Very authentic regional Chinese fare. I like my food garlicky and on the hot and spicy side. They didn't disappoint. Things move at a snail's pace here but it's worth the wait.

I have been to the university city location several times and loved it. Sadly, the menu and food were not as good here. Scallion pancakes were great but the beer duck was too boney with very little meat. The service was friendly.

My wife and I went to this Restraurant based upon the recommendation of my son-in-law who is a chef. The Restraurant is located in a strip mall but the dining room was very nicely appointed. When we arrived we were the one couple in the dining room but before we were served the place filled up. Service was outstanding and when the waiter found out it was our first visit he asked if we wanted authentic Chinese or Americanized Chinese. He then explained the diverse menu and inquired about how spicy we wanted our selections. My wife ordered Kung Pao Chicken while I had Shredded Pork with Garlic Sauce. Both meals were well prepared, delicious and served promptly. The waiter checked back to ensure our meals were satisfactory and even told a story about how the Shredded Pork dish came about. We enjoyed the experience and will definitely return.

This is real authentic Szechuan cuisine. If you want everyday americanized chinese, don't go here. If you want the real thing, get here quickly. Don't miss this gem.

Unlike the other Han Dynasty locations, this spot has both an Americanized menu and an authentic Chinese / Szechuan menu. Szechuan is usually spicy so if that's not your thing, you may want to stick to the Americanized menu. I think this is to pacify the tastes out here in central montgomery county.

For appetiser, we had spicy cold marinated cucumbers. I had this at the Cherry Hill NJ location and loved it there. Highly recommended appetizer. It's one of the best things I've ever ate. Our entrees included Salt and Pepper Squid and Beef with Cumin. Both Excellent offerings. A real treat. There are so many things I want to try, I'm sure I'll be back regularly. I'm very excited to discover this and can't believe I just found out about it.

Of Han Dynasty's five locations in the greater Philadelphia area, this is the only spot that gets a higher number of mixed reviews. Now, with so many people giving this an excellent rating in all of Han's locations, I have to think it's the reviewer and not the restaurant. You don't see this for the Center City location, for the University City location, in Cherry Hill and just a little for the Exton location. As a diner, it's OK if this is not your cup of tea especially if you're looking for more basic american-style chinese food. That however is no reason to ruin it for other diners who can appreciate what is clearly one of Montgomery County's best restaurants. I don't want to deter customers and potentially see this location close. We have too few great restaurants out here. If your not one to appreciate this type of cooking, then say "this is not for me" but don't make this out to be a bad restaurant. Perhaps it's best of you just refrain from reviewing. that's what I do. I give a break to places that are not my taste. There is a diner for every restaurant type. Take that into consideration.

Dined here with a party of 12 for lunch on a Friday. We did not experience any of the issues the previous reviewer mentioned. Service/food delivery was extremely fast and everyone in the party thoroughly enjoyed all of the delicious food. I have no complaints aside from the place was uncomfortably warm...wish they could turn the AC up more.

Dishes that we really enjoyed: scallion pancake, cumin lamb, chicken with dry hot peppers, ma po tofu with pork.

FYI that I have also visited the Philly center city location. I thought the Dan Dan Noodles were tastier there, but the service was much slower there.
