About Han Dynasty - Old City
Authentic Sichuan Restaurant
Han Dynasty - Old City is a chinese restaurant in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. It is listed at 110 Chestnut St, Philadelphia, PA 19106, which places it among the local businesses of Philadelphia that residents and visitors turn to when they need this kind of service close by.
In cities with a Chinatown, weekend mornings bring dim sum carts or order sheets, and lines form early at the most popular spots in Philadelphia; walk-ins are standard and reservations are uncommon outside large banquet restaurants. Regional labels matter: Cantonese, Sichuan, Hunan, Shanghainese and Taiwanese kitchens cook very differently, so a restaurant's stated region is a better guide to the food than the word "Chinese" alone. Some smaller restaurants in Pennsylvania are BYOB with no corkage fee; call ahead to confirm. A tip of 15-20% is customary for table service but not expected at counter-order takeout. Spice level, MSG and allergen questions are normal to ask before ordering, and most kitchens are happy to leave an ingredient out or tone down the heat if you mention it when ordering rather than after the food arrives.
Hours are published for 7 days a week. On most of those days it is open 12β9:30 pm. Hours in the United States do change around federal holidays and long weekends, so a quick call before a special trip is sensible. The listed phone number is (215) 922-1888. Many businesses also reply to text messages on the same number if it is a cell phone. More information is available on its website, handynasty.net.
Customers rate it 4.4 out of 5 on Google across 1,541 reviews, placing it among the better-regarded chinese restaurants in Philadelphia.
Philadelphia is in Pennsylvania, in the Northeast, where four distinct seasons shape local life: hot humid summers, snowy winters that can close businesses for a day, and a dense pattern of towns where walking, transit and street parking all matter. Getting around Philadelphia is easiest by car; street parking is metered in busy downtown areas, and most suburban businesses have their own lot. Ride-share apps such as Uber and Lyft operate across Pennsylvania's larger cities, and public transit varies from extensive to minimal.

Great food, great music and very sweet and funny staff. The atmosphere is great and like I said there is great music. The service is incredibly fast and they even let us in right before closing. Definitely recommend, also in a fun part of the city next to the water.

A great surprise. My son and I were looking for a place to have lunch before the World Cup game we were going to watch in PHL. And we stumbled upon this restaurant, which exceeded all our expectations. They seated us right away, and the prices were very reasonable. The food tasted excellent! A great option for tourists, but also for locals

Went here and was excited to try their Dan Dan noodles. Ended up getting that and the fried green beans. The atmosphere was great, there were just two things I wasn't a fan of. The food was cooked very well, but it had little spice. This was a disappointment, particularly because this restaurant says it is a Sichuan restaurant and I had no Sichuan peppercorns in either my my dishes. Both were listed as spicy, with at least one up to 7/10. To me it was a 2/10 but again that's subjective. Really, the dishes should have had Sichuan peppercorns no matter the slice level. What also happened was that I found there was happy hour (food and drinks) when there, but only if I was sitting at the bar. I wasn't offered the seating option when I entered, only to the dining area. One, it's odd that happy hour is only based on seating, but two to not be offered that when walking in was confusing and unhelpful. In the future, I hope that is made clear during happy hour or the seating dependence is removed. Overall food is great, it just needs more spice. And please either remove the seating policy for happy hour or make it clear to customers when they come in.

We are big fans of the NYC outposts of Han Dynasty so it was fun to visit the mother ship. Food was delicious as always, staff was young and fun, but dishes and vibe were different too. We loved the happy hour menu which goes to 6:30. It encouraged us to try fried chicken dumplings and spicy pork belly which were delicious. Seemed like a lot of locals in there having fun. Then we had the dan Dan noodles (spicy!!!), shredded duck and a plate of fresh peas greens, two favorites. All yummy!

Stopped by here for a late lunch with the family. It was close to our hotel (walking distance). We went during a time when it wasn't busy. We were welcomed by a staff member who seated us right away. Those who took our order and brought out the food were friendly and efficient. Overall, the food was good. The scallion pancakes were a little on the smaller size. The shrimp for the honey walnut dish was not what we had initially expected -- it was breaded, similar to that of Chinese chicken fingers -- but still good. The shrimp lo mein had an added taste which I was trying to identify. It reminded me of pork or some kind of meat -- but again, still good. The place was nice, spacious with high ceilings, and has a huge bar. It reminded me of a bar/lounge back in NYC, but it was a little dim. Overall, it was a decent place to get some Chinese food in the area. Also, I believe they will be moving locations soon.
