    Great food. Really great spot. I will say the DanDan Noodles were not good at all. They had way too much what seemed like allspice which was highly unpleasant. The fried rice really fantastic even though some were a little scorched because the rice was probably too hot when they cooked the rice. The pork dumplings were simply out. Of. This. World. The single best thing I have tasted. Will def be back when we’re in Milwaukee again soon.

    Service was terrible. Asked for soy sauce 3 times and never received. Had to get up a go find someone to bring. Fried rice came after entrees finished and it was the wrong fried rice

    Excellent time. Waitresses put up with my dad’s mega dad jokes and questions in addition to helping us order (aka not order too much food). The hot and sour egg drop soup was phenomenal.

    My first time to DanDan and don't think I'll be back. First and foremost, the service is seriously lacking...and slow. After asking for a few more minutes before we received the check we proceeded to wait 45 minutes while trying to call out to our waiter. It was ridiculous. The food is not bad. The crab rangoon is the best I've ever had....actually tasted like crab. The Bao buns are enormous....like the size of a hamburger and looked like one too, just way too large. I'd be better if they were single buns vs a double. Chow fun was VERY salty. The pork dumplings are really good, again, bit salty but that was due to the lake of sauce and crunch toppings. The real head scratcher though was the Happy Chicken. It is a dry fried chicken, no sauce with the worlds supply of chili peppers....like over 15 per bowl. It was very odd. The heat was good, but of the 4 in our party everyone pushed them all aside. Fun atmosphere, very busy.
