Really good takeout option!! Ordered the kung pao chicken and sesame noodle with chili oil. I will say the chili oil noodles were INCREDIBLY SPICY, even though I asked for mild. Docked a star here but then again, I probably have a relatively low spice tolerance. read more

Dined here in a private area for a NYU alumni event. The place was sprawling and spacious, with fancy decor. We enjoyed a tasting of the menu, with the appetizers including Noodles with minced pork, spicy fries, chili steamed dumplings, scallion pancakes, and green veggie dumplings. The Noodles were perfectly cooked and the minced pork was bursting with flavor. Fries were satisfyingly crispy, well seasoned, but had a kick to it, so tasted too spicy for me. Chili dumplings were filled with yummy meat, and were surprisingly not that spicy. Scallion pancakes were thin, with a nice crunch, and plenty of scallion taste. Veggie dumplings were just okay, as I found the outer wrapping to be too thick and filling to be a little bland. For the main courses, we were served pork with celery and peppers, chicken with onion and peppers, veggie noodles, and spicy tofu. The pork dish was my favorite, as the meat was tender, and full of wonderful savory flavor, while the veggies were fresh and cooked well. Service was good. The food came out quickly throughout the night and we enjoyed a lovely evening here. read more

We had gone to Han Dynasty for lunch. The restaurant has a massive seating area, and we were seated immediately on entering (no wait time). We ordered their cumin chicken, chilli oil dumplings and fish soup. Really enjoyed the fish soup - it was not very umami and had the right amount of tang. The portion size was massive and enough to feed three people. The cumin chicken was delicious as well, and the cumin flavour really came through. These two were the star dishes for me. The dumplings were good, but the flavours were a bit alien to me. Han Dynasty is definitely worth it, considering that the prices are pretty low and the dishes are super packed with flavours. Highly recommend! read more

Went here our first night living in the city. Something about Chinese take out seemed just right! Service was great, hostess was very nice. Solid Chinese take out, very fresh and not crazy oily. My favorites were the Pork Belly Buns and the General Hand Chicken! My Wife's favorites were the Egg Rolls and Lo Mein. We got medium spice on the Lo Mein and Chicken Fried Rice, that shii was spicy! read more

My friend and I were a walk in on a Wednesday night during dinner time and were sat immediately. There is a tea pot provided at your table to drink tea with your meal. Service was amazing, food was brought out insanely quickly and it was DELICIOUS. They were huge portions so we had plenty to share. I will be retuning here in the future as the food and service is amazing. read more

Had a party of 6 and we walked in on a weeknight and was able to get seated right away. They have a good amount of menu items and we ordered the below. The dishes are tasty and very Szechuan inspired. You can get some spicy dishes along with other non spicy options. The servers are really friendly and attentive, if you need a water refill or extra bowl, etc. The interior decor is really nice inside as well. Definitely recommend checking this place out, they have a few different locations around the city. read more

Was a walk-in on a Saturday night at eight, but this place is huge and we were seated within twenty mins! Noise levels on the lower end, even when the place was busy! Our order was quickly taken by our friendly server, Jeevan, which included: Ginger Sour String Beans (nice and garlicy), Chicken Lo Mein, Veggie Fried Rice, Cumin Fries, Dry Pot Style (Chicken, and Tofu). Food was in-line with expectations and hit all the right spots! I wish it was a little spicy, and their 10/10 spice level is not that spicy! Excellent Sichuan food though in the UWS neighborhood. Menu slightly on the expensive side; Will definitely be frequenting this place for their super quick service, and good food! read more

Super fast service, extra spicy options. We had a party of 5 on a Saturday night and were served immediately. We had a couple special requests for gluten free dishes which were easily accommodated. My dry pot was definitely the 10/10 they advertised. The scallion pancakes and garlic green beans were tasty and the crazy peanuts are a must! read more

Given the high rating, I was expecting a better experience. The room was irritatingly loud, and the service wasn't remotely professional. My fried dumplings came out so fast, I wonder how they were heated. Gloppy and gross. The hot sauce chicken was somehow brown and thick, not red and thin. It was like gravy, not oil. I won't be back. read more

After seeing "Good Showbiz" we needed a late night snack. We found Han Dynasty. We all decided to ours veggie dishes. Pea Shoots with garlic, Egg plant in garlic sauce, welted green beans, and chili oil wantons. Wow outstanding! Focus on the Egg Plant and Chili Oil Wantons. Worth a trip to the restaurant. Great service and they allowed us to close down the restaurant. Enjoy! read more

Han Dynasty did not disappoint! So many different options on the menu and everything is so flavorful and delicious! I highly recommend trying the cumin tofu and the dry pepper fish, which I forgot to take a photo with but it was amazing! Very comparable to Birds of a Feather Fish Fillet! Is on the pricier side, but will definitely be back! My new favorite Chinese restaurant in the UWS! read more

This place is GASSSS. Went in on a Monday night and it was deserted. Felt like we were royalty at the Han Dynasty for the night. Service was fantastic and the music was good. It wasn't noisy and the songs were bumping, we had to ask who was on aux. The spicy, crunchy cucumbers might be the best cucumber salad I've ever had. It's so good, I'm trying to recreate it at home and I just can't nail it 100%. The chicken wings were delightfully hot, crunchy, and juicy. It was spicy but spicy in a way where your mouth salivates, yearning for more...not spicy to where we were crying from heat. Stir fry was good, drinks were good, portions are good, prices are great. All pros, no cons. Looking forward to when the patio is open next time I'm in New York! read more

Probably the best lo mein in the city. It's not greasy and comes in authentic chinese food container. It's a large portion and well seasoned. read more

It's generally been pretty good in the past, but my most recent experience was a real disappointment. While prices have risen substantially over the past few years, portion sizes have noticeably shrunk. My beef lo mein had virtually no beef in it, and the amount of lamb in the cumin lamb dish was frankly pathetic. Even the Sichuan pickled vegetables now come in a smaller container, which feels like a transparent attempt to disguise portion cuts. The food itself is decent, but it no longer offers anything close to fair value. I won't be going back. read more

Plates emptied. Here's what you should get: -APPETIZER: Beef and tripe in chili oil -VEGGIES: Pea leaves with garlic, string beans with minced pork -MAIN: Beef cumin style You can thank you later. read more

Reminded me of the excellent old-school great Chinese I remember. Walked in at an odd hour (around 4pm) for a very late lunch and was pleased with the food although the spiciness was next level (even though we asked for it mild). Wonton soup bowl was delicious but pricey ($12+) . The shrimp dish was magnificent but really really hot. We had delicious noodles as well. Place is great, high ceilings and not noisy. Food came quickly and service was excellent. I'd be back here in a second. Sooooo good . read more

I would give it 3.5 actually as there were some good and bad things at this restaurant. We started with the dan dan noodles and scallion pancakes. The pancakes were not very good. Not much flavor even with the sauce so pretty bland overall. 2 people at our table loved the noodles and me and another thought they were good but had too much peanut sauce. The noodles were cooked well and it had a nice kick but I felt the sauce was too cloying. I had the wonton soup and it was really bad! The broth was totally bland! Nothing else in it but scallions and wontons. The wontons were all opened and there weren't that many. Definitely a huge let down! For dinner, my girlfriend and friend ordered the kung pow. She got shrimp and he got chicken. I tasted both and they were decent but both said they lacked heat and weren't a true kung pow. My friends wife ordered the garlic chicken. She felt it was good. I thought it was ok but needed more garlic. I ordered the cilantro beef with edamame and this was the best dish ordered at the table! The meat was cooked perfectly...tender and flavorful. The cilantro and edamame added some excellent flavor. This dish has a very strong kick so if you are not into spicy food, this is not your dish. Unfortunately though, many things were lacking. Overall, I'd read reviews from others and try things that many have raved about as some things will be a complete let down. read more

Decent Chinese food in the upper west. Portions a little small for the price, but probably more compared to nonchinese foods. Menu is interesting as you pick the different styles of cooking (and you add the meat). Drop by if craving is what I'd recommend, otherwise go to Chinatown. read more

Often get delivery as my husband can't walk that far uphill. Never disappoints and even our Asian relatives approve of the cuisine!

Had not realized they had so many locations. Ate at the original location a decade ago in Old City Philly and not much has changed in that time 80 miles away on the UWS. This time we did takeout. It's just not authentic. The green beans were the one dish that was close. Everything else was just calling it in. This is what happens when food gets mass produced as a chain without careful attention by the chefs. It's really hard to find authentic Szechuanese cuisine, esp. in N. Manhattan, and this just isn't it. read more

If you have a chance to come here on the first Monday of every month, they have a 15 course tasting menu that is phenomenal. Otherwise, if you come here on any other day, you will still leave more than satisfied. Always an incredible experience here. Not only is the food delicious, but the service is speedy quick and excellent. I highly recommend the Dan noodles, the dry pot, and the eggplant in garlic sauce. That will nicely feed a group of 3! read more

I've been going to Han Dynasty on the Upper West Side for about eight years, and this was by far the most disappointing visit. I asked the waiter to bring the appetizers first, but everything came out together. The dishes were bland and lacked the signature flavor this restaurant used to have. They also didn't honor the spice-level numbers which is something I've always liked about Han Dynasty- being able to choose how spicy you want your food. This time everything tasted flat and without the usual depth or balance. After many good meals here over the year, this experience was really disheartening. Unfortunately, I won't be back. read more

We were looking for an authentic Chinese restaurant, and didn't want go to China town. So we found this gem! We entered in the middle of the day on a Sunday. Wasn't busy, thankfully for us! First of all the place is huge. Looks are quite deceiving. This place is deep!! We were immediately greeted by a hostess who sat us. Then a server came by. We ordered the Wontons in chili oil! They were so good. Had some "kick" to them! But what impressed me, was how tender and light the wonton noodles were. Melt in your mouth!! Then we had the House Special Fried Rice. The chicken and pork in there was so tender!! Could have used some soy sauce, but was excellent! We then had the General Han's Chicken. The chicken was tender. I liked the fact that the dish was pretty full and not loaded with broccoli to "fill the plate", like every other restaurant. We often take Chinese food home from China town to the Bronx, this is much closer, and much better!! This will most definitely our manhattan Chinese food spot!! read more

Great option for family-style Chinese food on the UWS. My party of 5 was worried they wouldn't take a walk-in on a Saturday night, but it ended up only being a 10 minute wait. In the meantime, the staff was friendly and offered to have us wait at the bar. My group ordered a couple of entrees and sides to share, including the cold sesame noodles and the salt n pepper style tofu. Service was incredibly fast and we had all our food in under 10 minutes. I was looking for more of a budget option (entrees are $19-$25 each) so I went with the seafood tofu soup for $16. It's big - probably enough to serve 5 or 6 as a side. However, I was starving and finished the whole thing myself lol. I liked it, although I felt that the broth itself could have been a little more interesting. The contents included tofu, bits of shrimp, scallops, egg, tomatoes, and a couple bites of squid. I'd come back when I'm more in the mood for a big family-style meal. read more

We started off with spicy cucumbers. Delish and refreshing. Their tofu veggie soup was super generous. Great value for the price. The cumin chicken packed a punch! Really great! But their long pepper beef was the absolute star! The stir fried pea sprouts in garlic oil was a generous portion, a great value. Their rice was super tasty. Spicy won tons in chili oil was a bit off, less enjoyable than other times said my friends who are locals. Service was efficient and friendly enough. read more

4.5 really. We went on a Tuesday night at 9pm, and the place was empty... completely... honestly it made me nervous, so I checked my trusted yelp reviews again, just too confirm this place was the same place is found... yelp said 4.3 stars, and plenty of reviews... so we forged on... obviously we were seated immediately, and service was friendly and efficient. The decor had a modern industrial vibe, big Asian inspired graphics, the music selection was rap... but not so loud that it was invasive. They immediately told up that they close at 10pm... on the menu how've it said they were open every day to 2am.... but based on just us 2 being there...I could understand why they were closing early.. they had more staff then customers... based on the quality of the food, I hope they last... okay, the food.. sorry it took so long to get here... will first we got jasmine tea in a beautiful iron pot... it was dark and not fragrant at all... more like red tea ... we then ordered the spicy cucumber salad, the spicy beef tendon soup and the cumin lamb. The reason they didn't get 5 stars was the cucumber.. it was colly sweet... however, I did complain, they took it back and brought out a less sweet version that complemented the other spicy food.. the beef tendons were cut into dice sized cubes, it can with just a bit of bok choy and spaghetti in a delicious slightly spicy broth...I will definitely have that again. But the star of the show for me was the cumin lamb. Thin slices of lamb, perfectly cooked, perfectly seasoned, with a nice kick, and a few veggies. Highly recommended... read more

Nice restaurant with solid Szechuan dishes. All spicy, but can change the level of spiciness when ordering. I was able to get everything with low spice and was able to tolerate it. We ordered the snow pea with garlic (this dish had no spiciness!), dry fry beef and eggplant with garlic sauce. The dry fry beef and eggplant were both cooked in low spiciness, which was perfect for me! Also came with a huge bowl of rice! Overall, food was good! Would probably return. read more

Han Dynasty is one of my favorite places to stop by when I'm in the city. The atmosphere is cozy, but can also get really loud since the interior has a lot of material that sound bounces off of. The portions are good for the size of the meals, and if you love spice like I do, they don't hold back on it at all. The service could be a bit better, as it sometimes takes a while to find your server to ask for refills or anything else you may need, as they seem to disappear after taking your order. All in all, it's a wonderful meal and I will definitely be back! read more

Cute place. Sometimes with Chinese it's hard to know what's good for take out versus where's a good place to sit and eat. Inside is really big, really open space and lots of seats. Seems like a good place to get a meal with a friend and I even saw bigger parties. Food is good. I got the beef soup. Was just all right, the beef itself was kinda gross (very hard and tough) The Dan Dan noodles seem to be the highlight and we're very good. I don't remember seeing anything like hot pot or anything but they had the staple Chinese dishes. read more

Beautiful restaurant with a Greco Roman architectural theme. The place is enormous, especially by Manhattan standards so definitely nice for big groups. We sat at the bar as there were no tables available for a walk in and service was quick but not super attentive nor super friendly. We had the pork belly buns which were great, the peanuts being a much needed contrast from the richness of the pork belly. The pork fried rice was average but got the job done. The garlic chicken was very good and had a lot of fresh vegetables but was a tad bit over salted. Overall average Chinese spot, best for large groups. read more

Food suuuucked. My stomach hurts and my boyfriend is still in the bathroom. Cumin lamb was pretty tasty but nothing was spicy enough, seafood was weak, and none of the bajillion other things our large party ordered were anything to write home about. Service was fine I guess, I didn't really notice. Wall decor was mostly really ugly pop art paintings but again, I don't care about that, I just care that the food was a big shrug that hurt my tummy. read more

A really nice place to get food with friends. The Dan Dan noodle was special, with a nice mix of sauce and noodle. The complexities of the sauce showed up. Other appetizers include some dumplings which were excellent and properly browned, a pickled cucumber, and a cold noodle dish. The tendon appetizer was nice as well although a bit sugary. The tofu fish spicy stew was less successful ... there wasn't enough complexity of flavor and not enough protein relative to sauce. The scallion lamb needed more variety of flavor. The pea pod stem leaf was decent with good garlic flavor. In general the dishes weren't spicy enough. The dishes are rated from 1 to 10 and the 10s felt like 5s. The service was really helpful and the interior was elegant and spacious. A worthy place to dine. EDIT: Want to also note that the service was excellent and prompt. In fact, at times servers suggested a slight alternative to our initial choice, and when we took said suggestion, it turned out to be a really great dish! read more
