Dan Modern Chinese - Pasadena

Decent place for Chinese food. In my opinion as compared to other Chinese eatery, the food somehow misses a distinct flavor profile. The dim sums are nice but no accompanying dipping made it bland to eat. The rice was nice but there was no salt and upon asking I was given salt from kitchen, why not keep pepper and salt on table ?Food: 5/5

We tried the Mapo tofu and Oxtail beef noodle. For $16-20, I think you can find better portion sizes for noodles. However, it 's cool that you can get half portions of most of the lunch items. Flavor was good, but I 'm on the fence about whether I 'd come back.

Good taste, has some vegetarian options but ask for mushroom if you don’t eat them.Food: 4/5

Loved everything, but not the vegan dumplings (a bit flavorless) I’d go back to get the salt and pepper tofu, any of the garlic veggies, the cucumber salad and the scallion pancakes (I was the only one that liked these). Service was quick and there wasn’t a two hour line which as great. It’s tucked away in an inside corner of the plaza and a bit hidden, but it’s there, you’ll find it.I’d go back and add some noodles or rice to this order.Happy Munchies,aVeganAndHer

The quantity was a bit disappointing, but it was quite tasty overall. The xia long bao contained a lot of juice and the three cup chicken had the right amount of punch. If I had a choice, I would have preferred the noodle soup to have come out last as it was a bit plain (in a good way) compared to the other two menus I tried.Food: 4/5
