DanDan: a noodle dish with origins in Chinese Sichuan cuisine. DanDan: two guys named Dan who grew up eating Chinese food and love cooking it.

DanDan is a Chinese-American restaurant located in Milwaukee’s Historic Third Ward. The five-time James Beard nominated co-head chefs and co-owners, Dan Jacobs and Dan Van Rite, have always been passionate about cooking (and eating) Chinese food. Their vision was to create a restaurant that had a Chinese soul and a Midwestern sensibility, where diners can enjoy chef-driven food inspired by their own memories of eating at Chinese restaurants as children.

DanDan’s menu offers a creative take on traditional Chinese fare including a variety of dim sum, noodles and rice, dumplings, pancakes and standout Peking duck.
