The menu includes things like Dan Dan noodles , beef tendons in chili oil , and dry pepper chicken wings , plus 14 protein-based entrees. The early word is very good.

Noah Weiss

Some of the best spicy Chinese in NY. Standouts: dan dan noodles , spicy chicken wings , cumin lamb and chicken , Ma po tofu .

Ranu Rajkarnikar

Delicious! Dumplings in chili oil , dan dan or sesame noodles , eggplant garlic sauce , chicken wings , etc. You can't go wrong. Prepare to sweat, the spice is awesome. One of my favorite chinese spots!

Cole Kennedy

Arrive solo on a weeknight. Sit at the bar . Order dumplings in chili oil & dan dan noodles . Eat a dumpling , then some noodles . Repeat ‘til the dumplings are done & dump the chili oil into the noodles .

Lauren

"Things go wrong a lot [but] the food is so good." -The Infatuation | Recommended: Dan Dan Noodles , Dumplings in Chili Oil , Dry Pepper Style Chicken , Long Hot Pepper Style Beef , Dry Pot Style Fish .

Melissa Chai

My favorite veggie dish of all time: sautéed pea shoots with garlic . Both my parents are from Szechuan, China and the Dan Dan noodles and dumplings in chili oil were some of the best I've had

Amber

A transplant from Philly, Han Dynasty is still the best Szechuan I've found. Their heat scale has gotten somewhat toned down over the years, but everything else has stayed the same - awesome.

Ranu Rajkarnikar

They'll text you when your table is ready so don't be discouraged by a wait. Turnover is pretty quick too. Just grab a drink nearby and dream about impending dan dan noodles .

Rewan Parti

Order the pork dumplings in chili oil along with scallion pancakes . The dry pepper style fish is delicious so is the garlic sauce style chicken . Don't forget to order Dan Dan noodles .

Will Scholl

The hype is real: Dan Dan Noodles are delicious and have an amazing umami property. The Cumin Lamb has a great texture and flavor with just the right amount of heat.

Jwow

The dan dan noodles are not to be missed! Other favorites are chicken wings , salt and pepper scallops and green beans . Insider tip: if you go with 8 or more people, opt to do the tasting menu !

Jamie Liu

One thing I learned about Han Dynasty is that everything comes in big portion so be sure to share your food! Definitely get dumplings in chili oil . It's delicious. Dan dan noodles are ok.

Morgan Morreale

If you want to have a good time, get the Dan Dan noodles and the wontons in chili oil . If you can't handle too much spiciness , you can easily request to change the spice level number

emily chen

Dan Dan noodles , spicy dry chicken wings , cumin lamb , double cooked pork and some veggies and white rice to balance it all out. Reservations only for parties of 8 or more.

Like A Local Guide

Han Dynasty serves real deal Chinese Szechuan cuisine , and it is definitely worth the wait. If you like your food spicy , they prepare dishes at a 1-10 spice level to your taste. Read more

Connie Chiu

Beef tripe in chili oil , dan dan mien, and the double cooked pork belly ! Gets packed during peak hours so go early. Also pick up a milk tea to counter the intense spicy !

StayNYC Rentals

Sichuan food can be enjoyed very affordably with a large group at this Philly import. The round table in the back seats eight to 12 people for set tasting menus starting at just $25 per person.

Lori Luo

The dan dan noodles and dry pepper chicken wings never fail. Add on a protein in chili sauce (shui zhu rou) and double cooked pork , and you're set for a good meal.

Christian Dickmann

Spicy cucumbers and Dan Dan noodles made a great appetizer combo. Dry pepper chicken , kung pao chicken , garlic beef was a medley of wonderful tastes, from mild to spicy . Friendly staff , amazing place.

Lizzy Saxe

Man, I have never had a disappointing meal here. The Dan Dan noodles are incredible, but so are the cold mung bean ones. The eggplant is beautiful, and so is the mapo tofu . You can't go wrong.

Gothamist

This East Village eatery is known for its dan dan noodles , and though Gothamist Food Editor Nell Casey prefers the aforementioned Grand Sichuan House feast, these still get a spot on the list. Read more

R K

Bustling restaurant- always a long wait but great food. "If" we get in we order the Dan Dan noodles , a couple of entrees and some beer to wash it down. Now, that is the start of a great night.

AmateurConcierge

Obviously get the dan Dan noodles , but don't sleep on the dry spicy chicken (wings or a plate) and the spicy cucumbers . Garlic shrimp is another great addition, but skip the beef in hot sauce

Frank Rimalovski

Probably the best Chinese in the East Village . Unassuming and affordable . Go with a group so you can taste more stuff. If you like Mala (Chinese peppercorn ) this is your place!

Heena

Spicy cucumber , cold noodles with chili oil and cumin style tofu were favorites! Tofu hot sauce style great. Tofu garlic sauce style good also if you want less spicy . Non-veg:heard cumin lamb is great

Shawn J

I've been trying to find a Sichuan place in NYC as good as Han since I first had it in Philly three years ago. Now I don't have to! Dan Dan Noodles , Cumin Lamb , and Garlic Eggplant are all amazing.

Lizzy Saxe

The dan dan noodles are great but don't sleep on the rest of the menu. It's hard to go wrong. Wontons in chili oil are a must-have, and so are the eggplant and mapo tofu .

Dan Valen

Spice levels are listed in red to the right of each dish. 7 and above leaves your mouth numb (in a good way). Try the dan dan noodles , pork belly , and crispy cucumber appetizers and go from there.

Cait Irwin

Order the dan dan noodles . They are cooked to perfection (literally the best noodles I have ever tasted), topped in chili oil sauce with minced pork and scallions . Super spicy but worth it.

Trixie

Ridiculously good Chinese food . Start with the famous Dan Dan noodles . Follow it with the Cumin Lamb and Fish in Chili Oil . It's spicy but not to worry, you can handle it

Cole Kennedy

Wondering about wontons vs. dumplings ? Personally, I prefer the softer, more flat and slipper dumplings to the denser, more pebble-like wontons , pictured here.

Marjorie D

Everything here is so good! Even if you don't like spicy foods they will adjust the level and make things more or less spicy . Order the Don Don noodles and the wontons in chilli seed oil.

Alex Tsu

Han Dynasty is a staple of the Chinese food scene in NYC and Philly. Get the Dan Dan noodles , spicy pepper chicken , and cumin lamb . You'll leave very, very full.

Samiha Khan

If you aren't getting the dan dan noodles , what are you doing here? They have different levels of spiciness for the noodles which can be fun to experiment with.

Tim Shea

Staff can be a bit ungracious, but the food is absolutely delicious. Hands down some of the best Chinese I've ever had

Lisa Yu

The dandan noodles are delicious and the portion size is enough to make you feel full. We loved the twice cooked pork which was crispy and flavorful and actually more pork than leek (surprise!)

Sandra Rubinchik

Don't be a hero; you probably wanna stay under 6 on the spice meter. Make sure to pair spicy dishes with mild ones, and definitely don't skip the wontons or dumplings in chili oil . Or else.

Nate Folkert

crispy rice style shrimp in sweet and sour sauce with bamboo shoots , black mushrooms , and wood ear mushrooms , served on crispy rice

PureWow

Get the boiled, pork-filled beauties doused in bright-red chile oil and (we’re pretty sure) some kind of pixie dust. Seriously, the stuff is magical. Read more

Ben Watkins

Fav Philly restaurant hits NYC. Spicy fish tofu stew is the bomb. Get three pepper (anything) for crispy , spicy noms. Any of the noodle appetizers are yummy as well

Robert Kim

In case you haven't read the reviews... Order the Dan Dan Noodles and chicken wings !!! We also had the salt and pepper shrimp and dry chilli beef . Just order anything it's all awesome!

meghan gill

All these other tips ain't lying. Dumplings in chili oil . Dan Dan . Spicy cucumber . Go halves-ies on everything with a friend and you'll be full (and in heaven) for 24 hours .

Allen Yang

Best Sichuan food in the city right now. Don't miss the spicy cucumbers , dry pepper fish , or double cooked pork belly . Takeout is a good option to avoid the line .

Ms Helene

Fish in chili oil with cabbage , Kung Pao shrimp $19, crispy cucumber and Dan Dan noodles were the best dishes ordered. Skip the dry pepper beef and standard fried dumplings .

Sean Kizy

Some of the friendliest service and great food at good pieces. Hell yeah! Dan Dan noodles , wontons in chili oil and wings were damn good. Overall not as spicy as I anticipated.

Dan Hebert

Dan dan noodles were great. Also loved the dry pepper style chicken

William Nelligan

The tea at the table functions as a kind of salve for the forthcoming spice. Don't let that discourage you, though - get something Sichuan, and commiserate with your fellow diners about the heat.

Jenny Fan

Delicious import from Philly. Get the Dan Dan Noodles !! The tofu/fish dishes are also super solid. Tends to be very spicy so go lower if you wimp out on spicy food .

Russell Hirschorn

Some great sz food. Cucumbers , dan dan noodles and dumplings were awesome. The main dish we had was good but have had much better in flushing.

Michelle Cheung

I prefer this place to Grand Sichuan. The cold pork belly appetizer is my favorite. I didn't really like the crispy rice entree so much but that was the only miss of the night. It didn't disappoint.
