Me and my bestie were looking for a local spot in the area that we haven't tried yet, and she came across this place and thought we should give it a try. We drove over and just FYI - it is located in a strip mall, so parking can be a bit tough, so plan ahead if eating inside. Once we arrived, from the outside - it didn't look like much. Once we walked in, there was plenty of seating and the decor of the restaurant was nicely designed. We were the only ones there though at around 2PM - so we were able to choose to sit anywhere we want. The only gripe I have about the ambiance - is because there was nobody there besides us, and no type of music playing, it was dead silent, like a funeral home unless we were talking. It just felt a bit awkward. Would highly recommend some background music to give it a vibe/mood.In terms of service - this is the one area where I felt it was lacking a bit. While our waitress was very nice, she only came by to see us when it was time to give out the menu, place our order, and bring us the food. From that point, she never checked in on us - even to the point where we had to yell behind the counter into the kitchen to ask her for the check. Now that the slight negative is out of the way, let's get onto the good part - the food! Because it was lunch hours (11 - 3PM) - they had great priced specials (all around $9-12 bucks) - which includes a smaller sized entree, rice, and a choice of soup. My friend opted for the lunch special mongolian beef, with white rice, and hot and sour soup. The beef was great (tasted it myself to confirm) - and she also thought the soup was flavorful. She ordered the Siu Mai as well on the side and said she enjoyed it!I opted for Dan's Garlic Fried Chow Mein with chicken, beef, and shrimp. For the price of $11 bucks - the portion size was impressively large. There was so much food and a healthy portion of protein throughout. Flavor profile of the garlic chow mein was also really good. I took some home for leftovers even. There looks like a lot of other great things on the menu I would try in the future. If you're local, and looking for good food - I would recommend to give the place a try. Great flavors and can't beat the price for the portion size. Maybe try takeout to avoid the lack of music and attentive service. I'll be back again to experiment with the menu.

My dad and I just ordered some takeout from here and everything was incredible. The chicken, shrimp and fried rice were moist, full of flavor, and packed with sauces and vegetables. Dan's garlic fried rice with shrimp is a MUST. We also ordered the sweet and sour chicken (bomb) and the orange chicken (bomb) and the kung pao shrimp (incredible). Highly recommend! I hope their quality stays like this forever!!!

Dan's Kitchen is Chinese American food that has adapted to catering to the local population of the San Fernando Valley which means that flavours do not always hew to more traditional Chinese taste. The food is based on pan Chinese cooking, especially the regions of Guangzhou/Canton, Shanghai, Sichuan/Szechuan. Since the decline of the number of Cantonese restaurants in Socal, my take out lunch focused on this southern Chinese cuisine which traditionally has been noted for its emphasis on the use of vegetables, seafood, pork, chicken, and not overpowering the natural flavours inherent in the food with too much spices, but letting the ingredients speak for themselves. 1) Siumai: Pork dumplings wrapped in thin wheat pasta that had a rubbery texture that becomes a bit gummy. The pork was pleasantly rough ground meat that seems to be marinated with Hoisin sauce giving the meat a sweet, fermented, earthiness. Small shrimp is hidden inside the ground meat. Accompanying vinegar blackened with a touch of soy sauce is way too sweet so it masks the meatiness of the ground pork. This vinegar would be far better without the added sugar in adding a complementary gastrique to enliven the fatty pork filling. 2) Rice Noodle Singpore Style: The Maifun angel hair rice pasta was al dente and extremely dry. It seems curry powder was just dumped onto the Maifun and stirred around so that the curry powder was very gritty and its flavour not evenly distributed. Golden Dragon in DTLA Chinatown of the 1980's dissolved curry powder in chicken broth to give the rice pasta a more flavourful, mellow, smooth, even curry flavour. Very little healthful, colorful vegetables such as carrots, onions, bellpepper....only a hint of sautéed beansprouts. No pickled scallions. 6 sautéed shrimp are a nice size but mushy. The measly amount of Char Siu pork was moist, meaty, firm, but cut with poor knife skills. The thin julienned meat was too long giving an unpleasant mouthfeel. Subpar Chinese. Lacks sophisticated culinary methods such as finely honed knife skills. Chinese food made for a non-Chinese clientele so "authenticity" is lacking as well as taking advantage of customers who are not truly aware of the glories of East Asian cuisine. Unfortunately, Dan's falls far short of Empress in DTLA Chinatown of the 1990's and Ton Kiang in San Francisco of the 2,000's. 2 stars

Huge portions , my favorite is the garlic rice. Dans Chow mien also a fan favorite . 4 items can feed 4-5 people. Magnolian beef and chop suey . I always order ahead because it does take 20-30 to get food done. Always freshly made.

I added notes on DoorDash for the Dasher to ask for soy and hot sauce. Dasher even called me from the restaurant as there was language barrier with the employee. I kindly asked for soy and hot sauce and they confirmed they will. There was no soy sauce, hot sauce, or utensils (I requested on the app). Furthermore, food is mediocre. Will never order from here again.
