Absolutely incredible experience from the time I made a reservation to the dessert! First off, their staff is second to none. They're so friendly and helpful. They had no issues with my 13 person reservation and made us all feel so welcome from the moment we stepped in the door. I chose this restaurant for my large party due to the large menu, which truly has something for everyone. My group loved the various offerings, which included multiple price points, as well as their specialty cocktails. For appetizers, I split several sushi rolls with everyone and they were so fresh. We loved them! For my entree, I got the shrimp lo mein, because you can't go wrong with noodles. They were delicious! Everyone ordered something different and I heard zero complaints throughout the night. They loved the neat presentations of the food and stellar service. A piece of cheesecake came out as a total surprise thanks to my friends notifying the staff and it was delicious. Thank you so much Han Tang for knocking it out of the park and truly making my celebratory weekend an exceptional one! read more

I am hard pressed to find anything negative about my dinner at Han Tang. They clearly understand the concept of visual style, both with the interior decoration and food presentation. The staff is very friendly and attentive. The food is both simple and fresh, and I mean simple in the best way. Nothing is over complicated or put on the plate for no reason. The yellowtail ceviche was smooth and delicious, the chawanmushi with caviar and uni was steamed soft with no over doneness, with a briny flavor throughout that you should be prepared for. The Peking duck is served in an elaborate chest with drawers for every component, visually striking. I felt it also lent itself to mindful consumption of the dish rather than rushing the experience. The menu is huge, so give yourself the time to look through it all. There are also a lot of interesting tidbits of information throughout, so the menu itself is part of the experience. They let me in wearing casual clothing, but it could easily be a location you use for a dress up occasion. Top marks, highly recommended. read more

I came here on a Monday evening and it gave off fancy Chinese restaurants vibes. Upon being seated they gave out a hot towel, was not expecting that, but a cool plus. I ended up ordering the sushi and sashimi dinner ($38). The included miso soup was served in a fancy cup and it was just as good! The seaweed was very fresh and the soup was very smooth and delicious! Sushi tasted fresh and the rice was seasoned well! Very good sushi! Service speed seemed average. Overall this felt like an upscale/fancy Asian restaurant with good food! I would definitely come back again! Food(50%): 8.9 Staff/service(25%): 6.8 Value(25%): 6.8 Overall: 7.8/10 read more

Came here for dinner and had a great time. Parking was easy and we were able to be seating right away at the sushi bar. It is always fun to watch the sushi chefs. The workers are all so kind. They start by bringing out hot towels that feel great. They then give a complimentary rock shrimp tempura which is delicious and was such a fun surprise. The menu is large with a variety of dishes and sushi. My friend was able to had tofu to any of the entrees which was great. We started with the Himalaya Edamame which is always yummy. i then ordered the Crazy Tuna Roll. It was delicious and the fish tasted fresh. Prices a little higher ~$25 for the roll but it was very good quality. The presentation of everything is so beautiful. Overall a really nice meal! read more

Five star service, reasonable prices, delicious food and great ambiance. This place has a really great relaxing atmosphere.

The decor is so over the top but also so much fun! Service is excellent - and they take so much care and add creative presentation to every single dish. The sushi pizza with caviar is delish and the dragon roll we had was also delish. Priced for a special occasion- but worth it. read more

Two weeks ago, my fiancé and I finally had the opportunity to visit the highly anticipated Asian restaurant everyone has been talking about--Han Tang Palace. From the moment we arrived, it was clear the excitement was well deserved. As you approach the entrance, it feels as though you're stepping into a portal to another continent. Once inside, you're immediately surrounded by exquisitely curated décor that evokes the elegance of both Japanese and Chinese design. The atmosphere is serene and captivating, with stunning artwork, ornate wood detailing, and dazzling chandeliers that create an almost enchanting ambiance. Even the restrooms continue this artistic theme, a thoughtful touch that speaks volumes about the restaurant's attention to detail. Parking is plentiful, though I imagine it fills quickly given how popular this destination already seems--and for good reason. They are also building a big patio outside that will yield more dining experience. The service was exceptional from start to finish. Every staff member was attentive and welcoming, and the owner himself made a point to visit each table and the bar, ensuring guests were satisfied and offering thoughtful recommendations. This level of personal engagement truly elevated the experience. We were seated promptly, and our waitress, Johana, greeted us with warm towels for hand cleansing--an elegant detail rarely seen at restaurants in the area and one we immediately appreciated. The menu itself is impressive and extensive, making it difficult to choose just one dish. Fortunately, Han Tang Palace offers a prix fixe option at two price points, allowing guests to select three courses--salad or soup, an appetizer, and a main entrée--from curated menus. My fiancé and I both chose the $50 prix fixe option, fully aware that finishing everything might be a challenge. For appetizers, we shared the Crispy Shrimp Tacos, which delivered an impeccable balance of flavor and texture and disappeared from the table quickly. We also enjoyed the Avocado Salad and the Homemade Shrimp & Pork Wonton Soup. Portions were generous, presentation was striking, and each dish felt like a work of art. The salad featured nearly a full avocado, beautifully arranged, while the soup was delicately aromatic and deeply comforting. Despite the abundance, we couldn't help but enjoy every bite. We also ordered two portions of Pork Fried Dumplings, assuming one order wouldn't suffice--only to discover that each plate includes six large dumplings. Even after our eating enough of it, we still had plenty to take home. When it came time to choose our main courses, we opted for kitchen specialties rather than sushi, deciding we'd save that for our next visit. I ordered the Mongolian Lamb, which arrived presented on an elevated metal platter that looked as impressive as it tasted. The lamb was perfectly tender, paired with flavorful onions that retained just the right amount of bite. The portion was so substantial that I could only manage to eat a quarter of it. My fiancé selected Tides of Passion, a beautifully plated dish featuring perfectly cooked shrimp and scallops coated in a subtly sweet sauce. Once again, the portion was more than generous, and leftovers came home with us. To conclude the evening, our waitress carefully packed our remaining dishes and returned them in an elegant branded bag adorned with Asian-inspired artwork--another thoughtful finishing touch. We can't say enough about Han Tang Palace and the proof is that while still seated at our table, I was already making plans to return with family and friends after Easter. This restaurant offers everything one could hope for: an immersive atmosphere, impeccable service that makes you feel like royalty, and exceptional cuisine that delights both the eyes and the palate. It has all the makings of a new favorite, a truly immersive dining experience :) read more

Han Tang Palace - 2 types of sushi rolls on one plate. - Chinese Near Me - Mystic, Connecticut

This place is just the exact same paling Tokyo- owned by the same person and with some fancier decor- same menu- but way more expensive for no reason and terrible service. Maybe it was because I went during the daytime and they did not feel the need to have staff. But our waitress was so so slow with everything. Prefer Peking over this. Def a trap for non asian customers read more

This is a very unexpected addition to the mystic dining scene! The menu is interesting and diverse, food is well prepared, wait staff and management are very attentive and the decor... awesome. When you step into the restaurant you definitely don't feel like you're in Connecticut any more. Really enjoyed what we tried and look forward to heading back for another meal. It is pretty pricey for the area, so be forewarned. However, when you look at the care and attention put into the presentation of the meals, it's all well worth the cost. read more

Good food. Well prepared. Service staff good as well as knowledgeable and professional. Decor appropriate to area.

Their prices are too high, their presentation is overdone with huge plates and bird cages holding lobster and tables too small to hold the theatrics. They charge $30 FOR A SMALL POT OF TEA and it tastes like hay and dirt!!! I'll never go back! read more

Downtown Mystic locals..finally got in car for the 5 minute drive and tried it!!! So glad we did. From gracious greetings to easy choice of tables ( outside under canopy on a nice eve!), warm finger towels and amazing choices on large menu we had a lovely date night! Loved that our bottle of wine was chilled & served in a saki sever ( new to us!) and unique serving pieces were used for each beautiful & delicious dish. Took home lefuover Mongolian lamb duck and rice ..they filled the container). For sure look forward to many more visits ( ez parking, too). Thank you, all! read more

Take out service was prompt. Ordered Happy Family which was advertised as Stonington scallops, sliced pork, shrimp, beef, chicken . Everything was tasty and fresh , but there was only 1 scallop..... read more

We go to Peking-Tokyo a lot and wanted to try Han Tang since the owner is the same. Outstanding ambiance, the interior must have cost him a fortune. We ordered the same as we do at P-T and the food was good just more expensive. The kicker here is that we ordered tea with our meal and was charged $20 for two cups of tea served in fancy cups! Outrageous! I didn't pick up on it till I was checking out the receipt after we left. I suppose it's my fault for not checking the menu, but c'mon, tea, $10 a cup! Now my wife is Chinese and we have eaten Chinese food here and all over the world including China and I can't remember having been charged that much for oolong tea anywhere! Maybe the tea leaves were hand-picked by descendants of the Ching Dynasty! read more

Fabulous! Great from the reservation to setbice and food. Very special place! Way to go Johnnie! read more

We were seated and had no waiter assigned to our table. The hostess was great and helped a lot with drinks. The food was over cooked shrimp and salty sushi, was too much caviar on it. We had to wait way to long for help and ended up walking to the counter to get a box to go and pay for the check. Ended up with food poisoning that night and all next day. read more

Everything went well. Food, service, but most of all the ambience. Server explained to us about everything.

Restaurant was nice, quiet and clean. Service was great and servers were friendly and quick. Presentation of food and tea was very special, food and drink higher priced than most places, smaller portions but very good and the presentation and experience makes up for the price. read more

Went last night for my daughter's birthday. Everything was delicious and we tried a lot of different rolls. Service was excellent.

what a sensational lunch!! we had their homemade pork and shrimp potstickers, so delicious. Then we had chicken in mango sauce which was served in a hollowed out mango. very tasty and beautifully presented. The hibachi scallops in brown sauce was amazing. I must say that each sauce and dish was freshly prepared. And lastly, the side salad was so fresh with the best dressing I've had in years. This is definitely a must-go place. I'll be back. read more

Huge, interesting menu with creative food offerings. Presentation of food adds to the experience. Sushi and sashimi are excellent. Chicken with mango, Tides of passion both excellent entrees. Great overall dining experience. read more

Loved the ambience and for the most part the food was good. Small portions for the price.

We were seated immediately in this intimate, Asian inspired restaurant and greeted by the most personable and upbeat server, Hannah. The restaurant is small (only 13 tables) with a full seated bar and dimly lit, which made it feel very comfortable and romantic. Hannah presented us with warm towels and water while the owner, Johnny, who also owns Peking Tokyo, served us 2 scallop, nori tacos. Incredible is an understatement for these tasty apps. We ordered the crab salad (Kani) and the peppered tuna with guacamole. I would've never ordered anything with guac, but wanted to try something different. Both were so delicious. We then ordered the Madai (Japanese Red Snapper) with Caviar and that literally was the most amazing fish I've ever had. We finished with 3 rolls, Crazy Tuna, Masons Island and the Kim and another glass of wine. The spicy tuna followed by a sip of delicious wine elevated the flavors to another level. The fish was extremely fresh and the service, impeccable. Looks like we found our new Date Night spot! read more

I can't emphasize enough what an incredible experience my friends and I had at this restaurant. The atmosphere and design was beautiful, even down to the menu. Our waitress Ava was so sweet and attentive! I ordered the Han Tang Special Roll and, after one bite, I said this is the best sushi I have ever had. All of us live out of town and we all agreed would drive over an hour just to come to this restaurant! Truly an elevated dining experience that's also warm and inviting. Excellent food and excellent service. Can't wait to come back! read more

Went to their "soft opening " . The place was packed!! Even tho the wait staff was extremely busy they handled all the people very well. Very friendly with lots of smiles. Food was very good and I look forward to returning for another meal read more

Couldn't wait to try this restaurant,was really looking forward to it. We were seated right away as we had a reservation, but we were seated next to a table of four so close that it felt like we were part of their group and the woman was wearing heavy perfume which my husband is sensitive too, which made his meal very unpleasant from the beginning ...Waitress was very nice service was efficient, but we were there at 5 PM so the restaurant was not crowded yet. My husband ordered Peking duck which he has eaten at many different restaurants for over 30 years. The Peking duck was delivered in what looked like a small coffin, but was supposed to be a treasure chest, which was so big that it hardly fit on the very small table. My husband was very annoyed that he had to open up little drawers and the box to eat his dinner so he took the whole thing apart, and we asked the waitress to take the box away. Now we come to the duck. The pancakes were so thin you could see through them and were lined with paper dividers. My husband thought the paper divider was a pancake and tried to eat the paper!! the lighting is very dark in there, and his eyesight is not the best. After finally, figuring out that each pancake was divided by paper he proceeded to eat the paper thin pancakes, which hardly stayed together being as thin as they were, and the duck was definitely not a half a duck. It was a small breast cut up there were no wing no leg so if anything it was a quarter of a duck for $35. He was very disappointed in his meal. The rest of the food was good but overpriced. I had sesame chicken with four little pieces of broccoli. That's certainly something that you don't need to spare because it is cheap enough and would have made a difference in the plate. The food tasted good and the presentation overall except for the Peking duck was very nice a little bit over the top for everything and the prices reflected this.. The food was really no better than our local Chinese restaurant, except for the presentation being nicer and the place being newer and decorated better. Would I go again? probably not. Overpriced mediocre save the theatrics for Disneyland and make the food be the star. read more

We thought the atmosphere was nice and the drinks were good, although overpriced for what you got. After ordering our drinks it took over 25 minutes to get them. The service overall was slow and then the food was just okay. The biggest issue we had was that the food received didn't match the description of the menu. A vegetarian salad came with fish eggs on it. The menu listed the ingredients of the salad and then more came on top of it than what the menu stated. They did remake it for us and it was a good salad. The same thing happened with the Han Tang cauliflower. Mushrooms were added on top when there was nothing in the menu description, and the menu even had a picture of the cauliflower and doesn't show it topped with mushrooms. The sushi was good but again, expensive. Based on the slow service and the issues with the food, I'm not sure that we'll be back. read more

Fresh like me, creative, delicious .Service was impeccable our server. Jennifer worked as if she knew what I was thinking before I did the ambience is incredibly relaxing, and all the little things were addressed subtly but totally noticeable the restaurant was recommended to me by two close friends, one who was a chef and my other friend Colin,, both know me in my eye for detail, culinary knowledge, and understanding of all flavor profiles read more

I am typically not a person who comments on experiences at restaurants. I can not hold back on commenting on our recent experience at Han Tang. From the second we arrived until we left, it was top notch! We have had the opportunity to dine in many high end Asian restaurants, around the World. Hands down, our experience at Han Tang was at the very top! Joe, our Waiter, was personable, professional and very knowledgeable. The food quality, ambiance and over all service was legendary. Do not delay, you must experience this new gem in Mystic. I can assure you that you will not be disappointed. Cheers to All at Han Tang! Shanon read more

A gorgeous place with fantastic food. The staff was lovely and service was perfect. Was so distracted by being present in the space and with the food that I forgot to take photos for the review!! It might seem a little pricy but its evident its due to the quality of the food and that the owner really invested in the ambiance. Will be going again for the fried rice alone. read more

The inside is a great setup/atmosphere. Drinks and sushi were good. The fried rice was very bland and the lo mein was way too sweet for my liking. Service was ok, nothing special. Definitely a little to pricey for what you get read more

I never write reviews of restaurants, but I have to say, this was a 5/5! The service was impeccable, food was solid, and ambiance was charming. Johnny took the time to come chat with us when we first came in and made us feel at home as he always does. The staff is very professional and provides the best service. The food was also great, we had the shumai (yummy) and sushi was wonderful! Definitely stop by here for sushi! read more
