Authentic , 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.

Delivery 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 Ozomová

Initially 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 Kennedy

Options 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 !

10 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!

Shawn Glass

Food 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 .

Brendan Rastetter

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."

If 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.

Philadelphia Magazine

Great 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

Han 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.

The Dan Dan noodles are nothing but amazing. It's totally worth the awkward sweating and chugging water while trying to eat them.

The best, most authentic Chinese food I've ever had. Ask for recommendations, and if you like spicy , try the Fish Pot.
