Craig LaBan sings the chorus of the praise-filled song food bloggers have been humming since the spicy and thrilling Han Dynasty opened in Old City.
[T]he spice levels can be dialed up to vision-stoking heats, house-steeped chili oil flows like butter in a French restaurant, and you’re likely to encounter anything from rabbit and offal to a special called “Weird Taste Chicken.” Han Dynasty’s menu is not for the squeamish or delicate palate. But for those who love food with intensity, Dynasty’s veteran chef, Shao Lin Jiang, 62, is your Sichuan man.

Craig LaBan sings the praises of the dry-pot style fish at Han Dynasty.
It’s a sweaty, chile-forward experience if ever there was one, but it’s also addictive. Remarkably, this dish doesn’t burn the taste buds so much as open them up to the complex blend of aromatic spices that lifts every ingredient – flaky fish fillet, snappy bamboo shoots, chewy mushrooms – to a lip-buzzing harmony.
