The atmosphere were really nice. The food was good the dumplings were delicious but being in the sauce made it fall apart a bit I rather had the sauce in the side. The beef was really good and overall liked the place a lot. I would recommend this place would visit it again to try their other foods.
March 2025
I ordered takeout from Dan Dan. The food was ready before the estimated time which was good. I ordered potstickers, Dan Dan noodles, and Taiwanese salt and pepper chicken.
Potstickers was your run of the mill potstickers, it was good. Dan Dan noodles were soooooo overcooked, the noodles were so soft that it was gross. The taste of the Dan Dan sauce was good, if they change the texture of the noodles it could be better. The Taiwanese salt and pepper chicken was good but...
February 2025
Their dan dan noodles are a must-try, and the spicy pot is decently delicious. The restaurant features a bar and offers a variety of Taiwanese and Chinese dishes where you can find something to satisfy any craving with decent flavors.
