Dan Modern Chinese

I think i like the Playa vista location better. The garlic broccoli and chicken fried rice was average. And I've had it prepared better before from the other location. Oh--and no soy sauce?

It was literally so good. I got the oxtail soup w pan fried dumplings and omg their soy sauce too is just super super good. Def coming here again. And my waiter/ staff was very nice!

Food is good, but they are *slow*. Placed an online order that was supposed to be ready for pickup in 30 minutes, but it took over an hour! Not worth the wait.

The food is good, but there's no excuse for screwing up one of two orders.

Chinese food isn't my first choice when I go to Sawtelle, but if other places are too busy or I'm craving noodles or dumplings, then Dan Modern Chinese will hit the spot. There's usually no wait, and the food is very good. I highly recommend the shrimp or short rib noodles (love the thick noodles), crab fried rice, and any of the XLB. I would skip the beef roll (I'm spoiled by 101 Noodle's beef roll).Prices are a tad high for Chinese food, but this is West LA, not SGV. Yes, you can get cheaper Chinese food in the area, but the food is probably better quality here. I didn't think anything was too oily, not even the noodles or fried rice. No headaches or food coma after the meal. Service was good. The manager came to check on us, and food came out fast. There's indoor and limited outdoor seating. Good, solid choice if you want Chinese food or don't want to wait an hour for other restaurants on Sawtelle.
