I had an awful Chinese food at a restaurant some 20 years ago and it put me off Chinese food and at another one in York. This was my first attempt at Chinese takeaway. We have a Chinese guest from Hong Kong and She enjoyed it and ate most of her Mandarin Beef. We had spring rolls and shared a King Prawn Chow Mein. I was pleasantly surprised by the dish. I wish I came with some sauce and vegetables. The prawns were cooked perfectly as I just can't eat over cooked chewy ones. There quite a few prawns which was great as we shared the dish. The dish lacked colour but definitely not flavour. Those were really lovely noodles not like you get in supermarkets. It's little or no wonder why Chinese eat noodles! They're yum. I definitely recommend and it's little surprise why my step daughter enjoyed the food here too.

Having read a few mixed reviews about price and service I was unsure what to expect; thank goodness we found out for ourselves. A beautiful place to dine, service was efficient and friendly and most importantly, the food was plentiful, delicious and superb value for money. Having moved north from London a year ago it was a relief to be eating somewhere special, especially somewhere serving authentic dishes with strong, pungent flavours and aromas. The marbled lamb with chilli was truly divine, and I must say one of the finest dishes of its kind I have eaten. We left very full, ordered plentifully and shared a bottle of wine and the bill was only £60. I have no idea where the idea that Han is expensive comes from, and to suggest overpriced is crazy - I can only assume those finding issue are making comparison to nasty msg packed takeaways in cheap foil and plastic dishes, in which case you may as well compare the finest Brie De Meaux with a Dairylea triangle. I can't wait to return, as I cannot praise the place highly enough - with the exception of Hunan in Belgravia, the best meal of its type I have been lucky enough to enjoy, and at a quarter of the price there is no praise too high for Han.

20 years ago, when I first moved into the area, this was THE restaurant to go to. Ideal for special occasions. More expensive than the average, but well worth it. Somehow, it's not really moved on and other places in the area are offering a more premium dining experience. The food is still great, better than most Chinese restaurants and the service from mostly young staff is spot-on.
But no burners supplied so your food goes cold. A great shame. Such a little thing to put right. Also you ask for wine by the glass and you get house wine. No choice. This was a surprise. And my wife asked for a gin & tonic. Again no choice. Just standard gin (presumably) and mass-market tonics. With so many great new and local gins available, this lack of imagination detracts from the overall experience. I still think that with a bit of effort, this could become a great 5-star eating establishment again. It'll be interesting to see what happens. But it was only 1/3 full on a Friday night and by about 9:30 there was only one table of guests left. It used to be much busier.

What a delicious meal!
We shared hot and sour soup and Peking dumplings as a starter which were great.
The wasabi beef and the Sichuan hot pepper special with lamb, char Sui and squid was amazing! I totally recommend it!
Desserts we're okay, a bit 70s but fun nonetheless.
Will tell anyone who will listen to try it!

Good food and good service as always. Has been redecorated and looks really nice. Will be going again end of April for my birthday.

Previously this was about the best restaurant in town, but my latest visit was rather disappointing- the banquet we ordered was smaller in quantity and had significantly less meat/seafood in the dishes.
This restaurant has never been the cheapest but the quality shone out - now it seems rather ordinary, but the prices remain high!

Went with friends for meal. Have been a few times and always enjoyed the food.
This time the food was decent but no more. The service was adequate but not great as it has been previously.
We were served mainly by two young people. One male , one female. They were pleasant and tried but weren't very precise.
The food was not up to its usual high quality. Don't get me wrong it was ok , but Hans used to be amazing every time.

Went to Han for a colleague's retirement celebration and had a lovely evening. The service was polite and efficient but unobtrusive, and the food was superb. We opted for the Ming banquet and it was a great choice. Plenty of food, beautifully cooked and full of flavour. Will definitely be back.

We visited Han for a department night out. I thoroughly enjoyed the evening. All of the food I tried was delicious. The service was prompt and efficient and the drinks were reasonably priced. I look forward to returning with my family.
