Edwin WeeFebruary 9, 2015Authentic, spicy Sichuan food in the historic Corn Exchange Bank building: after a failed attempt in 1933, Willie Sutton came back for 2nds in 1934 & broke thru the skylight & walked away with $21K.- Lauren SmithSeptember 1, 2018Delivery through Caviar is a bit expensive but worth it for the best Szechuan in Philly. Definitely get the spicy cucumbers! They pair nicely for a crisp crunch with any entree.
Simona OzomováOctober 7, 2016Initially I was sceptic about it "being the best chinese food ever", but omg it really was! Fancy yet homely atmosphere. Dan dan noodles is their special, really recommendable experience!
Shannon KennedyApril 25, 2013Options are rated by level of spiciness; they're fair with their ratings, don't walk in with too big of an ego :-) One of the best Chinese restaurants I've been to & vegetarian friendly as well!
Shawn GlassDecember 16, 2013Food was very tasty. .I had the black beans sauce with lamb and garlic hot and spicy sauce with chicken. It doesn't matter which sauces you choose. You pick chicken, Beef, lamb or pork.
You can't go wrong with the Dan Dan noodles. I always order them and get the cold noodles in chili oil to go for later if I'm having "one of those nights."
Melisandre AnimatorAugust 26, 2016If you like spice, this is an awesome place! The pickled veggies are amazing and this is the perfect spot to go with friends and share plates.
Elliott SSeptember 2, 201310 levels of HOT - if you love spicy this place is where it's AT! Dan Dan noodles are a must. Wonton in chili oil is sweet & spicy. Crispy cucumber in chili oil also great!

Philadelphia MagazineSeptember 15, 2010Great Chinese: The menu is organized by spice, on a scale of 1 (mild) to 10 (call the fire department). Suggestions: the delicate dumplings in a chili oil bath (4), and the dan dan noodles (6). Read more
Brad GrahamFebruary 27, 2014Han Chiang’s Chinese restaurant is utterly amazing, but be prepared for the intense spices, not adjusted for American palate, that make Han’s dishes well-known. dan dan noodles. Other locations.
Angela WindsorSeptember 16, 2014The wonderful tip about this restaurant is that you can choose how HOT and SPICY you want your sauces from a 1 to 10!! The food portions are large!
Reinhold ResidentialSeptember 6, 2012A spice lover's paradise, custom order your traditional Sichuan style Chinese dishes here on a spice scale of 1-10. The Dan-dan noodles and Spicy Cucumbers are musts!
DakotaDecember 6, 2014The perfect dark spot to nurse your hangover with spicy dumplings, scallion pancakes, beef noodle soup and Dan Dan noodles.
Lindsey SkolnickJanuary 28, 2014Great spot for group dinners. Do the chefs tasting menu. Reminder, it's no longer a BYOB.
Dan Dan Noodles are really great. Nice to stop in for a bowl a couple beers to pregame your old city night out.
Len GilmerSeptember 3, 2013Food is great, family style and served fresh out of the kitchen. Spicy cucumbers, Dan Dan noodles are all really goo apps.
Dry pepper chicken was delicious; intensely spicy, I enjoyed the different flavors. Also, entrees are 60% off during weekday lunch (11a-3p)
Mariana DSeptember 16, 2011The best chinese food I can eat anymore. Never a bad meal here! Sesame beef, salt and pepper shrimp, sesame noodles, dumplings! Everything is awesome.
Dan Dan noodles are as good as everyone says. Compliment those with spicy cucumber and pork belly.
Jake SmithAugust 26, 2015The pork fried rice is best when ordered with approximately 4-6 on the special Han Dynasty heat index.
Kavitha SagiApril 11, 2012The dry pot lamb is so freaking amazing! Good enough for 2 n even a tad too spicy for my Indian palate, but loved it!
The Dan Dan noodles are nothing but amazing. It's totally worth the awkward sweating and chugging water while trying to eat them.
MarissaMay 20, 2011Great meal! I recommend the double cooked pork belly and the dan dan noodles. The food is spicy, but it's a good spicy, spicy done right.
Abhinav SrivastavaApril 7, 2013Hands down the best Chinese I've ever had. Try the dumpling in chili oil and the dan dan noodles
C OwensJuly 21, 2017I tried tofu (with garlic sauce, no peppers) for the first time and it was amaaaaaazzinggg!
The best, most authentic Chinese food I've ever had. Ask for recommendations, and if you like spicy, try the Fish Pot.
Dan dan noodles, spicy crispy cucumbers, double-cooked fish and pea leaves. Best meal ever.
Brendan MJanuary 27, 2016It's hard to mess up an order here but Dan Dan noodles are a great place to start
Huajia YuAugust 4, 2012Try the Kong Pao Chicken - spicy and savory...the texture of the Chicken is amazing!!!- HalalfoodcriticDecember 11, 2013Get the dan dan noodles minus the pork and be careful of spice level
Anthony MastrobuonoMay 9, 2013Really fast, and they were pretty busy, definitely would go back here, enjoy!
Brian WittOctober 15, 2013New location is beautiful! Nice to know a successful restaurant is utilizing this elegant space.
Must have the Dan Dan noodles and pork belly in garlic. If you can handle really spicy then do a Hot pot.
jazApril 7, 2013Good spicy food, service leaves a lot to be desired but I'll come back. Don't ask any questions about the menu, they look at you like you're an idiot.
- Dumplings in chili oil, hot sauce style fish, double cooked fish.👌
Barry WernerJuly 3, 2011OMG. The very best and spiciest Asian food I have ever eaten. If in Philly you MUST eat here!!!!
Han is the best! Order the tea smoked duck! It's off the menu!!
