Came here on a Sunday for a late lunch and it was pretty empty inside and outside. I was excited to try the newer location - the menu looks to be the same at all of the Dan Dan locations. The food came out insanely quick (almost a little too quick) and was exactly how I expected it. I would rank the Dan Dan locations in this order for both food and service: 1) Center City, 2) Ardmore, 3) Wayne. The natural lighting was beautiful and there's a section that looks like a sunroom/patio situation. I would love to sit there next time.

Delicious and a great vibe. Love the interior and the food was yummy, and great as leftovers for lunch :)

Generally, good. The duck pancakes have primarily fatty/chewy pieces. These should be better.

Great soup dumplings, tasty kung po chickens and many other Sichuan dishes. Really like that they can adjust spice level of their dishes as we aren't into very spicy food. Best Chinese restaurant in this part of Main Line!

Swung in for a quick afternoon drink with my wife, server was very friendly & answered questions. However I noticed other staff didn't really speak much, and spoke to other patrons as they left, not sure what that was about. However the establishment was very clean, and our drinks was very good.

Food was really good and portions are great but unfortunately the food was to spicy, ( I asked for mild and was still burning up ).

My husband and I frequent DanDan in Ardmore and are always impressed with the awesome food and service. Heather “Haven” is always an absolute highlight of our visits! An outstanding employee!
Food very very spicy, however one of us enjoyed, service terrible, waitstaff basically ignored us, only two people, ordered brown rice after we finally got someone s attention --- you did not get it! ! If you like very spicy food and being ignored go otherwise don't go! Ambience ok attractive if you go don't sit next to the wall where the vines will join you for dinner!!!

I love me some Dan Dan. This is the spot for some spice. Sichuan and Taiwanese food and they don't hold back. Our favorites are the Scallion Shrimp, Ginger Shredded Duck, Long Hot Beef, the Dry Pepper Chicken. You have to try the Baby Bok Choy & the Chinese Cabbage with Dried Peppers. The latter is maybe the most delicious thing I've ever eaten and I dislike cabbage. The atmosphere is busy but chic. The outside bar in the summer is fun. The service is always impeccable. The hosts can be a bit much. I mean, this is a shopping center. In Ardmore. Let's be for real here people. But if you can make it past the front door you won't be disappointed.
Finally Ardmore has some place good to eat. Price is reasonable. Customer service is fast. It was too fast they would bring whatever is ready first. So your entre might comes first then appetizers. They don't have much deserts selection.

Used to be good, they wanted to charge $20 just to make a reservation. Too greedy.

Love seeing Interesting ingredients and dishes I would not be able to recreate at home. That alone makes this place worth visiting. Their dumplings are tender and delicate, unlike thick balls dough at most restaurants. Their "spicy" food is actually spicy. Fun, innovative cocktails.

I ordered three kinds of food and the prices were reasonable.The red oil is deliciousThe garlic white meat sauce is a bit sweet and a bit greasy after eating it.The three-cup chicken is really not good? Don’t order it. The muscles should be deep-fried, then covered in sauce and stir-fried in the nine-layer pagoda. For my personal taste, it is too sweet. The muscles are very raw and not tender at all. It is a very failed dish.
