Han Dynasty Brooklyn

Han Dynasty was a great quality start to my winter visit in NYC! The space was intimate, comfortable, and spacious - even with it being located within a food hall! Service here was similarly excellent in terms of being very prompt, efficient, and friendly! Having traveled across the country for most of the day, both of us ordered (probably) more than was necessary - nevertheless, everything was absolutely EXCELLENT! My feelings on every food dish: Wonton in Chicken Broth - perfect heat and delicious texture/flavor Hot Sauce Style Entree - just the right amount of heat, flavor, and absolutely delicious Scallion Pancake - arguably the most disappointing plate of the evening..but still very solid quality. Just a little dry. If I'm being honest, I am not fully sure of everything we ordered (it was a lot, we were hungry!!), but I DO KNOW that we loved everything we had while patrons of this establishment! Oh yeah - AND they give you a complimentary pot of tea for the table, which I found to be a lovely touch! Unsurprisingly, I highly recommend giving it a try!

Solid Chinese food for a fair price and in a cozy spot beneath the mall. Came here on a busy Friday evening and was able to get a table right away. The food came out quickly and everything was delicious. If you’re looking for no frills and good food, this is your spot! Would definitely come back to try out other options in the future.

Han Dynasty at DeKalb Market Hall made for a convenient late supper after a movie, but the experience was uneven, with several dishes falling short of their traditional flavor profiles. We began with the wontons in chili oil, a classic Sichuan appetizer rooted in Chengdu street food culture. Traditionally, the dish balances málà the numbing warmth of Sichuan peppercorns and the layered heat of chili oil. In this case, the wontons were small, noticeably overpriced, and coated in a sauce that leaned more sweet and salty than authentically spicy. Despite the generous amount of chili oil, the expected heat and numbing sensation were missing, leaving the dish oily rather than vibrant. The Westlake beef soup was a steadier offering. This Cantonese origin broth, named after West Lake in Hangzhou, is known for its delicate texture created by minced beef, egg ribbons, and a lightly thickened, silky base. The version served here stayed true to that simplicity clean and comforting, even if not particularly memorable. The salt and pepper scallops, served with rice, were the most disappointing plate. Salt and pepper dishes (jiao yan) are a hallmark of Cantonese cooking, celebrated for their crisp fry and harmony of salt, white pepper, and aromatics. Although the presentation here was impressive, the seasoning was not. The dominant and almost only flavor was pepper. There was virtually no salt, leaving the scallops bland and tasting mostly of fry oil rather than the bright, savory punch this dish is meant to deliver. Portions overall felt small, which led us to add chicken potstickers. These, too, were overpriced for their size and lacked the juicy, savory filling that defines a good dumpling. One thoughtful touch was the complimentary water and hot tea, which added a sense of hospitality to the meal. While the setting is convenient and a few items offered comfort, several dishes missed the traditional balance and depth they’re meant to showcase. With so many strong vendors in DeKalb Market Hall, greater consistency and attention to seasoning would significantly elevate the dining experience.

Just got off a long commute from Jersey and was starving. This was recommended by the hotel receptionist since it was one of the few places open late. Just a 5 minute walk and it was inside a shopping center. Thankfully I ordered online so I didn’t have to wait when I arrived and there was a small line of people waiting. I didn’t have super high expectations for the quality of food that late but surprisingly it was all quite good. The dumplings were delicious! The sauce had a perfect amount of spiciness and the chicken fried rice was a good portion. It was a touch dry but the extra chili sauce they gave me helped and it had at least a good flavor. I would recommend this as a good late night spot in Brooklyn if you’ve got a hankering for Chinese food!

UNSATISFACTORY SERVICE It’s sad that I have to make a bad review on a place that I always order from and love their Shrimp Fried Rice and Kung Pao Shrimp dish!! I never ate in the actual restaurant so I cannot speak on behalf of how it is dining in, but I always uber eats it or order for pickup. It’s a very nice spot to order at night specifically because they stay open late, and today I went to order in person for pickup. First things first is that I greeted the cashier (a new cashier that I’ve never seen before) with a cheerful energy and I got no response, and he was standing right there so there was no possible way he didn’t, but I brushed it off because I didn’t think too much into it, I just figured he was having a bad day. I finally ordered everything listed on the receipt in the picture. I ordered one Kung Pao Shrimp with no bell peppers and no onions (this meal comes with rice), one Shrimp Fried Rice extra spicy, one Lychee Tea with extra ice, and one Mango Tea with no ice. Yes, I gave lots of extra directions, but as you see on the receipt, he typed every single special request. My boyfriend and I received our drinks first before the meal and my Lychee Tea barely had any ice, my boyfriend’s Mango Tea was not filled but I figured for his tea it was due to the fact that usually ice would fill it. For my tea I specifically asked for extra ice so I was definitely disappointed with that because I’m anemic and I love crunching on ice when I drink anything. My boyfriend had to ask for a cup of ice due to the lack of following instructions and yes the person did give the ice cup for free which I appreciate, but when my boyfriend came back to me he mentioned how the guy was distracted and on FaceTime with someone. So that’s when I figured he just wasn’t paying attention as a whole. Anyways, we finally got home and opened everything and the pictures shown is how everything looked. First off, I did not get any rice with the Kung Pao Shrimp, I’m not sure if he thought that I was replacing the regular rice with fried rice, but if he did, that’s something that you ask the customer, I work in customer service so trust me I know. I couldn’t even eat it without the rice because it’s not a meal you eat by itself so I had to stay hungry and put in in my fridge so I can get or make some rice tomorrow. I paid a lot over $26 for just Kung Pao just to get no rice. The second thing is that my boyfriend opened his Shrimp Fried Rice and seen that it was bland with no chili oil or anything. We noticed that there was an extra chili oil before hand and figured that it was complimentary especially since we have a decent tip but nooo they wanted us to add the chili oil ourselves. They have NEVER done something like that before whenever we ordered food so I was confused on why they did this now, especially paying the amount that we did. I will say that their food is a little pricey but I always made the sacrifice due to how good it was, but this turned me off so muchhh from them. I loved how consistent they always were and how they valued their customers requests, but everything about the experience today makes me not want to order from them again due to the fact that everything was building up. From the service, to the food, like it was definitely a turn off. I will say that they did listen to my request for the Kung Pao and I appreciate them for that, but everything else was terrible even my boyfriend said that the Fried Rice wasn’t sitting right in his stomach and he normally gets that dish so something is definitely going on and Han Dynasty, I request that you fix it because we love your food and do not want an experience like this again!!!

Hidden gem. More authentic Szechuan style foods than it initially seems - fast and friendly service. Good atmosphere. We loved the fish dry pot, stir fry pea shoots, the spicy pork belly appetizer.

I was walking around Downtown today and I saw this place on Google Maps. I took it upon myself to give this place a try. When I entered I was greeted and seated by a young lady. The place looks very nice. Everything is clean. After 3 minutes, my order was taken by a young man. I ordered scallion beef with a side of white rice and chicken dumplings in chili oil. The chicken dumplings come in 4. I loved the flavor so much. The chili oil wasn’t too spicy. The dumplings were perfect and soft. I never really had dumplings before, but this is something that I would try again. I give that a 8.5/10. However, I didn’t really enjoy the scallion beef. The scallion and onions was overpowering the meal, but the beef was tender and quite flavorful. I give it a 6/10. Something was missing there. I tried to add soy sauce and duck sauce to see what could be different but idk it just wasn’t for me. I couldn’t even finish it😭The white rice was perfect though. Fluffy to my liking. The customer service is amazing. They’re quick, swift and are glad to answer questions. One of them even helped me to use a chopstick. Honestly it was the only meal I had that day, so I can’t really judge but they could definitely do better and add more kinds of food to the menu. I feel like I wasted money though. $40 for one meal and 4 dumplings?!😐😐Do I recommend? Not really, but if you could try one thing is the dumplings in chili oil; that I recommend.

Oldest child and son in-law treated us to lunch. Food was delicious but price was higher than I expected. Nevertheless the staff was fantastic and food (13 dishes) came in a timely manner. We ordered dumplings, beef, fish, deep fried shrimps, general Han chicken, Dan-Dan noodles, egg plants, pea shoot tips. Every dish was well made. Overall a great experience and all 8 of us left with a great feeling.

I didn't order any entrees. I ordered chicken and shrimp dumplings, and they were so good they were different from other dumplings I've had. They tasted really fresh and very light. They were so good I ordered another one. Their spring rolls were good but not my favorite. The decor was very pretty. I've had better. Their drinks were good, and our waitress was very polite and attentive. You can find Han Dynasty at the DeKalb Market Hall it is located below target.

Can a really good Chinese restaurant exist in a food hall? Does lines out the door mean they serve delicious food? I have asked this question every time I glided down the escalator at Citipoint on my way to Trader Joe's. Then I went in Han Dynasty's website and read the following: 'Our Brooklyn location offers a full bar, space for up to 80 guests, and features a hip hop vibe amongst local artwork and comfy booths, banquets, and the best Sichuan fare in Brooklyn. ' Today I was, you guessed it, on my way to Trader Joe's and decided to check this Dynasty out. I reviewed the menu and saw they offered my fave, Dan Dan Noodles. I entered @1:30 and the place was slightly busy. I didn't want to wait for a table thus opted for bar seating. I was taking the scene in: large party of 12 to my right, large party of 6 to my left and another diner at the bar. The kind waitress took my order, placed my chopsticks, plate and utensils ( see folks, that's the way it should be done, don't ask, bring my chopsticks, love that! ) down and iced water with lemon arrived. First impressions, wow! I picked up my chopsticks and then my server was mixing my Dan Dan noodles in a wok like bowl ( love that part two). I then started to twirl my noodles and voila! that first taste: yummmmmm! Just the right amount of chili oil and sesame paste and oodles of noodles. Downright delicious! Sitting at the lovely bar was also delightful and decided the next time I come I will be tasting one of their cocktails. HD offers lunch specials starting at $12.95 and a variety of Sichuan staples such as Mongolian Beef, dumplings, fried rice varieties and a Happy Hour weekdays from 4-7pm. Han Dynasty is a perfect addition to the Dekalb Food Hall and is adjacent to Trader Joe's.

This location at first looks like gentrified asian szechuan but pleasantly surprised when the food came out. Service was impeccable like American establishments. Priced on the higher side but fair given the location. Setting is great. Decor is pretty. Suitable for date nights. Food is flavorful. Spicy af in the best way. They stuck to traditional Szechuan ingredients and these dishes hit so damn well. If you're looking for some good szechuan in the downtown bk area, drop by this mall spot and get your trader joes shopping done right after!

Came here after work and happened to get there just in time to catch the lunch special which was $19.90 for lunch entrees + one cold app + one hot app. I selected the Salt & Pepper Shrimp which was great. I've never had it, so I didn't know what to expect. It was pretty tasty, but I still added their chili oil and some soy sauce which kicked the flavor profile up a notch. The spicy cucumber was pretty meh, and the veggie fried dumplings were good. What was even better was my server - she was super attentive and really pleasant. Good eats, good service, good ambiance... I'll be back again for lunch.

Absolutely enjoyed our take out! Plentiful meals that lasted us for days lol! My personal favorite was the salt & pepper shrimp. Those shrimp are HUGE, and you get so many!!! Will definitely order again.

After a busy evening moving throughout the holiday crowd of Manhattan, we came back to Brooklyn to have dinner in Dekalb Market Hall located conveniently in the mall formerly know as Albee Square Mall. I love this venue, Downtown Brooklyn is almost 15 minutes from Manhattan by train. I thought we would have to wait for a table but surprisingly we were seated quickly by an extremely courteous and friendly staff. I ordered appetizers Wonton in Chili Oil spicy chili sauce with black vinegar, topped with scallions they were served quickly and hot. I enjoyed dinner, Ginger Shredded Duck, stir-fried with bell peppers, bamboo, ginger, and scallions with brown rice. I love spice so I added Hot Mustard. We sipped Dynasty Margaritas (get Mango) with top shelf tequila, chili liquor, lime, lemon, agave....Which was splendid, strong, and highly recommended. It was a busy night but holiday vibes, drinks, excellent customer service, and Christmas songs kept the atmosphere flowing.

Nothing exceptional, but decently authentic. The chicken dry pot had a hefty portion of chicken and several juicy shiitake mushrooms (my love), but wasn't spicy at all despite being the spiciest menu item. They also skimped on the vegetables. The West Lake beef soup was tasty (but mostly because of the obligatory MSG). The rice, however, was absolutely disgraceful. It was dry, hard, and absolutely inedible. The service was also a bit slow, but not terribly so. There was complementary tea and they were able to split the bill by menu item.

At the Dekalb Market Food Hall bear Trader joe's --- surprisingly not a long wait for a party of 6 @1:15pm.... Their lunch specials had something for everyone - tried the eggplant and the salt and pepper shrimp - both were very flavorful and the eggplant was seared just right... would definitely return!!!

After a long wait at the airport and having our flight canceled, we ended up back in Downtown Brooklyn for more night. We decided to take a walk and found the food hall and came across Han Dynasty. Wow!! The service was amazing, our server Laura, took the time to explain the most famous items on the menu along with her personal favorites. Our food came out quickly and was filled with flavor. The restaurant noise level was decent allowing you to have a conversation but also enjoy the live music playing just outside in the main hall.

Great service, fantastic food, delicious drinks! The hot sauce with fried tofu was AMAZING. The chili oil and garlic were just what we needed.

Han Dynasty is great for dinner. My family and I shared several dishes. I really enjoyed the scallion beef however my sister-in-law, who has dined here before, mentioned that they seemed to really skimp on the beef portion and went heavy on the scallions. My favorite dish was the 3 cup chicken. The chicken was slightly crispy on the outside and tender and juicy in the inside. The sauce that coated the chicken was pleasantly sweet, slightly salty, and sticky. I used the extra sauce at the bottom of the serving dish to drizzle over rice. We also shared fried rice which I felt was nothing really special. It could have used more sauce soy sauce and/or salt. Overall Han Dynasty was a great dining experience. Service was fast and friendly. Also, the music they were playing was 90s hip hop/rap and it was awesome!

Pretty good food, relatively typical options. Dan Dan noodles were best, with great amount of heat. Lo mein was extra oily. Tofu was done very well. Scallion pancakes were good, but a bit too oily without enough crisp so they were slightly too chewy and gummy. A good portion of the dumplings were falling apart, but this is likely due to how it was packed up to go, which is hard to get right so can't complain. Overall was ok and on par with other local places, wouldn't feel the need to go out of the way to get it again but certainly worth trying.

One of my favorite spots when I'm craving Sichuan food (which happens a lot). We generally order delivery from this location since it's the closest one to us but have dined in once as well. For dine-in, though it's located in Dekalb Market, they have a proper, fairly large dining area and is definitely a bustling spot. Service was pretty good overall. Now, on to the food: Our favorites include their Dry Pot Fish, Hot Sauce Style (have had both fish and shrimp), Garlic Sauce Shrimp (really good!), Dan Dan Noodles (no meat), and Fried Rice. All of this seriously hits the spot every time! My only couple downsides are that it can get a little loud inside and that it's a bit pricey (although similar to other Sichuan restaurants). Regardless, this would be a great place to bring someone from out of town! Overall, if you're looking for good Sichuan food and you're near one of many Han Dynasty locations, I promise you'll be more than satisfied!

If you have a chance to come here on the first Tuesday 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!

Han Dynasty = one of my favorite hot pot restaurants in NYC! Last week I tried the spicy chicken hot pot - even better than the dry version. The spice level was perfect.

We were able to seated right away (table for 2) and our waiter quickly brought us waters. I took a little while to decide what I wanted, but I did feel he waited a little too long to come back in and check on us. That generally ended up being my biggest issue; the servers didn't come around often enough. We waited quite a while till we could stop one of them to ask for the bill. The food itself is of very good portions and I really enjoyed the cumin chicken. The chicken itself was some of the softest* I've ever had and the vegetables added the necessary crunch. It was a really good textural experience. In summary, servers could be better but food came out quickly and was very delicious!

I hate to leave negative reviews but I couldn't not mention this. When I picked up my lunch order of fried dumplings today, the bag was so light I thought someone had mistakenly packed an empty container. The dumplings were extremely skimpy. Nearly all dough and hardly any filling. And tiny!! I definitely still felt hungry.

I love Szechuan cuisine and Han Dynasty is where it's at! The spicy crispy fish and the chili fish oil was so good. Perfect to pair with white rice. Service was great and very fast which was good since we were starving! it's a cute set up inside of Dekalb Market Hall right next to trader joe's. This is perfect for lunch/dinner or if you want to grab a quick bite. The dishes we got were full of flavor. I've tried other locations before but this one in Brooklyn is by far the best in my opinion! Definitely worth a visit.

The food is good, large portions. The service was absolutely amazing, the waiter made sure all questions were answered and was so sweet. The space is clean, full bar, and can be casual or can be for a dressy date.

I know people shit on Han Dynasty, but I think it's great! Price is good; bigger portions; don't have to pay for tea or rice; know what you're gonna get. This was my first time at this location, but it's all pretty standard so no big surprises. We ordered the eggplant, snow pea leaves, and double cooked fish, and it was exactly what I was expecting / hoping for: eggplant a little sweet, fish nicely crisped, and snow pea leaves fresh and lightly sautéed. My husband and I just moved into the area and I'm sure we'll be back in the near future!

The way I became obsessed with their beef noodle dish is ridiculous. The broth was so perfect! The food is also very well priced. The location is perfect because there are so many options in the food court and a Trader Joes to grocery shop is needed. Its also opened later than many establishments in the area.

Super mid. The dumplings and atmosphere/location was pleasant and trendy with a lot to do around, but that was it. The food felt and tasted fake. Like something out of the frozen section in a grocery store. The service was a 0 out of 10 also in terms of our waitress. We saw her twice, and one of those times was due to us having to ask for her. Never checked on anything. Barely interacted with us at all. Not friendly or warm whatsoever we barely even got greeted. The cleaning team was on top of their stuff though. Working their butt off going from table to table as fast as possible. A+ for them but overall I definitely wouldn't come back here. Which is disappointing because I love this kind of food and I'm known to frequent places like this. What a shame.

I came in for a bite and a seat at the bar. The bartender was kind, hostess was kind... servers... all kind! No complaints with the service here at all. My issue was that the Double cooked pork belly dish. I understand that pork belly is literally bacon but traditional pork belly isn't going to be thin sliced breakfast bacon. I anticipated that it would be actual thick cut pork belly and it wasn't. I got the dumplings in chili oil and they were SOOOOO good. Just top of the notch dumplings that were tender, flavorful and the sauce was amazing! My only issue was the thin sliced bacon. So frustrating. Just be aware. It's not something stated in the menu. Boooo!

Ahhh, Han Dynasty. The space is the one of two full fledge restaurant concepts inside DeKalb market. It's the same menu as the Han Dynasty we all know and love in the East Village. Not everything on the menu here is my favorite, but I will say, one of my favorite things I've ever eaten is from this restaurant. The eggplant and garlic sauce is truly remarkable. I love eggplant in general, it's one of my favorite vegetables. But the garlic sauce... It's kind of like drugs. And I'm fully addicted. It's the most remarkable flavor combination. My favorite thing to do is get an order of the garlic eggplant to go, and fry myself an egg at home. Other menu highlights, the cucumber salad, the pork and string beans, and some dry pot options. Pro tip, the takeout window is separate from the restaurant entrance!

Got terribly sick during my trip to nyc over TG weekend and obviously needed wonton soup to cure me. This place hit the spot! To be fair, I might've just been hella hungry after not being able to eat anything for a couple days, but the wontons were delicious and the broth was super light. I added chili oil to the broth and it was even better. Also ordered the dry Salt & Pepper Shrimp lunch special and I especially appreciated the amount of pepper they used since I couldn't really taste anything. Complimentary tea, good service!

It was very good and fast! Very unique dishes the spicy mug bean with black bean was terrific

I'm always down for some good American Chinese food. We had such a great time at this place and took full advantage of the happy hour specials for both drinks and apps YUM! I loved the fried rice the buns were my favorite gosh so much delicious food. My dish was spicy and while I love heat this dish was a little too hot for me. Still delicious but very spicy. You may want to ask if they can dial it down a little.

I absolutely loved the Chili Oil Dumplings! I got it again and it was still amazing! The Dry Pepper Chicken Wings and Double Cooked Style Fish were also really good. The Garlic Sauce Style Shrimp was not great. Customer Service was a 10! I loved that the staff worked together to make sure everyone was taken care of

Great food love the sautéed green beans always cooked to perfection and great flavor.

Well we ordered a lot of food. The waiter even asked us if we were sure, we were. Spicy cabbage was excellent! As we're string beans. Don't worry there's more. Cold sesame noodles were point on. Spicy crispy cucumber totally delicious. Fried dumplings were nice, but nothing special, fried rice was also just good. Double cooked pork was really great. The pancakes are the only item that I thought was pedestrian. Service was extremely professional, un obtrusive. This place was hopping in and outside of the restaurant. It's a great spot to bring a date! I'll have to remember that next time I meet someone to date

I would say @handynastynyc is a safe choice if you're craving for Sichuan cuisine. It's not particularly yummy but every dish is fairly solid. The service was also pretty great. I'm glad the Brooklyn location is so close to me so I can visit easily!

Celebrating my birthday with family at Han dynasty! Beautiful people and lovely environment! The appetizers are tasty! Service is on point! I'm here a lot with family because we like it here!

3.5 stars bc of their options and their late hours my late night order consisted of scallion pancakes and the pork baos. scallion pancakes didn't taste like much so ya gotta douse it with the delectable sauce that comes with it. the baos were slightly better but the bao itself could've been softer. i commend the fresh herbs, soft pork belly, slightly sweet crushed peanuts, and the mustard greens! (kudos to the cool neon sign too!!)

I love spicy food. Order from lunch menu. For the price of it, portion is very small. I ordered the dry pot pork, which is spicy level is 10/10. Oh boi when they said 10/10. It was really spicy. I love spicy food. But that was kind spicy for me.. Lol, next time when I order, maybe look for something 8/10 or less so I can enjoy it more. When you eat really spicy food, you don't taste anything. All you taste is spicy after two bites.

Han dynasty is a must-visit for anyone seeking an authentic Sichuan culinary adventure. The combination of bold flavors, inviting ambiance, and attentive service creates an unforgettable dining experience.The menu offers a range of spice levels, allowing diners to customize their heat preferences. From mild to super spicy, Every dish on the menu boasts bold and vibrant flavors that capture the essence of authentic Sichuan cooking. The bartender's (Martin) knowledge of the menu was impressive, and they were more than happy to guide me through the options, making recommendations based on my preferences.

Third Tuesday of the month you can make a reservation for the Tasting Menu. This is my first time going to this location & the tasting menu but I have not been to other locations yet. Staff was great. Very friendly and food was fanatastic. Some dishes better than others. Communal tables which I did not love that at first but my group was so great I would totally meet up with them again. I loved the Dan Dan (spicy!!) the last time I was there but the parking is crazy!!! Train is nearby but the area can be a little sus at night. Still, I will return!!

I'll admit I first tried Han Dynasty only because it's the taste place that's open past midnight, but wow, it really exceeded our expectations. It's rare to find a restaurant that produces authentic Sichuan food AND also has a good selection of green vegetables, AND isn't overly greasy. Han Dynasty delivers all three. Plus if anybody in your party can't handle spicy food, that's no problem either. They'll adjust to your desired spice level, even if that level is zero -- and the food will still be flavorful (looking for an interesting dish that's mild? I recommend the delicious scallion lamb).

After a day of touring the city, two moms were in search of a restaurant for a late lunch before our children became hangry. We were seated just minutes before the lunch special ends at 3 pm. The tables were set with dinnerware and green tea. Thankfully, for someone like me who has not yet mastered chopsticks (available in adult and children sizes), there were alternative cutlery options. Although there was no kids menu, we were able to identify a few options, which we ate family-style. I'm talking fried rice with egg, vegetable + chicken dumplings, fried chicken wings, and beef lo mein. I had the Kung Pao Chicken, which was sweet/sour/spicy. Mmmm... Everything was so good. I loved the decor and ambiance of the restaurant, especially the round tables and artwork. Let's not forget the attentive and friendly service! Bookmarked for future reference.

My friend and I dropped by this BK location for Han Dyanasty on a Friday night. The wait was really short (10 minutes) compared to the normal Manhattan wait times. We enjoyed a fantastic meal, because the restaurant had a ton of open spots, we were able to stay and chat for a long period of time which we appreciated! If you are looking for really spicy Szechuan food, maybe look elsewhere. Han Dynasty is a great tasty modern Szechuan spot but is a little more tame on the spice. I expected myself to be crying after ordering one of their spiciest dishes - the dry pot, but that wasn't the case. We got: Dan dan noodles (6/10 spice level) - got this appetizer and ate it like an entree. It was tasty with its chili/peanut sauce. I do wonder if they could have added more sauce to up the spiciness Eggplant w/ garlic sauce (3/10 spice) - a classic executed with lots of flavor and a great pairing to our noodles and the bowl of rice the dish came with Dry pot w/ fish (10/10 spice) - the fish is really good! I think the spice level was definitely tame for their spiciest level, but I was happy with it being tamer and not needing some milk based drink to quench the spice. Dry pepper chicken wings (8/10 spice) - the skin on the wing was super crispy and freshly deep fried - a tasty appetizer Overall, Han Dynasty is a great spot for a chill meal with some spice. It might not be spicy enough for some Szechuan aficionados out there. They also have great inside decor and serve your meal with free hot tea and water.

The Han Dynasty was known to be one of the golden ages in Chinese civilization history. That said, it is hard to say if this restaurant reaches to those heights. The food is rather authentic to traditional Chinese flavours but the ambience and style of the overall restaurant and concept screams fusion. Food: 3.5/5 Ambience: n/a we did take out Service: n/a we did take Here's what we got! 1) Eggplant with garlic sauce: holds heat well, pairs extremely well with rice! If you can't finish, it holds up well for a day or two 2) long pepper with beef: has a pinch of spice and also pairs well with rice, like the eggplant dish, has good reheat value 3) three cup chicken: this traditional dish by flavour should be a bit crisp, this restaurant has the sauce down but the crisp takes away from it and makes it a tad bit dry Given the lack of many good authentic local Chinese that do this sort of regional cuisine, if you are in the local area and you need a bite of Chinese, this is a place for you. Otherwise, if you are willing to travel, there are a couple other ones that should be on your radar! I.e in flushing or across the bridge to Manhattan Either way, food is standard and we'd be back given its proximity!

To tell you the truth I found Han dynasty to be rather mid. Although I love the decor I expected to feel nostalgic or reminded of Chinese restaurants from the past . The server was very cool and casual. It was mid day and I was able to have the lunch special. I ordered the dry pepper chicken wings and chicken with chili oil. I am willing to give it another try. I will probably sit at the bar or come with friends. The food was just ok.

Having another great dish at Hans. Vibe is good. Service is ok, some drinks are over priced but it it's a good spot.

So I had a poor experience from start to finish. When my girlfriend and I arrived the hostess simply just looked at us and pointed at the table to sit down at and didn't walk us over to the table. Once we sat down there was no "hi or hello" or sharing what their name was. They took our drink orders and then our appetizers. The lemonade tasted like water. We had a DIFFERENT server take our food order (so the original server I guess decided not to wait on us anymore? Even though the restaurant didn't have too many people in it at all). Our food came pretty fast out of the kitchen so that was great. My girlfriend had the Braised beef soup, it was a solid 7/10. I had the Lo-Mein and it was okay a solid 6/10. BUT during the ENTIRE time we were eating no one came and checked in on us to see how the food was or if we needed anything. The initial waitress we had along with the waitress that took our order were just standing near the POS system near the kitchen and were just looking as we ate. The energy and vibe was off from the time we got to the door. We didn't feel welcomed , more if we were just there and they were going to serve us the food so we can eat and leave. The only time when we were checked on was when it was time for the check. The waitress stood over my girlfriend as she was paying on the mobile POS card reader and watched as she was giving the tip as well. (No it wasn't a good tip, as the service was horrible and extremely un-inviting). Safe to say we won't be going back and not because the food was bad (because it wasn't it was OKAY 6/7 out of 10) but service was HORRIBLE point blank period.

I came here with 3 friends and we all had a great time here! It's definitely overpriced for what you get, but we enjoyed the food, drinks, and atmosphere. The service was amazing too! Our waiter was fantastic. The restaurant is located in the basement of a mall and there are other cute food vendors to check out around the restaurant as well. I would definitely come back! Just be wary that it is expensive, but worth it for a nice dinner!

PRO: · Open late CON: · Food portions small for price · Expensive IMPRESSION: · I usually skip out on them and buy TJ's orange chicken next door if I am craving Chinese-food.

Exceptionally good Szechuan dinner that I tried for the first time over the weekend. I used to bump into it on my way to Trader Joe's since Han Dynasty is located in the DeKalb Food Hall. In fact, I placed it on my must try list. Indeed, I tried it and loved it! I adore Asian cuisine particularly--Chinese--the food, the Dim Sum, the tea, etc. etc. You get the point. Trying to find an authentic Chinese restaurant can be challenging at times. I'm not talking about the American Chinese with all the pictures posted above the counter. Nah. I'm talking about quality Chinese and Szechuan is one of my favorite styles. Asian/Chinese food incorporates a lot of pork in their dishes which I do not eat, but Han Dynasty had a lot to offer in terms of menu selections. In fact, ordering (via Cavier) was unique. You have to select the category of the dish, such as Garlic, Scallion, Salt & Pepper and then build it (protein, additional vegetables, etc.). On this occasion, the order was as follows: *Vegetable spring rolls. Do not recommend. Perhaps, the texture lost its integrity during the delivery, but these were a soggy, thick dough mess. We threw most of it away (2 rolls for $4.95). *Chicken with Scallion and Chicken with Garlic. Both were equally good. Equally salty (my only nit pick) and flavorful. Their prices were on the higher end but the portions were generous. I would recommend both. White rice included. Trying to keep it as healthy (if that exists) as possible, I called the restaurant in advance to avoid any surprises of deep fried prepared selections. The person informed me that the Salt & Pepper and the Dry Pot were prepared by deep frying the protein. For me, it's a pass. *Shrimp Rice Noodles. Delicious. Thin strands of noodles loaded with shrimp, egg, onions, peas and more. Recommend. Overall, I really enjoyed my first time experience with Han Dynasty since I have been wanting to try it for the longest time. I wish the dishes were prepared with less or little salt/MSG, but maybe that's something I can request next time. Their excellent food satisfied my Chinese cuisine craving. Will definitely return.

This is probably my favorite chinese food restaurant every 3rd or 4th and sometimes 8th time I order. I wish it were every time, but the inconsistency of how the same dish is prepared leaves you wondering which one you are going to get. I don't know if it is different chefs, different ingredients, or different prior evening drinking habits, but if you order a dish 7 days out of the week, you are going to get 8 different tasting dishes. Sometimes I think of telling the restaurant, but what if they listen and I never get the most amazing tasting dish again and it is just the same meh dish that has dropped a star off my review?

I went to Han Dynasty to order takeout, honestly not expecting much since I usually get food there. However, I HAD to ask for my cashier's name. Jose was amazing. He took good care of us, and thanks to him I got out of my comfort zone and tried the Hans Chicken which I believe is a new dish. A new favorite of mine. He made sure we didn't have any allergies, went through the menu with some family members who ate there for the first time... It was just wonderful service. You don't find that often anymore. If I could give more stars, I would! Well done guys.

Really loved this place but today I picked up take out on my way home and found a short piece of hair in my cumin beef

Let's talk Han Dynasty for real ! Han dynasty has been so rewarding since the pandemic ended! I've been a regular since February 2022 and never been treated like nothing besides family. Han Dynasty is such a dope atmosphere for a family and/or individual. Han dynasty has created such a safe atmosphere amongst all their patrons. Martin, Eddie,Dan, ,Xavier and anyone else that has worked behind the bar has serviced any request. What I appreciate about Han Dynasty is how their unique staff is able to meet you where you're at and service all needs. The food and drinks is what keeps me coming back. They have A1 service and pay attention to all PATRONS. Based off my experience in Brooklyn I would have no problem venturing off to their other locations. I would 10/10 recommend them anytime and encourage any one new in the city to place HAN DYNASTY in BK as a #1 spot. Their so attentive and on point with their guest that you would never experience anything less ! Just tell them Christina #1 customer sent you
