Han Dynasty, Old City Philadelphia

Han Dynasty, 108 Chestnut Street, Philadelphia PA 19106-3009, (215) 922-1888.

Han Dynasty's menu specializes in authentic spicy Sichuan cuisine. Since I've never been to China I can only take their word for it, but it seems likely. I've been here twice so far and everything's great. The rabbit dish I had was very good, but has lots of small bones to negotiate which can make it challenging to eat. Nothing for it until we start breeding boneless rabbits I suppose.
Spicy Chinese food's a favorite of mine, so I love the place. Prices are modest considering the quality. I've had $100 per head dinners I didn't like as much, but this is really depending on my personal taste. If I had to cite a comparable experience so far as the quality of the food I would have to say it's equal to Nobu Next Door in NYC., but at $25 per head for dinner with an appetizer and main dish compared to $50+ for Nobu Next Door it's a better value. This is NYC compared to Philly, which is more expensive across the board.
Service is far better than average for this locale and the staff are very knowledgeable and accomidating.
