This restaurant has been on my list and tried the lower east side location for the first time. I sat at the bar and tried a cocktail or two before my food arrived. The bartender Case made the experience (and drinks) especially fun! When it was time to order food, the staff was very attentive and checked on us regularly. As for the food, we tried the soup dumplings, pork and shrimp shumai, mapo tofu buns, garlic sauce beef entree, and pork belly. The dim sum was worth the visit with the pork and shrimp shumai and soup dumplings being my personal standouts. (And I do go out for dim sum regularly across the city) This location was a great vibe to go with friends, a short walk to the L train, and the food lived up to the hype. The experience with the bartender and staff made me feel right at home. Next time I'm in the mood for dim sum, I'll be bringing my friends right to this location! read more

Solid Chinese food with laid back service. The place is very big and great for large groups. They have a huge menu along with a good selection of drinks as well as specials. The portions are a good size and are easy to share. read more

Han Dynasty - Garlic chicken - Szechuan Near Me - New York, New York

I ordered pork fried rice and Kung Pao chicken via Doordash from Han Dynasty and found the food looks better than it tastes. I suspect there is a marked difference between what one experiences dining at the restaurant versus taking delivery at home more than most restaurants. The food arrived quickly, certainly under an hour after I placed the order. The pork fried rice looked great, with the egg and veggies, in addition to plenty of pork. However, it was more oily than I am accustomed. The oil may not be as easily tasted if it comes straight out of the high temperature wok, but at home one tastes the oil. The chef may have not drained off all the excess oil prior to cooking at a busy time in the evening when I placed my order: 5:12 PM. There may be other possible explanations, but the pork fried rice was not at the level I was expecting. The Kung Pao chicken was also a bit disappointing and I suspect there was again a marked difference should one eat this at the restaurant as opposed to eating it at home, despite a quick delivery. I ordered it medium spicy, which was good for me. This dish has a lot of nuts in it for the information of those with that food allergy. They do not skimp on the chicken. It's loaded with chicken and it is probably caramelized or even crispy fresh out of the wok, but not at home. Your mileage may vary, but I would like to see what the dining experience would be on site at Han Dynasty in comparison to delivery. My review may well be revised upwards when I have that dine in experience. 3.3 stars. read more

Was gonna go to Sauerkraut Fish till I opted here for the prices. I got a basic lunch plate special of stirfried eggplant and brown rice for under $15 and it came with tea. The host kept switching the music: from new metal to Doja Cat to some innocuous and boring--if the place isn't cool enough for metal just leave it at Doja Cat, annoying the self-conscious to bland. They're moving two doors up as there have been problems with this space apparently: Lunch is mostly deliveries. I could see some huge HVAV- looking fixture above me duct-taped. read more

When I tell you the food was delicious, it was absolutely incredible. So tasty, the manager was was amazing, the waitstaff knew exactly what to recommend based on what flavors we were interested in. Three cup chicken, cumin tofu-- divine. The dry rub wings-- I can't even imagine how they got it to be that crispy, juicy and flavorful with the perfect amount of garlic and heat. Whew. Perfect. It's a vibe.Casey's mocktails were some of the best I've ever had. I'll definitely be back!! The owner spoke with my niece and I, fabulous. I'll be back! read more

From food to service, my Han Dynasty visit was lovely, and I can't believe I just been passing it all these years. Great flavorful bases in every dish. My friends and I requested additional spicy and our waiter actually brought out several other options as well. Very friendly, approachable, and hospitable. The rice is unlimited as well so all my carb-lovers out there can really indulge. read more

AVOID!! The food is worse than a Chinese restaurant in a mid America strip mall. It used to be good several years ago and now is just a concoction of stale ingredients and poor quality meats. Pretty bad service too. Don't waste your time and money. read more

I've had takeout from Han Dynasty countless times, this was my first time dining in. I went on a Sunday afternoon, and we were seated right away. The staff is efficient, and was able to accommodate a high chair. The interior is standard, nothing overly special but it's clean. To compare dine-in VS takeout, the food is exponentially better when eating it in restaurant. We ordered the vegetarian Dan Dan noodles and Dry Pepper Tofu to accommodate one of the guests in our party with a dietary restriction. These were both great dishes, for both veg and non-veg eaters. Additionally, we had Dry Pepper Fish, Dry Pepper Chicken, and Cumin lamb. The dry pepper fish was my favorite, but you can't go wrong with any of the options. We also ordered the Spicy Crispy Cucumber which I wouldn't personally order again. There was so much raw garlic coating each cucumber that it was not my favorite. Overall, Han Dynasty is a consistent good spot for spicy chinese food. read more

The bartender Casey was amazing!! Love his energy! Super cool vibe, service is always very great

Great food, great service . Was nice that they had a full bar which I appreciated. Only negative was that it was a tight fit and very very loud! Couldn't really talk or hear well. Food however was delicious and had some good vegetarian options that I haven't had in other places. read more

Found this place by accident... so glad we did. Met Casey who made us some awesome drinks and made this place fun! Ordered the food which was excellent and good portions. Authentic and different! Also, Great server, the place had a good vibe and it was CLEAN too..... fun place and would go back. Thanks Casey.... we'll be back for sure!! read more

A little pricey but we are in NYC-- Was looking for a last minute restaurant that was quick, easy pickup and comforting. Han Dynasty is just that!!! I was nervous but pleasantly surprised by all of the flavor profiles in these dishes. The noodles in the lo me in were fresh and cooked to perfection with a great level of spice (requested medium and it SURELY WAS). They do not mess around with the extra spicy so be careful if you have a low tolerance. The spicy crispy cucumbers were a refreshing side to the thick and oily dumplings (also very good). Rec: Mixing a bit of the dumpling chilli oil into the lo mein for a very flavorful bite. read more

"You met me at a very Chinese time in my life." Nothing beats a cold beer with some sichuan noodles on a Wednesday night. Came with my middle school best friend after seeing The Running Man at the AMC nearby around 10:30pm. Amazing ambiance and it wasn't too crowded. We both ordered a Snow Beer and shared an order of Dan Dan Noodles, Pork Wontons in Chili Oil, and Crab Rangoons. They were all well portioned and reasonably priced. I highly recommend throwing the wontons in with the noodles. It is quite the exquisite combo. Godspeed. P.S. Don't forget to enjoy a cigarette for dessert for the full authentic experience. read more

Han Dynasty - Snow Beer, Dan Dan Noodles, Pork Wontons in Chili Oil, and Crab Rangoons. - Szechuan Near Me - New York, New York

Was dying for some Chinese ribs. I love the lo mein at Han Dynasty and I saw this locations had spare ribs. They were delicious and fresh.

Writing my first review but definitely not my first time here. This place is a classic and has maintained its standards over 10y atleast (to my knowledge) This dry pot with fish is a favorite Their Dan Dan noodles isn't my personal favorite as it's more on the peanut side but I also understand there are different styles to this dish Their crab Rangoons were pretty great not too synthetic like in a lot of places Finally the cumin dishes (we like the lamb) are also amazing. Very well balanced flavors They have prompt service, decent drink selection and menu, and most likely you'll get a table as it's no frills which is why the social media crazy peeps are elsewhere (TG)! read more

Went to Han Dynasty after a night out and it really hit the spot. We got the dry pepper fried chicken, Taiwanese sausage lo mein, spicy wontons, and the house fried rice. Is it the best Szechuan/Chinese food I've ever had in the entire world? No, but it was honestly very good especially for a late night spot. The chicken was really good and my favorite part was the chili oil served in the wontons since I poured it on everything. It had that really sweet spicy flavor which is my favorite in spicy wontons. The service was friendly and quick and I was overall impressed! The prices are a little steep for what it is but not uncommon for a late night spot. I wouldn't go too far out of my way to eat here again but certainly would after a long night out in the area. read more

Pretty decent Chinese food in Manhattan - I like the cumin lamb here. The noodles are not bad either

I ordered takeout here, and food was great! Their lunch special was a good deal, but after basically finishing my meal, there was a rock/pebble of some sort at the bottom of my dish... Not sure how that got there but quite concerning that something from the floor ended up in my dish. Makes it a bit questionable whether or not it's sanitary in the kitchen or the process of making my food, but if it weren't for that, the food was pretty good/average dishes. read more

Food was so good, I got the dumplings- spicy 10/10 I ordered it to go and even though I thought it was pricey at first, after I received my order- it was definitely worth it read more

I came because of the gluten free menu, but I would not recommend for celiacs. I reacted very strongly the next day despite confirming with the server that I had a "severe allergy" and that they would take precautions against cross contact. read more

We ordered the dry pot style with fish and string beans -- both were fantastic. On our waiter/maître d's recommendation, we also had thin rice noodles with pork. They were good but rather bland on their own, much improved by adding chili crisp and some of the ingredients from the fish dry pot. Our waiter/maître d' understood gluten-free really well and guided us to safe choices. They have a solid number of dishes that can be made gluten-free. We sat outside (only three tables available) on a beautiful September day. Indoors has a cozy bar vibe with rock music and a silent TV showing sports. It's noisy but not overwhelming -- you can still talk easily. Very full bar, fun atmosphere. Great food, great service, strong GF awareness -- and the prices are very good for this quality. read more

Han Dynasty - Gluten-free menu. (There's a more robust menu for gluten eaters.) - Szechuan Near Me - New York, New York

Great Szechuan food for over 20 years. Smallish restaurant and bar area with a huge take out business. The ambiance is 1980s Village Chinese dining. Lots of energy from the diners and the staff. Beef noodle soup and their dry chicken wings are "must haves". Reasonable prices for great food! read more

This is one of my favorite restaurants in the area. I love that they have a special gluten free menu with so many delicious options. The food is so tasty and they offer unlimited white rice. They also give you free tea at the start of your meal. Anytime I've been they always have ample amount of seating and the service is great. They play good music and the drinks are strong. It is in the dekalb market hall so would say it is more on the casual side. read more

The Taiwanese Sausage Fried Rice and Double Cooked Chicken are DELICIOUS! The best items on the menu!

This place is always busy, even on a weekday, and with good reason. I've been coming here for years and still go out of my way to pick up takeout from here after work. My favorite dishes here are the scallion pancakes, the general tso's tofu, and the kung pao tofu. This place is generous with their protein, and also with their vegetables. The food is of pretty good quality, but beware that a lot of it is deep fried. The portion sizes are good, and the food tastes just as delicious the next day. Beware of the dry pot tofu - when they say the spice level is a 10/10, they are NOT kidding! It's really good, but EXTREMELY spicy. I appreciate that there are different foods with different spice levels and different proteins to choose from. The options seem limitless. I particularly appreciate the large selection of vegetarian options. The flavors taste authentic, and the dishes are made well - no matter how busy it got, I have never been disappointed with a meal here. This is a good spot for a casual date - although it's busy, it's got that cool East Village vibe and dim lighting. If you're in a rush, this place is not for you. But if you have the time to wait for some good food, I highly recommend this spot. read more

I've heard about this restaurant's name in passing a bunch of times, but never got to try it until recently one weekday in the city. My friends and I came exactly at the opening time of 11:30 am and we arrived to an empty restaurant. The restaurant itself is quite spacious. We were allowed to sit anywhere we wanted and we got to ordering right away. My friends and I decide to share: CRAB RANGOON - Comes in 5 pieces. As expected, it's good. Its fried with warm cream cheese filling inside with a side of sweet thai dipping sauce. You can never go wrong with it. STRING BEANS W/ MINCED PORK - The string beans were tossed in garlic sauce. The string beans were cooked well - soft to chew. The pork part was a bit disappointing in that there were not a good ratio of vegetables to pork. There were like a mere few pieces of small thin pork pieces - like almost non-existent. So don't expect much pork - order primarily as a side veggie. I personally got the DRY PEPPER CHICKEN. It is rated as a highly spicy dish (7/10) on the menu. I was expecting a lot considering it is a Sichuan restaurant, but honestly, it was nearly as spicy as I thought. My friend who can't tolerate too much spice didn't find it spicy either... which made me to believe this place isn't authentic at all. It definitely has a dry spice taste, but tasted as if it was made for the American population rather than to represent Sichuan cuisine. For the lunch special price, it's solid. They give ample rice and can refill, which was nice. But, definitely lower your expectation and don't expect super spicy authentic Sichuan cuisine. It's more like an Americanized version of a Chinese restaurant. In my opinion, the spice level is manageable for the average customer coming here. I'm not sure if the management changed from before or anything, but in the current day, I can't find myself rating anything more than a 3/5. read more

A friend and I were finally getting dinner together after not being able to see each other in person for quite some time and her recommendation for eats was the Han Dynasty Chinese Restaurant on the LES. Having never tried the place I was of course curious and made sure to peruse a little on Yelp to see what others had said about it. It sounded fine to me so we set a reservation for around 6:45PM and headed there together after meeting up. The restaurant is just a five or so minutes walk from Union Square proper and since it was torrentially raining out we were moving a little faster. They have an outdoor dining section which weather made a nope option and once inside we were seated quickly and brought some hot tea. A very nice thing to have on the chilly, rainy night for sure. As I can eat most things, provided there aren't too many onions in them based on my stomach just not liking them anymore, I let my companion guide the decision process. We ended up ordering spicy cucumber cold appetizer and don don noodles and chicken dumplings as the hot appetizers. The main dish would be garlic chicken and we'd be fine with the included white rice. Everything came out rather fast and I don't think it was even ten minutes of a wait which was amazing. We shared all of the dishes until we were full and even had some to take home with us for lunch the next day. All of the dishes were super tasty and a recommendation. The staff were attentive and friendly and while I didn't detect an in-house WiFi my device grabbed the Link NYC feed which was nice to have for the time being. Pricewise the whole shebang ran about $64 with tip which is not bad considering there were three appetizers and a main dish as our order. I say give them a try if you are near the place and hungry for some tasty Chinese food. Order to go if you don't feel like sitting down. read more

In what world should you deliver takeout to a hotel and not include literally any utensil to eat it? Put chopsticks or a fork with it? Maybe a napkin? Lazy.

This restaurant has twice delivered white rice when we paid for brown rice. They are expensive and need to pay more attention.

Used to love it here, but just decent now. Not sure if I'm crazy, or the dandan noodles lost its magic? LIC branch decided to put cumin in their fried chicken wings, so I guess I better return to this branch as long as they keep cumin out of it read more

Okay place, but nothing to write home about. Crab Rangoons weren't crispy, but were hot. Dan dan noodles were pretty good. Good portion as well. Dry pepper chicken had that Sichuan flavor.

First of all. Horrible service... The Dynasty would be disappointed! I have dined at a few different locations and this one is the only location where I ever experienced such horrendous service. The staff there were not accommodating at all. The apologies weren't sincere, they cared less. So let's get into my experience here. This place is busy... so my associate and I sat at the bar and waited for a seat to open up. While I waited, it took forever just to get the bartender's attention. When I finally did, he acted like I was interrupting his day. We finally got a table after what felt like an eternity, only to be ignored by our server for another 20 minutes. When we finally managed to order, the food took ages to arrive and was lukewarm at best. To top it all off, our server never checked back on us, and when we flagged her down, she seemed annoyed. The whole experience felt like we were more of a bother than valued customers. Hans Dynasty might have a good reputation, but this location is definitely not living up to it. I won't be returning to this location. Live, love & try to laugh - Sha read more

We ended up here on a quiet lunch afternoon, so it only had like one other table occupied, and we got a nice personal experience from the affable man serving us. We tried the dan dan noodles and the dry pot. To get the obvious out of the way, yes it's greasy, no it's not eaten everyday in Chongqing or Sichuan. If i'm not mistaken, dan dan noods are a street food and that's how they got their name. The noodles were pretty good, especially once you mix em up and get the goodness at the bottom. They were not numbing, but in my few years of exploring dan dan noodles, it's clear that everyone does their own variation on it, and their's leans on the sesame side. I liked the dry pot a lot though, that had the mala spice in it and went well with the rice. The portions were generous too. read more

We came to Han Dynasty because I have been craving Sichuan cuisine for a while. Ordered Dan Dan Noodles ($11.95), Fish in Pickled Chili Style ($24.95), and String Beans w/ Minced Pork ($16.95). I found it a little weird that the Dan Dan Noodles had a peanut butter flavor, and that they labeled it as having a spice level of 6/10. I did not taste any spice at all. The Fish in Pickled Chili Style was decent with a mild spice despite having a spice level of 5/10. I wish there were more pieces of fish. I really enjoyed the bamboo shoots though because they absorbed most of the flavor. The String Beans w/ Minced Pork didn't have enough "wok heat." Usually, Sichuan style string beans are more on the drier side and flavorful. This wasn't it. Overall the food was just okay. Unfortunately, if you want authentic tasting Sichuan food, I wouldn't recommend getting it from Han Dynasty. The restaurant is spacious, and there are 2 bathrooms in the back. One is tiny, while the other is a disability bathroom. read more
