The food here was really good. Portion sizes are pretty big, a lot bigger than I expected. Very nice place. Service was a little slow but nothing to be alarmed about. Would come back for sure.
Stopped here for takeout and we enjoyed our selections. We ordered salt n pepper crispy wings, a noodle dish and some spring rolls. Food was flavorful and tasty. Service was fast. Street parking was available.
came here for dandan noodles. got dandan noodles. happy with the dandan noodles.
also got scallion pancakes 7.5/10. nothing amazing but met expectations.
i LOVED the noodles in the cumin lamb hand-ripped noodles. idk who ripped them but the texture was amazing and it soaked up all the good flavor.. or maybe i just like wide large noodles 🤔
good quality food at a reasonable price and great location. if i move to this area, i would be a regular.

My daughter wanted to try some dumplings in chili oil and my oldest went on a hunt to look for a location. So glad she found this GEM! By far my favorite restaurant while in Philly hands down. I already miss not being able to go back. Let me give you a break down of everything we ordered 🤗 For starters we went with the Pork Dumpling In Chili Oil…omg absolutely amazing cooked beautifully to perfection! We then had Scallion Pancakes, they were nice and flaky with the nice golden brown color…(I also paired it with another one of our meals). We then ordered the Garlic Sauce Chicken…wow, what an incredible choice that was! We think that it would be paired perfectly with some white rice, however, we had the scallion pancakes, so I paired it with that and it was great. Guest sitting closed to us got their order and I noticed one of their dishes of noodles and I was intrigued! I had to ask the bartender what it was that they were eating…he stated the DanDan Noodles, welp I went ahead and ordered some for our family! That was the best choice I made 🤤 these noodles are seasoned to perfection the spice level is a little spicy for me, but in a good way…you just have to try it for yourself. Lastly, we ordered the Spicy Beef Hand-Ripped Noodles and they were delicious the beef has a little more fat for my liking but that is what gives it the flavor, so I was not disappointed. Overall, an excellent experience with great customer service and a cozy environment! If I ever find myself back in Philly, I will definitely be back to patronize this establishment!!!
Dan Dan Rittenhouse is one of my favorite spots. Their Szechuan Chilli Oil is very delicious. The Szechuan Pot is a lot of food, spicy and amazing. The chilli dumplings and wontons are both excellent. The Spicy Cucumbers are surprisingly, very good. For alcoholic drinks, the Guava Fizz and Phoenix down are very good. A must try if you are in the area and like Szechuan style foods.

Wow! Doesn’t just live up to the hype but surpasses it. I ordered multiple small plates and a main which is a FEAST since each of the smalls alone is a generous enough to be a small meal. The spice level is fabulous 🔥 and the flavor is complex and tantalizing. The motivation for my review was really the beef tendon which is EXQUISITE. It’s cool and refreshing while also fiery and numbing. It has a perfect amount of salt and the tendon is shaved so thin and tender, it’s truly immaculate. Everything else has been fabulous too perhaps maybe with the exception of the scallion pancakes which are (dare I say?) a bit too flaky and crisp for my tastes, which is honestly a wild thing to complain about in a takeout order, so do with that what you will.
Amazing happy hour on the first floor! Lots of seating around the bar.
Super friendly staff, fast service, and really delicious food! Rick was very attentive in helping us order each of our choices.
Their slice levels are no joke! But most everything can be ordered with little or no spice.
Highly recommend!!!
Excellent Chinese restaurant in the Rittenhouse area. They have lots of traditional Szechuan dishes which was a delight! I had the Cumin Lamb Noodles. Spiced excellently and a good amount of peppers and noodles! I ordered online, the process was easy and the food was ready on time! Overall a great experience and excellent food!
Amazing, flavorful Sichuan and Taiwanese food! My favorite were the noodles—they were warm, had a perfect level of spice, and a great thickness. It wasn’t even too heavy, so I felt like I could eat a ton of it. The cucumbers were also fantastic and spicy. Of course, the scallion pancakes were excellent as well. Can’t go wrong with what you order here!
DanDan is heavenly. Absolutely adore their food for eat-in or takeout. Recommendations : spicy cucumbers, spicy wontons, DanDan noodles (of course), and scallion pancakes!
This place is SUPER cute for a date night or an intimate meal. The Dan Dan is spicier than I'm used to, but so incredibly flavorful. The Brussels Sprouts had bacon in them which was a pretty tasty experience. We didn't get anything that we didn't like. The staff was super nice and funny, and although it was a bit crowded initially, things were pretty spacious upstairs. I really enjoyed my time here as well as the food. Definitely recommend if you don't mind a bit of spice.
If you have been to Haan Dynasty, this place is pretty much their twin with the same Sichuanese dishes, maybe even more. Ordered their signature moscow mule variant for drinks and for food we ordered Dry Pepper Chicken and Cumin Lamb Hand Ripped Noodles and they did not disappoint! We were initially going to get the Dan Dan noodles instead of cumin lamb but the server recommended the cumin lamb instead. I usually don't like lamb because of the gamey taste and prefer beef more, but their lamb was well spiced and it was enjoyable! The dry pepper chicken tasted similar to Haan Dynasty but had sliced garlic in it which I loved. I love Sichuanese food and this place did not let me down.
Since this restaurant is pretty compact, I would definitely recommend reserving in advance in order to get a table. We didn't reserve so we sat by the bar instead.
The food was super authentic. The hostess who booked our reservation over the phone was superb. Our server knew the menu well and gave us her favorites as suggestions were also terrific. The kid at the check-in stand whose job is to greet and check guests in was an absolute twerp. Otherwise would have given 5 stars.
Very nice ambience! Delicious food. The traditional Dan Dan noodles were a bit on the spicier side, note if your tolerance is low.
I really enjoyed everything about this place. The vibe and decor were fantastic. The staff was beyond amazing. I had so much fun laughing and talking with the staff. It was a very welcoming place. Now for the delicious part...the food was phenomenal! I've never had spicy cucumbers before but it's something I need more of in my life. The spring rolls were cooked to perfection as well as the green beans. Oh and the fabulous bartender was spot on with the drinks. They do have a happy hour menu when you sit at the bar. I'll definitely be coming back again and again.
DanDan never disappoints! We always get takeout after returning from a trip. Noodle dishes and house special fried rice were delicious, as always. I will say spring rolls and scallion pancakes could have been crispier.
DanDan Rittenhouse is a little gem in the Center City area. Whether you dine in, carry out, or get delivery, expect flavorful food. I typically get the Dandan noodles but this time I was trying something new. I got the dry pepper dish with chicken while my girlfriend got the spicy beef hand-ripped noodles. We also got an order of spring rolls (2 per order) and Taiwanese minced pork rice.
Everything tasted good; the menu does a great job of giving an expected spice rating. Delivery from DoorDash was quite fast this time which helped since we had decided on DanDan rather last minute.
Spontaneous find! Went with the house specialty Dan Dan noodles. Delicious!!
The staff is super friendly, I highly recommend this restaurant!
Thank you chef!
Update**
Lunch was so good, I decided to come back for dinner.
I ordered the cumin lamb with the hand ripped noodles, OMG- my taste buds are in heaven and so am I!!! Kate on the bar was super friendly along with the rest of the staff!!
Thanks again Chef!
