Very much out of our way but had an amazing Christmas date experience. We loved everything we had and trying new foods. Our server was lovely as well. Definitely worth a try if in the area and can't wait to come back. read more

Food was great, little gem in a place that you wouldn't expect. We had a gift card that they couldn't retrieve the amount for so instead of just saying that, they only granted us $50 on a $150 gift card. Sad, but such is the world. We have the bank record on our phone but haven't had the energy to fight it ‍ read more

Han 202 is a modern Asian fusion restaurant located in Chicago's Bridgeport neighborhood. I have written multiple reviews on TripAdvisor and Yelp consistently and most accurately describing this quaint restaurant as a "Hidden Gem." Our most recent dining experience on Mother's Day was consistent with past visits. Hans stands out due to its inventive takes on traditional Chinese dishes offering a unique dining experience that blends contemporary presentation with bold, comforting flavors. The restaurant's sleek, minimalist interior and intimate setting features clean white tablecloths, soft lighting, and a calm, understated elegance. With limited seating, Han 202 provides a cozy and personal dining environment, making it ideal for date nights or small gatherings. Han 202 is renowned for its prix fixe tasting menu, which offers a curated selection of dishes that change seasonally, but be careful about supplemental charges for some menu items. Diners can expect a multi-course meal that showcases a fusion of Asian flavors with modern culinary techniques; THIS CHEF IS 5 STARS! The salads are all fresh. The appetizers unique--BEST SHRIMP TOAST ANYWHERE. Signature dishes include inventive takes on classics, such as Chilean Seabass (pictured), duck with hoisin reduction, and delicate dumplings. The Ribeye & Lobster is divine. Lobster tails cooked to perfection. All of the varied menu offerings are OUTSTANDING! Just make certain that you save room for the Hot Chocolate Souffle for desert. The attentive staff ensures that each course is timed perfectly, allowing guests to savor the progression of flavors throughout the meal. The service from a restaurant with TWO waiters, one doubling as the greeter, a Head Chef and a Sous Chef is remarkably consistently amazing! read more

What a wonderful find! We were greeted warmly and shown into a nice, but casually elegant dining space. Service throughout was warm and present and really kind. They also helped with our selections when we had questions. The thing I appreciated most was the timing of courses. Nothing rushed and each course had enough time to enjoy it, but there were no lags in service. The food was good to great and the standouts were the lobster/beet salad and the shrimp toast. The latter is a must. We were really impressed with the wine list; I saw some of my favorites on there and the list is lengthy with everything offered by the glass as well as bottle. The dessert was the weakest part of the meal, but we may have chosen poorly. A neighboring table had a soufflé that wasn't listed, but looked awesome. The prix fixe menu is an absolute bargain at $39 and even with up charge choices, still a good value. Abundant parking on the street and now a staple on my list of places to revisit! read more

I love the idea of a Chinese tasting menu and was looking forward to trying Han 202, but I personally thought the food was just ok. The price is affordable for a tasting menu, so I think you just need to expect what you're paying for. For the starters for example, the smoked salmon salad only had one piece of smoked salmon. Most of the base entrees are more simple, so you'll probably also end up wanting to upgrade so the cost will be higher. They gave us a free sashimi dish to try on the house which was nice, and I thought the service was good and attentive! I think Han 202 is a decent option if you want a more affordable tasting menu, but personally I thought the food wasn't that tasty so I wouldn't come back. read more

Me and my two friends had a reservation on a Friday and had a wonderful experience! We each tried different dishes from the 4-course meal and all of them were delicious! I had the Lobster Beet salad, shrimp toast (a huge portion!! Easy to share), Duck breast in Szechuan sauce, and a lemon cheesecake. Our server was so kind, she brought out the chocolate soufflé but since the first one deflated, she kindly made us another. Elegant decor and the perfect amount of food, it really is a jewel in Bridgeport. read more

First of all the service and atmosphere was top notch. A small dining area and the decor was well put up. The food was overall tasty with some dishes being out of balance for my taste (sometimes too sweet or sour). read more

Salt and Pepper Calamari and Made to order Dan Dan Noodles are a MUST Affordable fine dining Asian inspired cuisine with impeccable service and simplicity that brings out great natural flavors This place was so great, the ambience was very "nice restaurant" esque. Tables covered in white linen, server folding our napkin when we left the table, all at a price of a 4 course pre fix menu filled with options for only $39 per person... The value here is fantastic, the experience is great, the hospitality is so welcoming, this place would make a great date spot or a place to go with friends to try a WHOLE bunch of food at a great price. The cocktail menu was great and they have a fully loaded bar, they are not BYOB anymore and the vibe shows it. This is a nice, affordable, tasty, friendly restaurant everyone should try! read more

Han 202 - Blue fin tuna - Chinese Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

Don't miss Han 202. The restaurant is in a little space, and the there is a small team of friendly staff keeping everything running smoothly. The menu is prix fixe. It is great value for the amount of food you receive and for the quality. I loved the octopus and the fried rice. This intimate space is great for spending time with friends and family. The décor is very minimal, and there is an open kitchen. The staff is attentive and helpful. read more

Lovely, small restaurant in Bridgeport. The area it's in is quiet and finding parking is very easy. This was my 4th visit but 1st time getting an order to go. Han 202 has a prix fixe menu consisting of 4 courses at a very reasonable price- $35. Can't beat it. And the food is really wonderful. If you're dining in, it is BYOB and they charge a $2 cork fee. On this visit, I ordered the lobster tail salad, shang hai dumplings (appetizer), duck breast in a spicy sauce (entree) and finished w a slice of lemon cheesecake. Everything was great. I wasn't sure how my food would be once I got home but other than the condensation in the lobster and dumplings (which was expected), they all traveled well. The beet and sauce with the lobster paired very well. The dumplings were good but didn't blow me away. The meat didn't have much flavor on its own but the sauce it came with gave it that kick it needed. The duck breast was great - and those veggies and sauce. Very good. I was stuffed by the time I got to dessert, but I'm no quitter! Lol. I found room for it and it was good as well. Not too sweet at all and was just the right amount considering the amount of food I'd had. read more

Helped a friend move and he told me he would get me dinner. I went with the lobster salad for salad option looked like something you'd find in a fine dining restaurant. My next course was the salt & pepper calamari. It was very savory, enjoyed it very much. For my main entree went with plum lamb chops and add to order rice because it didn't come with rice. When we came in both of us prix fix option which allowed us to choose different salad option, appetizer, main entree, dessert. For dessert ate the cheesecake and it was excellent!! read more

Don't be fooled by Han 202's unassuming exterior. This an all around excellent dining experience! The food was outstanding at every course and the service was attentive and delightful. My wife and I discussed each dish as the unique variety of tastes and textures surprised and delighted us with each bite. We can't wait to go back! read more

wow such an unexpected and elevated experience! such a beautiful elegant experience at great price! cocktails am too, friendly family run business I can't wait to to go back! so under the radar in this location I almost don't want anyone else to find this place the $39 price fixe menu I'd wonderful and when you get to dessert don't skip it, all house made including the ginger ice cream read more

The food was amazing! Our server was so informative and very personable. Great place and we will be back!

Very cute restaurant in Bridgeport! Restaurant decor is nice, the bathroom could use a little more love though. The service was good and I enjoyed my overall experience here. The highlight for me was the ginger ice cream and almond cake, which was not too sweet! I order the shrimp toast, Lobster Tail with Red Beet and Honey Mustard Sauce, and Salmon with Malaysian Chili Sauce. I should've mixed it up more and not done all seafood. The lobster and shrimp were okay, but could've been a little more tender. The salmon dish was on the salty side but the fish was cooked well. read more

The Service was Great , Food was Fantastic and inexpensive. A True Hidden Gem Parking wasn't bad either.

Absolutely 5 stars. Highest quality. Hit it up before or after a sox game. Dan Dan noodle outstanding. Duck five stats. Best shrimp toast ive ever had. read more

We went to celebrate a birthday and had an awesome time. All of the food was delicious and with the prefix menu, it was easy to make selections for a great experience. We started with the crab and cucumber salad and the lobster tail salad. Both were great! We then had the Cajun quail and salt and pepper calamari for our appetizers, and the kitchen provided us a tuna tartare on the house. The salt and pepper calamari had great bold flavors and was a cool new riff on fried calamari. The tuna tartare was my favorite dish of the night - I was so glad that they surprised us with that. The fish was clearly a high quality and very fresh. For our entrees, we ordered the shrimp and the rack of lamb with a side of a veggie fried rice for the table. The rack of lamb was cooked perfectly and was incredibly moist. The shrimp was our favorite of this course; the veggies that accompanied it brought a great freshness and snap. We ended the night with the chocolate brownie and the lemon cheesecake. I had the lemon cheesecake and it was absolutely delicious. It was the perfect note to end on. We had a great time and can't wait to go back again. Service was incredible and the vibes in the restaurant were very cool and comfortable. read more

Dined with three friends, and we all loved the restaurant - the simple but sophisticated decor; friendly, knowledgeable service; well-thought out and reasonably-price wine list and, most of all, the terrific food. The four-course menu is a bargain with premium dishes including lobster, tuna, a salmon surprise and wonderful dessert options. There are a few items that carry a clear surcharge including the best diver scallops I've eaten and a wonderful chocolate souffle for dessert. While the location may seem out of the way to many, Han 202 is easy to get to, and street parking is readily available. We're already planning another dinner, read more

We just finished an incredible family meal at Han 202. The fixed price meal for salad, appetizer, entree and dessert is delicious. The Shanghai dumpling and the sushi were standouts. We shared dishes at our table and everyone enjoyed what they ordered. Highly recommend! read more

I had never heard of Han 202 until a friend suggested we try it out last week. I love the idea of the prix fixe menu as I feel like Chinese food is often thought of as cheap and unsophisticated in the U.S., so I'm glad that Han 202 is able to showcase Chinese cuisine in an upscale manner. I got the smoked salmon salad, honey walnut shrimp, red snapper, and lemon cheesecake. My friend chose the arugula salad, salt and pepper calamari, lamb with plum sauce, and pecan chocolate tart. The walnut shrimp and calamari were both fresh and coated in a delicious batter, fried to perfection. I also loved my main dish of red snapper in a sweet and sour, garlicky sauce with fresh vegetables. Both desserts were also delicious. I'm so glad to have come across Han 202 and will definitely be back to try out more of the items! read more

The food here is very clean, well presented, made with high quality ingredients and unique. Every time I come here I walk away with a happy palette and pants too tight. Thanks to their French inclusion in their food, you get to try Chinese food with French influenced flavors such as truffle and mustard. Very good! The space is also very beautiful and well decorated! There is no rush during dining. The courses and well timed and the service is good. The menu changes frequently enough that there's always something new to try. Also: BYOB! read more

Highly recommended Chinese restaurant with reasonably priced 4-course prix fixe menu. Main courses include beef, duck, lamb, fish, and more. As frequent visitors, we can testify that everything is beautifully cooked and tastes delicious. The restaurant is family owned and operated, so the service is excellent. And the tasty white wine we drink costs less than $40! read more

We celebrated our daughter's college graduation here with family and friends. It was truly delightful, in the truest meaning of the word. The food was wonderful, the service was attentive without distracting from our celebration. Go here. I can't imaging anyone being disappointed read more

LOVED IT. Very amazed how they offered such amazing service with only three people. The food was fabulous and the service was great. I would've showed you a picture of the rack of lamb, but I ate it too quickly; Tender with a dynamic and lovely sauce. They will definitely see me again. read more

I am in love with this place. The food is so good and fresh I have eaten here twice this week . I suggest the shrimp toast

Delicious food- feels like fine dining without the pretentiousness and without paying a fortune. The attention to detail is phenomenal. Great quality dishes, fast and friendly service. Elegant ambiance- truly a gem of a restaurant. Can't praise it enough. Also their selection of tea is top notch. Will definitely be back! read more

I love checking out fine dining establishments and restaurants owned by people of color, and it's nice to see Chinese food being cooked and elevated by Chinese people. I think Chinese French fusion is interesting and fun, and this place came highly recommended to me by a friend, so I and two other friends checked it out one Friday night. Most of the dishes were good, but the lobster tail and the rack of lamb especially stick out as exceptional. I would give this place a four stars for food except I thought the dessert options were pretty basic and disappointing, and I also didn't love the service and wait time for food. We came in with coupons that they offer at the front of their restaurant that give a $5 discount or something like that, but when we tried to redeem them, the waitress pretty rudely said "No, that's not a coupon." Even though I kid you not, the business card-sized piece of paper literally said the words "COUPON" on the side. We let it go, but the service continued to not be too great, where I tried to order after my friend, but the waitress we insisted go clockwise instead, which was pretty strange. We also waited a really long time for each of our courses. We had a 6:30 reservation and the meal took a couple of hours, which would be fine if we were eating slowly, but there were large gaps in between each of our courses. All in all, I'd say the food was good - rack of lamb was excellent, and the lobster tail with the beets was also exquisite. The calamari was good but not amazing. I'm glad I tried their food, but given their prices and service, I don't think I'll be coming back anytime soon. read more

The reviews made me extremely excited & after our appetizer things unfortunately just went downhill for me. The interior is small & quite outdated however I'm impressed with what merely four people handling everything from service to cooking. The one cocktail we had was good. Twas a Manhattan with very good balance. My wife's arugula salad was decent which was served with truffle oil with almost no truffle flavor. My appetizer was the lobster salad with beet which had nice presentation & got me ripe with anticipation. My wife's walnut shrimp was tasteless & as a person who's lactose intolerant I dared not to try the condensed milk sauce. Our entrees were boring & pretty evocative any other mediocre food. Those were the shrimp with spicy garlic sausage & red snapper. The desserts tasted like store bought items that were on this side of stale. I think the place has tons of potential & its quite possible we simply ordered the wrong things. I'd definitely return with my expectations managed much better & id order their extensive drink list which includes my favorite whisky from Thailand. I have to taste this is was a lot of food & it was moderately priced. read more

Enjoyed a delicious prix fixe 4 course menu at this French-Chinese restaurant on 31st street in Bridgeport. The service was great and the food was outstanding, especially at $39 for all! There were a few item choices with a supplement and the hot chocolate souffle was well worth the extra $10. They also have a bar now which only adds to the experience. Parking was easy, even on a Saturday night. I will definitely be back! read more

I've always been curious about this restaurant finally went. We had a party of five people. I made a reservation but didn't need it. Everything we got was good to excellent Our waitress was very efficient and No Nonsense a younger man who was one of the chefs came out a couple times to deliver some items very pleasant and took pride in his work. Perfect place to bring a date . If you're a mega eater who's more concerned about quantity over quality probably not your kind of place. I had a great time my guests really enjoyed it read more

Underrated restaurant in Bridgeport! This is a great place to go out on a date or with friends & family. Han 202 has a wonderful prix-fixe menu that leaves you craving for more and gets better as each course is brought out to you. I went with my girlfriend for Valentine's Day and so glad we did because everything we had was absolutely delicious. I ordered the crab meat with cucumber, beef dumpling with celery and capers, genernal tso's chicken with spicy tangy sauce, and semi-sweet chocolate mousse. I never wanted the menu to end! My girlfriend enjoyed everything she ordered as well and I was envious of her ordering the salt and pepper calamari. By far the best thing we had that night! Do yourself a favor and make Han 202 your top restaurant choice when going out! read more

This is a hidden gem! The dining room is clean & contemporary, and the server was friendly & knowledgeable. But the highlight is the $35 pre fixe menu. There is a variety of Chinese French fusion options to choose from for each course. And it is BYOB without a corkage fee! My wife & I started with the lobster & beet salad and the arugula salad which were very good. Our appetizer course included the calamari and Shanghai dumpling which were excellent. We both ordered the red snapper with black bean sauce which was the highlight of the meal. For dessert we had the lemon cheesecake and chocolate soufflé which were great. Finally, the restaurant gladly accommodated our friend who cannot have gluten or garlic in her diet. This restaurant is a bit out of the way (parking is easy), but it is definitely worth the trip! read more

One of the best hidden gems in the City! It's family owned/run and they put a fun twist on Chinese food and have wonderful add-ons available from fancy sushi to A-5 wagyu. Great cocktails and very good service. Good for a quiet date night or to take a group of friends. read more

Excellent Asian food in a comfortable, relaxing space. Service was attentive but not intrusive. Very good value for the quality of food.

The food here is amazing and its BYOB, double score!!!! We did the prix fixe menu, I am no sure if they had other menu options because when we were seated they only gave us the prix fixe menu. I started with the Smoked salmon, watercress, caper balsamic vinaigrette, followed by salt and pepper calamari , diced onion and jalapeno, next, shrimp and scallop with spicy garlic sauce and for dessert raspberry tartlet, with whip cream. Everything was great, but I cannot speak on the dessert because I gave up sweets for lent, it looked delicious. I will definitely be back. read more

Han 202 - The menu - Chinese Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

Came in for Chinese and we're a bit shocked at the menu. 4 course price fixed at $40 / each. Henrique and I asked if we were able to order ala crate and the server said yes. I ordered the salmon which was delicious. Henrique had the chicken special & we shared the fried rice. Service was excellent and we had a nice meal. The only reason I took off one star in this review is because, for what we got the food was expensive. Also, I wanted soup and they had none. I wanted brown rice, none of that either. I would have liked a green veggie on the side.... No again. read more

Hello! Chicago! You are really missing out on a hidden gem! We were a party of four on a Saturday night. The place was not crowded. Which is usually a bad sign.
