It was good, and our group got a wide variety of dishes off our $20 prix fixe dinners to share so I got to try a lot of what they had to offer.....but I just need more food than this. I arrived hungry but not ravenous, and was still hungry after it was all done. Had I been there by myself I probably would've slapped another $20 on the table and had them do it all again. And I'm neither a fatty nor a big eater - I'm very average sized and typically don't stuff my face much. This place should probably offer a $25 or $30 option to add more courses, or increase the portion size. Next time maybe I'll see if they can accommodate that. So for any of you that are hungry, either pre-eat before going here or see if you can pay a little more and add another entree - they have such a big selection you probably won't be able to choose just one anyway. read more

5-course meal for $20 is all I have to say. The food was fantastic. I suggest the pan-seared ahi tuna. The gf got the ny strip and it was great. I got general tso's for an entree thinking they might do something different w/ it but they don't. Its just a slightly better version than what you would normally get. Dessert was simple and great. read more

"Amazing" is an understatement. Everything on the menu is top notch and not to be under estimated. 5 star dining on a budget. 5 courses for 25 dollars? Whats not to like. Best part BYOB Do get the beef apple salad & duck entree read more

Excellent. price to quality unmatched. Perfect for a cheap date that seems like an expensive one! Has many places beat in number of courses/great flavors. perfectly seasoned beef over julian chopped green apple... what the heck? It's freaking insanely awesome! read more

Went on a Friday night with 2 others. Busy, but not too loud. I'll start by saying the value and service was what made this place stand out. The food is also better than an average Chinese restaurant. In fact, I didn't really think this really even tasted like Chinese food. Salad- None really memorable. I don't remember what anyone got. Apps- Salmon - this was what I got and it personally wasn't my style. I though it would be tartar, but it was little pieces of tuna in mayo. When we didn't finish it the waitress said if we wanted she would bring another dish, which was a nice gesture. Shrimp - awesome! Alight sweet honey taste Beef - wonderful sauce/ maranade Dinner Scallop- this is what I got and it was very good Duck breast- very tasty, had some sort of soy sauce Salmon- good, but thought it was pretty salty Dessert- I had the chocolate truffle. Good, but not memorable. Food is a 3, value and service is a 4. read more

Fantastic food at reasonable price. Great service! I will come back to this place. read more

Han 202 - All taste good - Chinese Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

I recently moved to a new neighborhood and wanted to try new local restaurants. Han 202 had great reviews so we checked it out. I was hesitant bc the restaurant was pretty quiet on a friday night. Well the food was PHENOMENAL! I cant believe what a great deal this meal was and no corking fee!! This has to be one of the best deals in town and the food was so well executed. I'd describe it as sophisticated chinese comfort food. You should go. You wont regret it read more

The restaurant was great. The person who sat us was initially surly and wanted to put us at the worst table in the place. Once we found a good table (she remained surly the who evening) our service was great and the food outstanding. The pricing is great, and the items I had were wonderful. I loved the General Tsao Chicken and the Crab soup. I would go back in a heartbeat. Reservations are hard to get simply because they never answer their phone. I wish they used OpenTable. read more

I went here on the reccomendation of a friend. The place is very cute, as my friend said eclectic. We were seated immediatly and greeted and the door by a friendly member of the staff. Once seated we were pronptly greeted at our tabel and offered, sparkiling water or tap. The menu had a good selection of entrees. For $25 you can't go wrong. My friend had the chilean sea bass and I had the New York Strip. OUTSTANDING ! I truly enjoyed the apple salad with the strips of beef. I however was not that thrilled about the calamari app. It was not bad, but not outstanding. The service was excellent! The staff is friendly and explained everything that they were serving us. I would go back to this place in a heart-beat. read more

$25 for the best prix fixe I've had in a really long time. Yah, you read it right, $25. Stop reading this now, and head over. Next question? read more

I've enjoyed Han 202 for years and returned for indoor dining in September and October 2020. The food and the service remain amazing for this BYOB prix fixe menu. The salt and pepper calamari is unlike anything I've had before and is still delicious - it is a must for me on every visit. The restaurant is set up for social distancing and we made reservations for 5pm to get in right when they open. The restaurant could use our support, so please venture back in when you're comfortable and the city allows it. I'm not sure what their carry out options are. read more

I have been eating at Shanghai Terrace and Han 202 is definitely my top list for a cheaper and yet better fine dining Chinese cuisine. Food is expedited beautifully without losing its authenticity. The restaurant always offers a chef's special at the very beginning. I enjoy their 4-course meal. Chocolate soufflé is something I cannot miss. It has all its flavor and crispness and not too sweet. I will be back! read more

See all

A lot of people are writing long reviews on this one so I'll make a short one: We walked into the place and the staff greeted and seated us very promptly. We then ordered our food from the list o'foods available for the 20 dollar price. They bring out each course separately. Their timing seemed to be a bit off. We got our soup and then our salad and then it took a while (like10-15 minutes) to get our next course. The food was really good though. But the portions were pretty small. My friend and I both left feeling a little hungry still. Other cool note is that it's BYOB. read more

I am not a gourmet. My tastes are simple. Everything I had was delicious and my wife and two friends who accompanied me agreed. First of all you can park on the street in front of the restaurant. Secondly it is twenty dollars per person for five courses. I have never in my life had a better meal at a comparable cost, never. Thirdly, the service is friendly and efficient, and they didn't have a liquor license when I was there so you can bring your own wine. The portions are more than fair and I left with a savory meld of scallops, soup, and everything I could steal from my wife's plate circling my palate like that first warm breeze you feel coming from the south after another rotten winter and spring. I kept waiting for some secret extra add-on to the price or hidden charge and it never came. I will say it once again, five courses for twenty dollars that you would pay at least fifty for anywhere north of Jackson and east of Ashland. My only hesitation in giving this review is not wanting to see people waiting in line outside the place. I recommend you call ahead for reservations and enjoy it while you can. Five courses for twenty dollars! read more

Four of us dined at Han 202, a particularly inviting Chinese restaurant. The decor is striking, the staff is quite accommodating, the food is creative and delicious. BYOB is a plus as is the the fixed price menu. The three carnivores in the group liked all four of their courses. The vegetarian liked her cucumber/seaweed salad, tofu mousse and bay leaf ice cream but not the Chinese Delight vegetable entree. Even wit two spicing levels, it was a major disappointment. Why isn't one of every day's numerous entree choices vegetarian? We had phoned a few days ahead to be sure there was something a vegetarian could eat so at least she did not go home hungry but, at the restaurant it was clear that the (frozen?) uninspired brown-sauced usual vegetable assortment was Han's standard solution to that particular dietary choice which is a disincentive to return. Also, the women's rest room needs a grab bar. read more

A friend saw the Check please episode and we decided to try it out. I made a reservation, which wasn't that easy to do first I called and left a message no one ever called back to confirm. I tried again; started calling about 2pm on a Friday - thinking surely someone would be in by 2pm for prep. It took three calls before I got a live person at 4:45 pm. I made a reservation and left my cell number. When I showed up for the meal the door was locked; but all the tables were set & ready to go. The reservation was for 5:45 and they open at 5:00pm. I waited a couple minutes for someone to come to the door. I wait a couple more minutes. Finally I try the door again and someone finally comes by. They tell me they are closed tonight 'for cleaning' I say; "I had a reservation, I left my phone number. Why didn't anyone call and tell me?" The person tells me "I don't think so, I didn't see anything in the computer." Based on the other reviews - Han 202 is a stab in the dark, at best. Skip it & go to China town - that's what we did. read more

Reasonably priced. BYOB. Absolutely delicious. No waiting. 2 Free Courses. Ummm yes please. read more

I have been to this restaurant a few times and it is always a great experience! If you go, you MUST TRY THE LOBSTER FRIED RICE. It is worth the upgrade. read more

For the queen of indecisiveness, Han 202's many options for each course of the prix fixe menu was quite a challenge for me. For the appetizer and main course options there were literally 8+ options to choose from. Not to mention they threw additional specials into the bunch! Did I want the sushi, gyoza,, crab rangoon or calamari? The salmon, halibut, sea bass, tuna or steak?! HELP! TOO MUCH PRESSURE TO CHOOSE JUST ONE! Fortunately, with the help of my date, we managed to sample a (small) percentage of the items. Lucky for me that she has similar taste and likes to share! The highlights of the meal for me where the beef and lemongrass salad, salt and pepper calamari and the salmon. While the salad course gives you the option of both a green apple salad and a beef and lemongrass salad I will let you in on a little secret- the beef and lemongrass ON TOP of the green apple salad so if you are a carnivore who might have been interested in the green apple salad go for the beef instead where you can get the best of both worlds. This salad was my favorite part of the evening, tender garlicky meat atop tart and crisp julienned granny smith apples with a few capers to add even more contrast. The salt and pepper calamari was also a great choice and spicy! The heat surprised me(there were jalapenos in the bowl) but I enjoyed it, such great flavors on the lightly fried rings and tentacles- sorry to gross out all you non squid eaters- but YUM! The salmon main course came with a mango coconut sauce which was wonderfully flavored. While it is a byo restaurant we opted to skip the booze and go for green tea, which were kept full and hot the entire time! In fact, service in its entirety was very friendly and accommodating. It is a totally cute small space, decorated with an antique oriental feel. While the Beatles album that was playing on the speakers may have been out of place, the Beatlmanic While it may not have been my favorite meal ever the deal is amazing; $20 for 5 courses of gourmet Chinese cuisine, I will definitely keep this place in mind when I am fiending for fancy but want to keep the bank account happy- besides I have tons of more things on that menu to try! read more

This place is beyond words delicious! The menu choices, personal service, and flavor combinations make for a memorable dining experience. Make a reservation and be prepared for a new favorite dining experience! read more

Imagine a Chicago with a bunch of $20 five course prix fix restaurants. Before Feb 25th I couldn't. Now I am a dreamer. Normally I am the one raining on other peoples parades. I was surprised to see so many negative reviews for this gem. I read them carefully, what I discovered was the negs are not to be trusted. While no restaurant is perfect, many of the complaints have no merit. My first course was the king crab soup, a rich crab broth reinforced with miso, true there is not a lot of crab, but this is a $20 five course meal, it must be judged by the whole not the parts. I also tasted the vegetable miso, it was nice and earthy, they have captured the art of miso soup. For our second course, which is a salad course we were treated to a charred beef and apple salad, it was fantastic, rich beef seasoned well did not overpower the tart granny smith apples. The apples, and I suspect the cucumber in my Crab and cucumber salad had been sliced to order, which is a necessity in this type of salad. The vegetables would lose their integrity mighty fast if this attention to detail was skipped. The dressings were quite similar in both salads, a rice vinegar based dressing. (one Yelper complained about all the oil at the bottom of her salad. This dressing has no oil and it is too bad she couldn't come to terms with her ignorance.) Once again, not much crab in the salad, but a great flavor and texture. For our appetizer course we chose the salt and pepper calamari and the seared scallop. I am beginning to worship the salt and pepper technique so popular these days in Chinese cooking, it always seems to fire on all cylinders. The calamari was absolutely perfect. Looking limp and pale, the coating had a nice crispy texture, while the flesh gave little resistance. The aforementioned seasoning had a slight salty sting that was countered by a peppery tingle. The seared scallop was paired with a radish, arugala and strawberry salad, (sounds odd as I write), a wonderfully light dressing pulled all this together, the scallop was barely warmed through which as long as you are dealing with real top quality scallops you will be rewarded. The salad was the only hiccup in this degustation. The waitress explained it as watercress, but you can't fool me with my salad greens. I also noticed another diner had a larger more prolific salad than mine. Had I not seen this other salad I would be in the dark. I enjoyed the hell out of that wonderfully cooked scallop. The main course featured Rack of Lamb with a plumb sauce, and a Sea Bass with stir fried vegetables and mango. The Lamb was young and rich, I presume they get their Lamb from Chiapetti and sons which is only 6 blocks away or so, very fresh and it had that classic American Lamb taste, the sauce did little to compliment the Lamb, but it did not distract either. As for the Sea Bass, this is one of my favorite creatures of all time, I rarely order it because of ethical and economic reasons, but I caved under the pressure of my pallet. They left a fair amount of bones in it, which for me means more flavor, but some may want to be on the lookout. The fish was rich, buttery and cooked perfectly. Surrounded by a wonderful medley of vegetables and mango, the Chef had reached perfect harmony in this dish, I could not have been happier. Dessert arrived, no choices here. They make a vanilla infused ice cream topped with a tomato and mango sorbet, anyone who takes the time to pick this dessert apart has missed the whole concept of this restaurant. It is simple, clean, and will not leave you hating yourself for overindulgence. The room is long, looks like it could be cramped when busy, but the pillows and comfy chairs are a real nice touch. Easy to get to from any part of the city, it is only 2 minutes of the Dan Ryan. BYOB makes this spot a must for anyone on a tight budget that would like to feel special. If you dine here do us all a favor and rate the experience as a whole, not by one or two dishes that don't live up to your experience. This place is a tremendous value, and I fear business is not that good. read more

I have to admit that I was quite impressed with Han 202. My search for a good Chinese res truant in Chicago has finally ended. I could not have asked for a better evening. Great food with wonderful friends. Han 202 is a wonderful little Chinese eatery on the Southside. Not only is the food delicious, they offer a five course meal for 20 dollars. You would be hard pressed to find a better value for your hard earned dollar. The highlights of the dinner included: The diced, Green apple salad: Fresh apples dices into small portions that is covered with dressing. Shrimp Egg Roll: I'm not a big fan of any kind of fish, but this generous portion of Shrimp goodness was fried perfectly. General Tao's Chicken: The have a nice take on this Chinese Standard that included a wonderful Teriyaki Glaze. I almost forgot to mention that Han 202 is BYOB. No Corking fee. Han 202 is the only Chinese place in Chicago that I would actually go out of my way to visit. The food is delicious and beautifully presented. The next time that I have a hankering for some good Chinese food, I'm heading down to the Southside to visit the good people at Han 202. It will be well worth the trip. read more

So I'm a little biased because I live about as close as one could possibly live to this restaurant, but I have to say that this is possibly the best dining experience I've had in Chicago. We've been waiting for Han 202 to open for a while, and the first time we went, they were only sort of open (for their friends), but the delightful owners gave us a complimentary meal. Then we went back a few days later to try their "grand opening" tasting menu. This is a restaurant that could be in West Loop for how beautifully designed it is, but the quality of the food is so much higher. They do Sushi, Seafood, and Chinese food. The sushi makes you forget Lake Michigan isn't an ocean, the meat is super-tender, and everything just tastes right - both the classic and more inventive flavors. The presentation is also on par with much much more expensive restaurants in trendier areas. I had the miso soup (really hearty and delicious), green apple salad (a riff on papaya or jicama salad - apples sliced into a slaw, with watercress and candied walnuts), an egg roll (this place makes egg rolls taste new and classy), the kang bao chicken (chicken with peppers and peanuts - HUGE portion; all white meat; spicy and just generally OMG); and a red bean mochi. My boyfriend also had the miso, with a seaweed salad, sushi appetizer (actually a large-ish portion of sushi...the real kind, no california roll nonsense - although i bet their california roll is incredible), malaysian style prawns, and mango mochi. oh yeah, they have like eight flavors of mochi, which are little ice cream dumplings. Their spicy tuna, which we tried before they opened, is also killer. Service is ridiculous: When I got back from the restroom, my napkin had been neatly folded and placed next to my plate. Every time we finished one of our FIVE COURSES FOR LESS THAN $20 A PERSON, the next one was there within a minute. Our water glasses were always full, and they kept offering us more hot water for our tea. Go. Now. Bring some business to Bridgeport, and have a fantastic freakin' meal while you do it. read more

I hate to use the word gem to describe a restaurant. It's cliche and I usually find it irritating. However, I can't think of a more perfect word to describe this restaurant. Han 202 is the perfect gem in Bridgeport. The options here are endless and I left feeling like a thief. I didn't steal anything but a $20 5-course dinner will make anyone feel like they are cheating the system. And a BYOB nonetheless? How do they do it? Honestly, I want to know. If this place was in Lincoln Park the line would be out the door and halfway down the block. I'm fortunate that Han 202 is only a 3-minute drive from my house. My 5-course dinner consisted of: *Soup: Vegetable Tofu Soup - Very flavorful and packed with different veggies. The broth was wonderful and I drank every last drop. *Salad: Beef with Lemongrass - This was crazy delicious. I don't even have words to describe how tasty this was. The beef was warm, the apples were cold. The beef was soft, the apples were crunchy. It was the perfect combination of every type of flavor and texture combination known to the culinary world. It was basically a party in my mouth. *Appetizer: Crab Rangoon - Best crab rangoon ever. EVER! I could have eaten about 84 of these. I'm drooling right now as I write this thinking about how delicious that crab rangoon was. *Entree: Rack of Lamb - This was good but compared to the previous 3 courses I felt the flavor wasn't as strong. There was nothing wrong with this dish but I would try another entree next time I go back. *Dessert: Vanilla Ice Cream - Nice closing to our dinner and no complaints. A $20 5-course BYOB is a gem anywhere. Thank you for being in Bridgeport. read more

B to the Y to the O, yah that's how I roll. I don't think I could ask for anything more from a dining experience. Reasonable prices, lots of food, modern atmosphere, byo, not cash only, byo, byo, byo., yes, yes, yes. Did I mention it's BYO? For a mere $20 I got more then a belly full of laughs, but also some king crab, some shredded apple in a cup and monkfish (thanks for the recommendation yelp-aholics). Which has prompted me to constantly throw the homemade insult to people, "oh yah well your mother was monkfish". read more

I love that there is a place like this in Bridgeport; for too long all that existed were neighborhood bars and hot dog stands! Part of my excitement about Han 202 is that it is a North Side restaurant located on the South Side, my favorite half of Chicago. Because the rent is low, they can offer their upscale selections at an affordable price. Because they aren't on the North Side, your fellow diners aren't a bunch of stick thin bleached blondes with purchased tans. The 5 course meal offers quite a bit of variety; I chose the vegetable soup, green apple salad, crab rangoon, the halibut shacha sauce, and the dessert of the day (berries and some unidentifiable fruits). The soup was great, but the salad was a bit too much. I mean that there was a LOT of apple, tossed with maybe some tart vinegar (it tasted good), with some peppercorn and capers. I would try a different salad unless you really love apples. The crab rangoon was a wonderfully upscale version of one of my favorite comfort foods; the shell was soft fried instead of hard, and the sauce was very flavorful and soaked into the shell for a giant dose of YUM. The halibut sauce was delicious and savory, but the halibut itself was flavorless - maybe I don't like halibut? Or maybe I keep making the mistake of ordering seafood in a landlocked state? (I need to stop doing that.) The dessert was whimsical; berries and other fruit bits scattered on a white plate. Other Stuff: The decor was clean & modern and the service was prompt and friendly. This place is definitely on my list to try again, with the note to avoid the seafood and keep an ice cream place in mind for a real dessert afterwards. read more

Let me start by saying that I'm not a huge fan of Chinese food in general. However, after seeing Han 202 on Check Please, I was intrigued since it seemed like a different take on regular Chinese fare. So, my boyfriend and I made the trek down to Bridgeport on a Friday night and met another couple there for dinner. We had a 6:30 reservation and were seated right away. The atmosphere here is quite lovely and elegant, but not so much so that you feel out of place. The restaurant is fairly small, but the tables are spaced out enough so that you aren't eating right next to other people, which is nice. Also, it's quiet enough that you don't need to scream at the person next to you in order to be heard. As others have noted, the menu has changed (the menu on their web site is not up to date) and is now a four-course prixe fixe for 25 bucks (the soup course was removed). Despite the fact that many of the desserts include a surcharge, this meal is still a great deal. They brought truffle fries for the table to start. Not exactly what you would expect in a Chinese restaurant, but delicious nonetheless. For my meal, I had the beet salad (which was really a whole beet with some toppings), the soft-shell crab appetizer, the shrimp and scallops in spicy garlic sauce, and creme brulee. The beet salad and the soft-shell crab were both fairly small portions, but the entree was a normal size. Frankly, I was glad the first two courses were small since I did not want to feel overly full. The first three courses were all superb. The dessert was also on the small side and was ok, but not stellar. I've had better creme brulee elsewhere. All in all, I was very pleased with the meal. The service was excellent--attentive without being overbearing. Also, they served us all at the same time and waited to remove our plates until we were all done with each course, which is always nice. I will say that this is probably not the place to go if you're in a rush. We started around 6:30 and were not done until 9. There was quite a bit of time in between each course. This was fine for us since we were busy chatting with friends, but may not be to everyone's liking. Bridgeport is pretty out of the way for me, but I would definitely make the trip back here again for a great meal at a great price. read more

Although I can't comment on the quality of the food, I'm giving it the lowest rating possible. Reason? Went in there with a friend one day. The place was empty. Not a single customer in there. We asked for a table, and they refused to seat us because we didn't have a reservation. We were told that they require a reservation in order to eat there. I asked why we would need a reservation seeing as how there is no one in there and there were obviously tables available. They said it's their policy and we would have to come back another time, and they refused to serve us. I can understand needing a reservation when the place is packed, but even when it's completely empty? The food could be the best in the world, but I have no way of knowing. They obviously didn't want our business that bad, and they won't ever get it now. read more

General Tso's Chicken was really good, the rice was cooked to perfection. I don't know if i total buy into the $35 set price tag but okay. The service was good. The outside of the restaurant was blah,the inside is much better. Once in a while i would eat here no everyday due to the price. read more

Just had dinner at Han 202, and what a great time we had. Since the restaurant is BYOB, we brought plenty of adult beverages. There is no corkage fee, and the staff will provide you with an opener and ice bucket. There is a 4-course menu for $35; this is a fantastic bargain. My favorites were the soft-shell and the Mongolian beef, but everything looked great. The service is very good, and I would definitely return. read more

"J, this isn't Chinatown Chinese food. You know how I know? There isn't any paper on the tables..." That was my opening line to my girlfriend as we walked into this place. Reading some of the earlier reviews and a little apprehensive about reservations, I called the restaurant at around 4:45 and had no problems making a reservation for 5:30. Got there at 5:10 and were promptly seated. The place was EMPTY - I think one party of 2 was there, and that was it. Of course it filled up later in the evening, but for reference - the earlier you eat, the less crowded it is. On with the review, categorically, of course. Location: 4 out of 5. Bridgeport holds a special place in our hearts because we lived there for a year. We lived close to Bridgeport Veterinary Services before the coffee house up the street became hip and trendy. So making the trek down to 31st street from the South Loop was no problem. And honestly, it should be conveniently located for lots of people. The Dan Ryan is right there, as is Lake Shore Drive. One could even take I-55 if needed depending on starting location. The stretch of 31st street as others have alluded to is metered. However, if you go about 1.5 blocks east, there are free spots on the street. Yup, good ol' free parking. If you're driving west on 31st and you see the "Smart Kids Digital Tutoring" Center, it's just past that. If you see Scoops on the right, you just went a little too far. Decor: 4 out of 5. Simple, elegant, nothing that screamed gaudy or obnoxious. Really didn't have any complaints about the way the place looked. The chairs are comfortable, and if you sit way back in them, they are REALLY comfortable. Wooden tables (sans paper tablecloths), calm colors on the walls, etc. etc. Nothing flashy or fancy, but nothing that was chintzy either. Service: 5 out of 5. Not sure what I think about a place that constantly brings me new silverware from the silverware platter. I'm not averse to it, it's just a little different for me. But honestly, service here was very quick. Wait staff, although by no means professionally trained, were actually very attentive and friendly, always pausing for permission before taking our plates away. Our water was refilled many times, even as we were paying the bill. Absolutely no complaints here. Variety of Selection: 5 out of 5 Check out their website for current menu items, but as I was looking through it at the restaurant, it dawned on me that I could have every type of living creature that would make a vegetarian CRINGE and CRY. King Crab Soup? Sure. Lemongrass beef with apple? Yum. Fried Ahi Tuna? Don't mind if I do. Rack of Lamb? OK! The only meatless option was the dessert. Fine with me. Quality/Quantity of Food: 3 out of 5. It was weird - depending on what one orders, it's very possible to get much more proportionally than other people in the dining party. Soups all seemed equal, as did salads. But my gf got the tempura as an appetizer, and it just seemed like she got much more tempura than I did fried ahi tuna, which was two small pieces, maybe 1.5 - 2 oz total. She got the seafood curry and definitely got more food in her serving bowl than the three small pieces in my rack of lamb. And reading others' reviews, this may not be an isolated event. If you are looking for truly authentic Chinese cuisine (think paper tablecloths), Han202 may not be the place for you. That being said, no complaints about the spicy king crab miso soup because man it had a kick; the lemongrass beef was tasty as well. The fried ahi tuna I had? Mmmm...sorta missed the mark. I would have preferred to see (and taste) a seared ahi tuna. The fried method yielded a rubbery flesh, and although the center was nice and pink, it was just a littler underwhelming. Bar Louie makes a better seared ahi tuna. I'm not even lying. The lamb, which I ordered medium rare, came back medium well. This MAY have been a lapse in communication, but perhaps based on events in the past, they purposely cooked it that thoroughly. I mean, there was no pink in my small portion of lamb whatsoever. Somewhat unacceptable. The dessert was nothing mem Quality was average for what they were trying to strive for. Modern fusion? Contemporary Pan-Asian? Whatever you want to call it, there are definitely worse restaurants out there who try to do the same thing. But there are also restaurants out there who do a much better job too. This place almost reminded me of a toned down version of Mulan (closed for awhile now). Value for the money: 4 out of 5 (subjective) By fixed price trendy/fusion/contemporary menus, a good value for the money when compared to some place like Opera. Also cheaper compared to eating at Red Lantern or Dragonfly. For comparisons to other Bridgeport/Chinatown restaurants, it's pricey. For 55 - 60 bucks total, 2 people can eat a meal fit for a (insert name here) dynasty king in Chinatown. Overall: 4 out of 5. read more

Terrible service. I had to ask for the check after waiting 20min all the while there were only two other tables present. The cucumber salad with crab was good with a fair amount of crab. The calamari was soggy and greasy. It was very apparent that the deep fryer was not hot enough and that the food was not given a chance to drain. My steak entree was over cooked and unseasoned. Take into consideration the $25 price and weigh your options I wouldn't go back even in light of that price point. read more

It's not often that there is a restaurant that I think about just about every day after I have eaten there. Han 202 is one where I can say that is true. For $20 plus tax and tip I was treated to fresh food with delectable sauces, friendly attentive service, a lovely hip atmosphere, and never an empty glass from my BYOB 6 pack. For $20 you chose one item from 5 courses. Just about all of them sound tempting. The portions are small but I promise you won't be hungry when you leave. Everything is so rich it really fills you up. I decided to try some things I wouldn't normally order and I fully intend on going back as many times as I can to try everything else. I had the spicy king crab miso soup. I love miso soup and this was a great twist. For my salad I opted for the lettuce seaweed salad. It was good but probably my least favorite thing I tried. I also tried the green apply salad which my friend had and I think I liked that better. For my appetizer I ordered the seared scallop (I don't think I have ever eaten a scallop before!) at the recommendation of the server. It was simply mouth-watering. It was so soft and juicy and the sauce on it was amazing. I would have licked my plate if I didn't think they would have asked me to leave. For my entrée (and this was a TOUGH choice) I had the New York strip with spicy miso sauce. Again it was the sauce that made the dish but the meat was tender and juicy. Dessert was a tiny bit of ice cream. This was the only thing I wish was a bit bigger because it was about 2 bites and it was good so it left me craving! I strongly suggest reservations, but go. This truly was a great dining experience and I can't wait to go back. I really hope they keep the menu the way it is with the $20 meals. Bridgeport is lucky to have it. read more

I thought the place was just ok. The $20 5 course prix fix sounds like a good deal, but in reality, they are tiny bite size Chinese/Asian fusion foods. Everything looked nice, but that was about it. I believe you can get better food at Chinatown for less than $20 a person. read more

My girlfriend and I were eager and excited to try out their $20 prix fixe deal that I found on www.chicagoprixfixe.com. With chilean sea bass on the menu, I figured there was no way you could go wrong. The decor is ok, nothing memorable, but it's clean inside. It is a small restaurant, maybe 20 tables at most. I'm not a food critic by any means, but I have to say that even for $20, not a whole lot went right. The service was slow (so slow that at the table next to us, a poor woman had to endure her douchebag date complaining ALL night.) The food was okay. It's not bad. It's not any different than I would expect from a cheap meal in Chinatown either. The seabass was covered in a very heavy and sweet sauce, which makes me sad, because I love the chilean sea bass. As you would expect, the portions are small, but that didn't bother me. It just wasn't the quality of food I was expecting. For a place I was really excited to go to, I was definitely disappointed. I am not sure I would go back. read more

This place is awesome! You get a nice amount of food and a nice variety to choose from. I loved the green apple salad and salt and pepper calamari...it is also fabulous that it is byob! Definitely a great place for dinner. read more

Can't help wondering why some residents in Bridgeport or any where else would even think the food here is anything but mediocre. Originally from Bridgeport, saw Han 22 on Check please, was excited to go back to the neighborhood. Took my daughter, her husband and my wife for my daughters B-day. The excitement soon faded. We all ordered different courses and tried each others food, sadly I didn't fine any of the dishes even remotely good. I've been wondering after moving up North some yrs ago if my taste has changed from when I lived near there? The bill was over $200.00 w/tip and I had that feeling of being ripped off. After leaving, I asked my daughter and her husband what their opinion was, they tried being polite but I felt a little unease in their answer. So, Bridgeport people, I think you have to broaden your horizons, head out North, you just might strike Gold. read more

Great place. Love the food and service is beyond reproach. Have been eating dinner here for a long time and will continue to do so.

I love this place. Definitely the best place to open in Bridgeport, like, ever. It opened in April in the old Trattoria 31 space, and it's kept to its initial great start. I would know. I've been there a few times. They're, I guess, Asian Fusion. It feels Japanese, but the name comes from a Chinese dynasty in the year 202. I've heard they have a full menu for lunch but I've only tried dinner there. Dinner is a five-course meal for a flat $20 ($1 for drinks) in which you pick one thing from each course. Generally everything is good, it's more whatever mood you're in. To keep things fresh, the menu of choices changes every month. For entrees, I had the monk fish the first time and the New York Strip the second. The steak was best, but the monk fish was good too once I figured out it tasted good when dipped in the sauce. The salad and soup courses are, in my opinion, the best. I *heart* the beef apple salad. The best part is the service. It gives new meaning to the word. They are constantly vigilant. Never will your water glass get below half full. Yet, it doesn't feel overbearing either. Definite recommend. read more

$25 prix fixe menu everyday. For $25 you get a 5 course meal: salad, soup, appetizer, entrée, and desert. Their food if delicious, and well prepared. I ordered a medium rare fillet mignon, and it was cooked perfectly. If that isn't enough to convince you; how about the fact that they are BYOB, and have amazing service, and their servers are attentive and will chill you beer, or white wine in the back until it needs to be served. I wasn't able to find a flaw so I had to give it 5 stars. (Tip: make sure to make a reservation, they have limited seating.) read more
