Dan Modern Restaurant delivers a comforting yet refined experience centered on freshness. The house-made noodles are a standout, springy and silky, soaking up bold, balanced flavors in every bite. Popcorn shrimp dumplings are playful and memorable, crispy on the outside with juicy shrimp and a savory crunch that keeps you reaching for more. To finish, the tea selection is fragrant and soothing, perfectly complementing the meal and cleansing the palate. Dan Modern feels thoughtful, modern, and satisfying, making it a spot worth revisiting with friendly service and consistent quality throughout

The food is beyond expectation! The soup dumplings and pork chop fried rice are my favorite. They are all authentic (well that’s a compliment!) even though they call it modern Chinese. Also we enjoyed the vibe in the restaurant. The price is fair too. We will definitely visit again.

Contemporary Chinese restaurant with a welcoming atmosphere achieved by the friendly staff. I liked the taste, presentation and highYum! quality of the ingredients. Try the pea sprouts, salt and pepper tofu.

Promptly seated, the patrons were not engaged in any activities. Paige, the server, was exceptionally welcoming and courteous, providing excellent service throughout our dining experience. We ordered the chicken fried rice, green beans, chicken long bao, and spicy pork and shrimp dumplings. Each dish was delectable and reasonably priced. The restaurant exudes a warm and inviting atmosphere, featuring ample outdoor seating.

We come here often enough for an honest review.
It’s consistent. The food is always fresh, it’s not quite authentic but it curves the craving for dumplings. The cucumber salad is a hit or miss, but a favorite to order. We get the steamed dumplings and they’re good. The price matches the location. The garlic green beans are really good. The Dan mein noodles are great. If you are on the fence about which one to get, get the thicker ones (Dan mein noodles). If you’re in the village, it’s worth a try.

The best soup dumplings in the West San Fernando Valley. Upscale, modern, but still feels family owned. The beef roll was definitely a pleasant surprise. Had never had it before. THE SHORT RIB FRIED RICE IS PHENOMENAL!!! The chicken dumplings are soooo yummy, I craved them for a week after we had them. Grab some friends and enjoy this awesome modern Chinese restaurant

It is really fun that we found this place. The food is just exactly what we wanted. The soup dumplings were just right with the right amount of soup. The chicken noodle soup was delicious. The fried rice was delicious. The Boca matchas were good. All in all a great meal. Get the crispy dumpling. It is the best crispy dumpling I’ve ever had.

This is not your typical Chinese restaurant so check the menu if you are craving a specific dish before you come here. If there are XLBs on the menu I’m getting them so this visit to Dan Modern was no different. Coming in I was comparing everything to DinTai. The Xiao long bao’s were really good, just enough soup inside and the filling was very flavorful. We ordered the pork and pork and dungenous crab. I personally liked the pork much better. There’s five xlb’s per serving. Also ordered the spicy XLB, I was expecting them in swimming in spicy sauce but instead the filling is spicy without the sauce. I was dipping it in chili oil so not sure if the filling was super spicy or if it was my dipping sauce.
I ordered the pan fried handmade dumplings but meant to order the crispy ones so I’ll have to try those the next time. Pan fried were tasty but a little oily.
We ordered the short rib Dan noodles now this dish was bomb! I would definitely order this again. Shrimp fried rice was good too, good sized portion generous with the shrimp and just overall tasty.
Some cons were the service was slow and not that attentive especially seeing that there were not that busy. Being that they are a new restaurant hope they work this out.
Restaurant is located at the Village near 24 hours fitness closer to REI.
