“ I've been going to a hole in the wall chinese place in simi for years and I thought that there wasn't anything better. Well this place isn't necessarily better, but it's closer way more authentic than Panda Express. I had a pretty bad day and came home kind of broken. When my boyfriend came in the door, I was curled up on the bed, listening to a true crime podcast in complete darkness and i instantly felt better with this meal. I'm telling you, this is literally the best chinese food I've had in a very long time, I don't even know how long really. Give this place a try, this is my new favorite pricier Chinese food joint, but TOTALLY worth the extra price. Extremely flavorful. It's family style but they actually give you enough. My boyfriend eats A LOT but after eating, we still have leftovers. I love this place. ”
“ Best described as a take-out spot. Occasionally there will be the 2 or 3 people seated but definitely worth a try next time youre looking for a new Chinese food spot. Pick up is easy due to the large parking lot, food is reasonably price now a days. ”
“ Ordered the Beef Broccoli lunch special and it was soo good! 11.42 for a solid portion, white rice, and even a fortune cookie! Will be back to try other lunch special items. ”
“ Food came out quick. Attentive workers. And food quality itself is very good. Everything is tasty. They have a variety of items in the menu so I'm sure there's something for everyone I got sweet and sour chicken ”
“ Came here to pick up a Take Out Order I placed online. When I arrived, the staff was all smiles and friendly. My order was ready in just a few more minutes. The Mushu was loaded with veggies and it came with two pancakes and hoisin sauce and their won ton soup was full of goodies too. Very YUMMY! I will definitely return. ”
“ We were pleasantly surprised by how great their Chinese food tasted at this place that we didn't know was there until we went to this other restaurant near it. We were so glad to give this place a try. Walnut shrimp was the best. But the rest of our dishes were all very tasty. We are definitely going back to this place. Too bad it is not near our house. We could have ordered delivery from this place if we are closer. At first we didn't think it was a Chinese restaurant because of its name. :-) ”
“ First time coming here and I love the food the Thai tea and the Shanghai Soup Dumplings are delicious. I'm very sensitive to light so they have like a dim atmosphere. It's hard to park here but the food is great for delivery or dine in. ”
“ I always order for delivery and today i had plenty of free time so i took my mum here and if i liked it before i absolutely love it now the staff is all super friendly. she memorised our entire order. so easily. and we ordered a lot. they were so hospitable and despite the beautiful decor the place just felt so cosy. thank you to the staff of dan's kitchen for treating me like a friend both in my front porch and in their lovely establishment ”
