DanDan is a Chinese restaurant in Milwaukee's Third Ward that blends traditional Sichuan cuisine with Midwestern sensibilities and a playful, seasonal approach to cooking.
Founded by two Dans who grew up eating Chinese food and wanted to honor those childhood flavors, DanDan offers flavorful and respectful dishes rooted in authenticity. Located at 360 East Erie Street, the restaurant welcomes diners for in-house dining and curbside pickup, operating daily from 5-9pm with lunch service on Fridays. The intimate space also accommodates private gatherings and events, plus offsite catering for those looking to bring DanDan's cuisine to their celebrations.
The restaurant's philosophy—"preserve the old, but know the new"—guides their approach to both menu and atmosphere. Whether you're settling in for dinner at their historic Third Ward location or grabbing food to go, DanDan delivers the kind of Chinese cooking that feels both deeply rooted and refreshingly contemporary.
