Han Dynasty - Old City is a well-known restaurant in the city, offering a good dining experience. Although the restaurant has moved from its iconic location in a historic old bank building to a smaller, more casual spot, it continues to be praised for its tasty dishes. The new space features small tables closely packed in a long and narrow room, creating a relaxed atmosphere, though it feels less formal than the previous upscale setting. The staff remains attentive and efficient, with a special mention to Vincent for his friendly hospitality that makes guests feel welcome right away. While the restaurant may not be lively, it remains a gem that serves excellent meals, including scallion pancakes, Dan Dan noodles, and a unique shrimp lo mein dish. Customers enjoy the clean and modern space and express a willingness to come back multiple times. Despite the lack of air conditioning and a more crowded atmosphere, the food arrives hot and flavorful, making the dining experience enjoyable. Many guests appreciate the spicy options like the Dan Dan noodles and dry pot fish, and the restaurant's late hours and full bar add to its appeal. The space is large and well decorated, and the food is shareable with generous portions, although some mention that the floors and tables can be sticky and not very clean. Overall, Han Dynasty - Old City continues to be a favorite for those seeking delicious Chinese dishes in a welcoming setting.
