Han Dynasty Olde CityGreat food (esp. if you likeGreat food (esp. if you like spicy); warm and friendly (but noisy) upstairs; basement-grungy downstairs good for large groups that just want to eat and have fun; great value.5/5/2013 12:00:00 AMthere are non-spicy itemsthere are non-spicy items for those of us who want them!4/28/2013 12:00:00 AMIf you like spicy food thanIf you like spicy food than this is your place. If you dont thats ok too. You can adjust the spiciness on all dishes. Everything was great! Make sure to try the Dan Dan noodles.4/21/2013 12:00:00 AMThis is Chinese food likeThis is Chinese food like you've never had it before! Authentic, spicy, unforgettable. It's a must try. The dan dan noodles are their speciality (and just as good without the pork for vegetarians) for an appetizer. You won't find General Tso's on this restaurant's menu, but you will leave with a new appreciation for Chinese food.4/14/2013 12:00:00 AMloved it, great for peopleloved it, great for people who love spicy Chinese food.4/9/2013 12:00:00 AMI had heard very good thingsI had heard very good things about this restaurant and was not disappointed. The food was very good, the atmosphere was casual, and the service was outstanding.4/5/2013 12:00:00 AMLoved it!Not for the faint of heart or sensitive palates. The spicy dishes are hot! But delicious. The Dan-Dan Noodles were fantastic, and the Dry Pepper Style Shrimp was the best shrimp dish I've ever eaten anywhere...simply amazing. Loved it and can't wait to go back.4/3/2013 12:00:00 AMA must tryChinese cuisine done right. Very authentic, delicious. Low cost for high quality. Perfectly sized portions. SPICE or NO SPICE from mouth sizzling to numbing to tingling, it can be personalized and menu caters to preference. Casual dining atmosphere (don't expect the servers to gush over you, something I REALLY appreciated), they brought water and refilled our BYO wine (Tues. are BYO) when needed, nothing over the top, we really could enjoy and focus on the food. When we asked for a server's favorite, they gave it to us. Definite menu items to try are the Dan Dan Noodles at their original spice level and Pork Belly in Black Bean sauce. Delicious. Definitely going back for more. Great spot, great food, great staff.4/2/2013 12:00:00 AMWithout doubt, the best ChineseWithout doubt, the best Chinese food I've had in the U.S. I never eat Chinese food in the U.S. because it is either bland, soggy, oily, overcooked, MSGed and/or all of the above. Han is truly superb. It's an interesting menu that shies away from the usual American Chinese formulaic approach to Asian cuisine. The menu is bold, original and inventive and the food is exactly that too. Extremely spicy though, so be warned!3/31/2013 12:00:00 AMBest Szechuan I've ever had,Best Szechuan I've ever had, really outstanding. Appetizers were good---we had spicy cucmbers and dumplings in chili oil. Main courses we had had dry chili chicken and beef with green chilies (you're getting a sense that there's some spice involved in the food at Han Dynasty, right?). This is as far from shopping-mall Chinese as you're going to get.3/30/2013 12:00:00 AMSome of the best Chinese foodSome of the best Chinese food I've ever had. The service was great and the prices were pretty reasonable3/30/2013 12:00:00 AMGet the tasting menu!We got the tasting menu which was amazing! They asked us about our spice preferences, price points, and if we had any allergies, etc., and costumized it based on our groups food tastes. There was a great mix of everything on the menu, and we got to try a nice sampling of dishes. Our server was great as well. Just make sure to bring cash if you're with a large group.3/28/2013 12:00:00 AMLoved the spicy cucumber andLoved the spicy cucumber and Dan Dan noodles are a staple at this place. We generally eat a lot of spicy food given that we have Indian roots and we went for spice levels 4 to 6 and they were pretty spicy. The spiciness goes up to 10. If you get a two person table on the stage next to the entrance, it's cute, romantic and with a good view of the lit bridge.3/23/2013 12:00:00 AMHan Dynasty is our new favoriteHan Dynasty is our new favorite casual hot spot. The wine list, though, is not anything to write home about. I liked when it was BYOB and you could just pay a corking fee. Other than that the food is awesome!! Dan Dan noodles, yummy with just the right amount of firy spice. And you cannot forget to try the spicy crispy cucumbers! If you like spicy, this your your hot spot!! If you don't like spice there are also non-spicy treats to choose from. The food is fragrant and delectable. Not your typical chinese restaurant...this is so much better.3/23/2013 12:00:00 AMI love this place. It isI love this place. It is inexpensive enough that you don't need a special occasion to justify going, and yet you will not leave unhappy.3/23/2013 12:00:00 AMGoodIt was worth the trip for the wifey and l, it was good definitely would recommend it3/16/2013 12:00:00 AM
