Han Dynasty

Han Dynasty's got all the hits New Yorkers have come to love, including dan dan noodles, fried rice and wonton soup. But while the menu might look familiar, the high-quality preparation is anything but ordinary. It's been said that Han only hires chefs with Chinese-acquired chops, and when you taste the food, you'll surely believe the rumors. While the original location is in the East Village, the goodness has spread to Brooklyn and the Upper East Side, so you can feed your craving for Chinese in multiple neighborhoods around town. If you've managed to pull a group of at least eight, you can also go in on the omakase tasting menu. For $25 a head, it's one of the best deals in the city.
