Sichuan cooking has spread well beyond Chinatown in Philadelphia, thanks in large part to one operator. Han Dynasty, with its Old City location on Chestnut Street, brought numbing-and-spicy dishes like dan dan noodles and dry pot to a wide local audience. Its menu, organized by spice level, made Sichuan flavors accessible across the city.
Han Dynasty in Philadelphia is Han Chiang's Sichuan room on Chestnut in Old City, the kitchen that ranked the city's spice scale 1 to 10 and made the dan dan.
OrderDan dan noodles, dry-pot rabbit at heat 7, three-pepper chicken, mapo tofu.
TipOrder one dish below the heat level you think you can handle. The 10-spice scale is honest.
