Cute, quaint, great decor, clean and delicious. Everything from the Ramen and sushi to the Hibachi is delicious!! AND the juicy pork dumplings are SO good! As for the bubble tea and green tea cake, big thumbs up! The wait staff is friendly but the owner (or possibly manager) is even friendlier and just the kindest! She truly makes you feel welcomed! Highly recommend!!Kid-friendliness: When she’s there, the owner always takes the time to say hello and bring our kid a little sweet snack. It’s very sweet!
Good food served fast and the service was good except I think I had like three different servers which I thought was a bit chaotic. I think they have some issues with managing their staff who goes where Etc. I took home in order of pork buns but it was just like a little meatball of pork inside a lot of bun so that was great but the kimchi was excellent. the prices were a little high but it's a very nice place.

We've been there quite a few times, and the quality of their food is consistently good. No wonder they are doing well, always packed at dinner time. This time we got there early (5:30) to best the crowd and there were already 4 tables with customers. For appetizers, we had their special King Caterpillar (seared salmon with lobster salad), and fried oysters. They have extensive menu so it's always a challenge to decide what to get for entrees. I was craving for noodles so got the Taiwanese minced pork noodles. My husband loved poke bowl, so he got the salmon poke bowl. Everything was delicious. In the past we've tried their juicy dumplings, pancake wrap, and duck bao. They're all good. The place was nicely designed and very clean. Service was friendly and efficient. I also enjoyed watching the programs played on tv talking about how food was prepared traditionally. We've always enjoyed coming here. You should give it a try too when you're in the area.

Best sushi and ramen around! Great service, lovely evening. You know it's great when the owner is part of your wait staff.
This is the first time I am writing a review simply because I have never found a restaurant that was so spectacular it was worth a review; Dan Zai is the exception. I have never had such good ramen. In fact it was so good I felt as if I were floating on top of a cloud while I was having that Japanese style beef ramen. I highly recommend you try the ramen from this restaurant 10/10.

If you rated high on its ramen then you know nothing about it. Went there for ramen for the first and last time. The watery broth is the worst ramen I have ever had. This is the first time I did not finish the broth. It's owned by Taiwanese so they know nothing about ramen. The broth is everything in ramen. If the broth sucks, then the ramen sucks. Never go back again!

First time here and absolutely loved it. All the sushi dishes were fresh, flavorful and beautifully presented. The Annie’s soup is light yet loaded with flavors. Shaved ice dessert was unlike anything I’ve ever had, full of surprising tastes and textures. Looking forward to trying the rest of the menu.

Initial ordered take out from a different local sushi restaurant on Valentines Day, waited one in a half hours for the order to still not be prepared for pick up. Ended up canceling the large order and calling DanZai...order was ready in 20 minutes, presention was great, food was delicious, and they threw in amazing homemade cookies. Thank-you DanZai for making this Valentines day special.

One of my wife's favorite restaurants and for good reason. Food is always so fresh and delicious and prepared so creatively.I really enjoy the Poke bowls which are seemingly endless! Fresh, delicious and healthy. While not solely a sushi restaurant you would not be wrong to just order anything off their sushi menu. Shaved ice for dessert is definitely worth trying. It's light, slightly sweet and a great finish to your meal.I think they have a chicken wing appetizer which are very large, almost full sized chicken wings but sooo good.There are also some more adventurous Taiwanese menu items so there is always a lot to try.Their appetizers are also so great you could just have a dinner of small plates and be super happy.If you haven't tried Dan Zai yet, you are most certainly missing out.Parking: At night, the parking spots right in front of the restaurant will fill up but there is a lot of parking available so not to worry.

Not good food, too much spice. Over price, small portions. Not worth the money. Nothing to recommend. Most of all , not honest place.
