For......Excellent decor and cleanliness, no flock wallpaper and faux dragons. Food is well above average for Chinese restuarants, with no MSG in the mix.
Against...... Can be noisy as they specialise in large parties. The noise from the table of 15 behind us made conversation almost impossible.
Miserable senior waitress ( the owner?) Did the usual pouring the whole bottle of wine in the hope you'll order another bottle.
Message ontable asking for cash tips to avoid paying tax.Quite expensive. (£16 for a £5 bottle of Chardonnay)
Not sure if I'd return, perhaps yes if guaranteed no parties booked.

We have eaten here several times as a family and we love the various banquet option which for around £20 a head is fantastic value and delicious to boot.
Would recommend if you like Chinese food.

Food was fine but evening was spoiled because the front of house temporary waiter was far too free with his hands - on my male partner!!!

We were only in Market Harborough for one night and Hans was recommended to us.
It has apparently been established for upwards of 20 yrs.The street appeal was evident from the off - a traditional carved table in the window clearly showing a menu to draw you in.
Downstairs is beautifully furnished for the takeaway client but upstairs was a properly set out restaurant, starched white tablecloths, fresh flowers and beautiful architectural flower displays in the windows.
Then there was the food. Probably one of the most comprehensive Chinese menus I've seen in a while. I wished I could have returned time and again to savour something new.
We opted for the Han Special Set Menu - £22 per head for a starter, half a duck, three meat dishes and a rice dish, toffee apple/banana and chinese tea. Beautifully presented - lovely sculpted carrots and tasted divine.
I thoroughly recommend Hans Restaurant for an intimate and special dining experience

Everyone in Harborough im sure has tried this grand looking Chinese place.
Unfortunatly after the facade its not up to much.
Last time we went we were seated in the holding area downstairs with a drink to pick from the menu, nothing wrong with that except when we had decided we had to interrupt the two staff members from their chat, (which had gone on the whole time we were there), to say we were ready to order.
There were four of us and we had decided that two of us wanted the seafood banquet @ £35, and the two others had decided on a non seafood banquet @25, good money you would think until they refused to allow us to have what we wanted because the minimum order for each kind of banquet was three people. Why ?
Manager was called who shrugged his shoulders, I told him in that case we would pay for our drinks and go elsewhere, he again shrugged his shoulders, so we were out across the street to Shagarika the indian place and had a great meal for half the cost.
I will be swerving this place in future and i would recommend you do the same.

The restaurant was very busy, but they squeezed us in even though we didn't have a reservation. The food was delicious, beautifully presented and reasonably priced. The restaurant has a very classy feel to it, without being 'stuck up'. The set meals are especially well priced for the amount of food you get. If we had to find fault, I would say some of the waiting staff could have been a bit friendlier, and we witnessed one of the senior staff shouting at another waitress which made us slightly uncomfortable. The food more than made up for that minor incident.

Have been a regular over the years to this restaurant. Food has always been very good, although it is hit and miss with the staff - sometimes you can get one who obviously has better things to do other than serve paying customers!

We have been going to Han for more than 10 years and it has been consistently the best Chinese food in the area. I would however agree with others who have commented about the recent change in staff it is a shame and I would also prefer less touchy touchy & jokey jokey. Back to the food though which is excellent value and unless you have a huge appetite you only need to order a banquet for 3 to adequately feed 4!

Have visited Hans for many years on an occasional basis and have NEVER had cause for complaint. Service and food I have always found to a very high standard and although some would consider it expensive its worth the occasional treat. Our recent xmas outing was to the usual high standard and would visit here above most others in the area.
