Philadelphia-born Sichuan mini-chain from founder Han Chiang, the Upper West Side Han Dynasty brings big-heat classics and chili oil-heavy plates to a roomy two-level space near 85th Street. Locals lean on it for group dinners built around dan dan noodles, dry-fried dishes, and a long list of regional specialties that stay remarkably consistent given the volume.
