I had to go back to the mao tao on westminster where the owners of Hai Jun began, but the Dan Dan dish there is not as tasty. Also, the other dishes are not the same and are not as good a value. Please someone tell me if they have re-opened another location!! I love this restaurant too and was very disappointed at the change of owners.

Dan Dan Noodle would have a reddish sauce on top instead of the noodles floating in a brownish stock. That’s not Dan Dan Noodle, atleast not authentic.

No idea where they went though :( I haven't been there for over a month now and had no idea they closed before this post. Like lovetoeat said above, this restaurant used to be called "Mao Tai" and was in a plaza on Westminster Hwy and also closed out of nowhere about two years ago. It was by chance that I found that the owners reopened at "Hai Jun". Boy, I am going to miss their food, especially their chewy noodles! I’m glad your family enjoyed this restaurant!

I had it served deboned, much like Peking Duck and then the crispy bones served on the side...YUMMY!! Had the deep fried duck before but it was called “Aromatic Duck”…..a northern specialty.

Loved their lunch specials, $5.95 for an entree with soup, drink AND that big bowl of rice! They have the best and cheapest Dan Dan Noodles! Vanessa, funny you should mention "xin mao tao" because before it was "xin mao tao", it was "mao tao" which closed and the people who use to run "mao tao" moved and opened up Hai Jun. "xin mao tao" has a similar but bigger menu, but prices are also a bit higher than Hai Jun...except for the $1.99 Dan Dan Noodles, although the portion is a bit smaller.
