Everything was amazing from the moment we walked in! Our waiter Zeeshan was awesome and definitely deserves a raise!
Ray was phenomenal! First time here and every recommendation he made was fantastic. 10/5 service, will definitely be coming back, thanks Ray!
The food was delicious, especially the scallion pancakes, which were the best I’ve ever had. The Dan noodles were a good match with the braised beef. Popcorn chicken was delicious. The soup dumplings were okay, but they were not very large for the price. The rice and sides were also good.
The service was excellent, and the atmosphere was pleasant. If you’re in the area, I highly recommend it.

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.
