not-so-great dishes. The sauces and vegetables are well-cooked, but the noodles can lack the right texture. The service can be slow, but the servers are friendly and accommodating.
The Dungeness Crab fried rice, scallion pancake, and Xiaolongbao are standout dishes. The three cup chicken and short rib dan mein have also received praise from customers. While the pork crab, pork shrimp, and shrimp crab sauce dishes were good, the vegetable noodle dish was not as well-received.
The ambiance and decor of the restaurant are modern and inviting, creating a comfortable dining experience. Customers have noted the family-style presentation of the piping hot dishes, which showcases the authentic Chinese flavors. Overall, Dan Modern Chinese is a decent option for those craving Asian cuisine in the area, though there may be better choices available.
