Inventive Chinese-American fusion plates, Peking duck, creative dim sum
"Dan Dan—which, yes, was opened by a duo of Dans—feels unlike any other fusion restaurant in Milwaukee. The space is dimly lit, the service is exceptional, and the menu jumps all over the place in a good way. We always get the scallion pancakes and smashed cucumbers before moving onto the three-course Peking duck special (a rarity in Milwaukee) or sweet and sour shrimp. There are also great vegan options—the golden curry has enough lemongrass punch to get a meat eater to dance in their seat a little. Get access to exclusive reservations at this spot with Chase Sapphire Reserve. New cardmembers get $300 in annual dining statement credits." - kristine hansen
