Han Dynasty

The Dan Dan noodles are delicious - I even chose them for my recent birthday meal, so you know they're good!

We also like the wonton soup and the dry pepper chicken. Great options for gluten-free friends too!

Stopped by here for a late lunch with the family. It was close to our hotel (walking distance). We went during a time when it wasn't busy. We were welcomed by a staff member who seated us right away. Those who took our order and brought out the food were friendly and efficient. Overall, the food was good. The scallion pancakes were a little on the smaller size. The shrimp for the honey walnut dish was not what we had initially expected -- it was breaded, similar to that of Chinese chicken fingers -- but still good. The shrimp lo mein had an added taste which I was trying to identify. It reminded me of pork or some kind of meat -- but again, still good.

The place was nice, spacious with high ceilings, and has a huge bar. It reminded me of a bar/lounge back in NYC, but it was a little dim.

Overall, it was a decent place to get some Chinese food in the area. Also, I believe they will be moving locations soon.

I've eaten here. I do take-out here. I like it. Last Sunday we went out of our comfort zone and ordered dishes that I ordinarily would not. (for reference I love mapo tofu).

1- Dry Pepper Style Fish, Medium Spicy. OMG! Yum! It's boneless, thank goodness and lightly fried.
2- Scallion Style Chicken. Not a fan of the sauces. Not Han Dynasty's issue; It's a Paula issue.
3 - Dumplings in Chili Oil - Unbelievable. I keep going back for more.

Service by Lise P was very good. She guided me thru this journey. I appreciate her patience. We arrived early on a Sunday afternoon when the restaurant was relatively empty. When we left the restaurant, it was full.

I dinged 1 star because I could not get comfortable in the seats. The cushions on the the banquetes were worn down and were too low for the table. I almost asked for a booster seat! I'll come back....for take out only! 4 stars!

Didn't get a picture of the food before it was gone but had a great cocktail and was surprised by the inside compared to the outside - I never would have expected it!

You can dress up or dress down when eating at this restaurant. There is a nice size bar. This restaurant is great for a date night or to meet up with friends. I ordered the house Lo Mein noodles and it was cooked perfectly. Also ordered shrimp Crispy rice style and outside of the great flavor , I was happy to notice the tails were removed and the shrimp were deveined. I ordered the tiger martini and it was so good that 2 additional were ordered. I was disappointed that they do not serve dessert.

This was a solid 3 star for a group performance. All the dishes were well prepared and the group enjoyed their meals. Nothing noteworthy for or against. I think they use to have more "authentic" menu offerings years ago ... but I suspect many are too strongly favored for the American pallete. .

Sichuan food is my guilty pleasure. The numbing Sichuan pepper is so addicting in moderate amount. I was excited to find Han Dynasty which specializes in Sichuan cuisine. This place is so good. I ordered take out and it was still delicious. The food is well seasoned and portion size is great as well. I got the homestyle tofu dish and the fish dry pepper dish. I need to come back again and dine in person! It's probably a good thing that I don't live right next to this restaurant or else I might be coming here every other week.

If you like spicy and flavorful food you've got to give this place a visit!

I love this place! It has a huge bar with lots of specialty cocktails and beers to choose from. They have happy hour choices for both food and drink, and this is a cheap way to start your evening. I cannot say enough about their spicy cucumbers and wontons in chili oil. Both are on the HH menu and delicious. They also make sure you understand the spice levels of their dishes, as they literally go from 0 to 10. The long hot dish is one of my favorites as well if you like a little spice! High-quality and fresh ingredients. Delivery is available via many services, and the portions are the same whether you're eating in or having it at home.

Still happy to come here like 20 years later since I first used to go to the old school jawn further down chestnut.
This is still my favorite location out of all the ones I've tried in the Philly area, Jersey and New York City and out in the burbs.

Good and plentiful portions. Service was quick and its Old City location is a beautiful, old building with lots of character.
