DanDan

Nestled at 30 Parking Plaza in the heart of Ardmore, Pennsylvania, DanDan is the brainchild of restaurateurs Catherina and Kevin Huang, who blend the bold heat of Sichuan cooking with the comforting flavors of Taiwanese street fare. Inside, a contemporary design of dark wood paneling, neon accents, and an open kitchen creates a lively yet intimate atmosphere, perfect for both quick lunches and relaxed dinners. Signature dishes include the aromatic beef noodle soup, delicate xiao long bao dumplings, and the crispy Taiwanese popcorn chicken served with a sweet‑chili glaze. For those craving a taste of the sea, the Taiwanese oyster pancake and spicy garlic shrimp are crowd‑pleasers, while the house‑made bubble tea, offered in classic milk or taro, provides a refreshing finish. The full‑service bar showcases handcrafted cocktails such as the ginger‑infused “Taipei Mule” and a curated wine list, with a happy‑hour menu from 3 pm‑5 pm Monday through Friday. Prices range from $15 for small plates to $30 for main courses, making it an affordable spot for families, couples, and groups. Ample free parking, proximity to the Ardmore train station, and a short walk to Suburban Square’s shops and cinema add convenience. Open daily for lunch and dinner, DanDan closes 15 minutes before the final service on Fridays and Saturdays, and remains closed on Thanksgiving. Reservations are accepted via Tock, and take‑out orders are available through the online portal.
