Han Dynasty in Birmingham

Have dim sum all day. Foods good, service ok. Quite busy in a Monday night. Water/tea will be charged 60p/1.20p.p

Got steamed dumplings and server who took our order moved very fast and was friendly. The food came at a reasonable time and the food tasted very good. The issue occurred when we went up to pay. First we randomly got charged for tap water. When we questioned it, the server (who was on the phone) didn’t fully even listen to our question then just said okay never mind it and lowered our bill but it still was more than what was expected so we still pointed to where the mistake was and the server said okay mistake and told us she gave us the bill for a different table. While still on the phone she gave us a new bill (which was still wrong) because we were in a rush we just paid and left. Did not take card, only bank transfer as well. Experience ruined by the end, we just wanted leave as soon as we could. Shame :(

The food is authentic Cantonese style food professionally cooked. Service is friendly. Price is reasonable. Very nice experience and food is real good!

Amazing dumplings! Vibrant, Authentic!

The taste is of a high standard and reflects the taste of Hong Kong people. The ingredients of the Zhizhu Lamb Belly Pot are good enough and highly recommended. The bean curd rolls are average in appearance but taste good. The rolls of rice rolls are too thick but the taste is acceptable. One bite of the carrot cake is good. The fried squid is average, the beef cypress leaves are delicious, the dry-fried beef river looks numb, the noodles vary in size, and the taste is average

Myself and sister had lovely meal at Han Dynasty Restaurant it was for a birthday treat before going to Alexandra theatre for Abba Tribute highly recommended place to Eat

The durian cake is super good and really delicious😋 But you have to wait, there are too few seats and you have to wait for a long time.

Went here with a group of 7 on a Saturday evening. Accommodated us with about 30mins notice. Superb food, good value, friendly service, large portions. Dim Sum was lovely. Would definitely recommend.

A hearty meal for dinner! Right! There are “Dim Sum” for dinner time! That’s right! We also have dim sum during dinner time! Il y a des « Dim Sum » pour l’heure du dîner C’est vrai!

Best dim sum I have ever had in the UK so far. Very friendly staff as well

Food was amazing servers was great, would recommend

Visited this restaurant last sunday and had a good time! Food was really good, and sold in very good price with perfect portion! services are nice, the people are very friendly.

A Hong Kong-style restaurant that tastes pretty good! Each portion is very large~staple dishes such as fried rice, etc. If you are not very hungry, you can share it among three people, and if you are very hungry, you can share it between two people! They all taste good, especially the beef tenderloin, which has a sweet and sour taste. I really like it~~ It’s just that they served one of the rice dishes wrong. When it was finally served, we said we really couldn’t eat it and were very full, so the waiter took it away~ But when we checked out , although the wrong meal was not charged, the money for not eating was added! ? The amount was changed only after being reminded later, and the wrong one will be considered ours. I hope the store didn't do it on purpose. After all, the service and meals are both good.

Yum yum. Massive portions great value for money

Visited on a weekday. A small Chinese restaurant with not too many tables. Better reserve one in advance for holiday dining. Dim sum food was generally good. But fried noodle appeared too salty. This place appeared under staff.

Very bad service. Surely not recommend. 👎

The portion of the food is very small, and the taste is average compared to other Cantonese restaurants. I do not recommend this restaurant. The price/performance ratio is not high, and the food delivery is very slow. The tea I ordered did not come after 10 minutes, and the waiter's attitude was not particularly good.

Waiting for an hour for a bowl of noodles is really outrageous

Absolutely lovely Dim Sum and Cantonese food. Service was excellent. The design of the tick box menu for non-chinese eaters/speakers is pure genius! The food is delicious. All freshly made. Mmmmmm. We've been twice, the second time with our autistic son and it was a very, very pleasant experience. No leftovers! For large parties they even have a Lazy Suzan. I've never seen on in a restaurant just in stately homes.

可能是说普通话歧视 我们两个人来吃 安排坐下了 后来让我们去挤一个小桌 说今天人多 完全理解 然后紧接着还是两位 进来就让他们坐之前那桌

We love this restaurant and try to factor in a meal here whenever we have a train change at New Street station. We particularly like the pork and peanut steamed dumplings but everything we’ve eaten here has been tasty and good value. Staff are friendly and helpful. Now trades as Yue Xin restaurant.

The service is very nice. And waitresses are very friendly and down-to-earth. They would like to chitchat with you. Food is just average for me local.

Found this restaurant on the edge of Chinatown, it's now known as Yue Xin. Went especially for dim sum for lunch however they have quite a variety of other Chinese foods. Plenty of Chinese clientele here on a Sunday afternoon. Enjoyed different dim sum classics like siu mai, Cheung fan, spare ribs and chicken feet. The waitresses were very friendly and helpful which is quite unusual as I don't usually expect good service in many Chinese restaurants. Tasty food with decent portion sizes, will be returning to try more items off the menus.Food cost around £45 for 3 people including tea.

Found this place via a spontaneous Google search and my word…it’s probably the best Chinese that I’ve personally eaten at. My girlfriend and I ordered a variety of Dim Sum and a plate of Beef Ho Fun each and the Dim Sum was the best Dim Sum we have eaten, whilst the Ho Fun was full of flavour and the texture was gorgeous. I would highly recommend a visit to this place!

Excellent Cantonese cuisine with friendly staff. The seats are sadly a bit crowded and the hotpot facility restricts legroom.

Lovely authentic food at reasonable prices. Steamed custard buns for pudding were great

火車站出口位置非常方便, 員工很熱誠有禮~ 食物夠熱，即叫即做

I purposely ordered food I had never eaten before. (except the ones I had attempted to make myself, like the steamed buns. I ordered the rice in lotus leaf, steamed buns with mushroom and chicken, Chicken feet, fish cake and steamed rice. I had sprite. I spent a total of £18.

Delicious food but a little bit tiny.

The best Dim Sum in town. I will come back again.

Imagine my misunderstanding, when I turned up at this place having searched locally for a "handy". I couldn't believe my luck when I found a "Handy Nasty Restaurant" - my two favourite things - a handy and dinner afterwards. Staff were very understanding of my gaffe and offered me directions to an establishment that would fulfil my needs. FIVE STARS

I rarely leave feedback but for a place like this it's worth it. My partner and I stopped by for a meal after my competition and I must say I was very pleased. Large portions, the food was fresh and very tasty, the service was friendly and the atmosphere in the restaurant was also enthusiastic. Importantly I left full and had no stomach revolutions afterwards. I recommend it wholeheartedly.

Need someone to speak Cantonese. Otherwise its hard to order.

Best food to eat here. Very light and tasty - my personal best Chinese restaurant to go to and in Quarter !

Electric Theatre then Dim Sum good food and reasonably priced in a relaxed atmosphere.

Leaving a 3* review here for Yue Xin …then will report HD as closed. Perhaps another TA reviewer will like to add/report YX as a new place☺️ Not me today. Got here to see HD closed up and early enough there was a large enough table to seat us. Ordered £130 worth of dim sum and menu offerings. All decent average, nothing to rave about food. Great if eating in a group as it’s very much sharing small plates/bamboo steamer baskets of food. There is a self order sheet with pictures. You mark what you want and a staff member will collect the sheet from you when you’re ready. You can make additional orders midway/after if you want more. Seats were not very comfortable imo and sounded as though if you only spoke Chinese you may struggle with communicating any requests/orders off the a la carte menu. Would come again as convenient if training into the city. Right outside the steps from the old John Lewis steps. Else pay car parks not too far.

Un pranzo cinese autentico. In particolare questo ristorante è specializzato in piatti del dim Sum, una sorta di pasto arricchito da tanti assaggi di cibo e accompagnati da tè. Il clima che respira è genuinamente cinese :) cibo eccezionale e prezzi non esagerati

Not as grandiose as it's name suggests. It's more akin to a bistro or more appropriately "cha chang teng". Limited dim sum menu, that said, what is available is good and no hints of excessive MSG. Service isn't the best nor is it the fastest. But some might argue it's full so expect more time for dishes to come out. But One dim sum dish that we waited for, for over 90min never made it and they still wanted to charge us. Hmmm After much ado, it was taken off the bill. Not the best first experience. There's no immediate street parking outside so expect a parking ticket and if you think you can sneakily drop off n go, make sure the camera isn't pointing your direction. On a plus point the train station side entrance is right across the road so prob ok if you want to take a trainee and don't want to walk all the way down to Chinatown. Im not keen on the place but my friends think it's good. Perhaps it was just an off day? Maybe I'll give them a second chance... ...or not

當日（星期五）一行四人和婆婆歡聚晚餐，開茶及點餐時可用廣東話交談，多一份親切感，當日點了一個四人套餐，內有（芥菜肉片鹹蛋湯、班腩豆腐煲、香酥豬扒、椒絲腐乳通菜、XO 醬牛肉抄肉豆和白飯）另加一隻白切鷄，咕嚕肉和蝦蛟，餸菜有水準（難怪有人說這是香港食堂），價格合理，當日共聚真開心。

The food amazing...its worth every single penny you spend...🫶🫰👌❤️💙

Very traditional Cantonese food, atmosphere nice and the customer services I personally think the price is way better than anywhere else for what you get just most of the time it seems to be always full and have to wait few mins for a table.

Really very good roast meats and excellent Char Siu Bao. Unfortunately had the wrong football strip on the wall.

Seems having dim sum in hk. Hk taste. But it made quite long time to prepare the food.

Had some lovely dim sum and noodles on this restaurant. It’s a short walk from the main Chinese quarter, but worth a visit. Staff was helpful and ultimately the dim sum was very tasty. Recommended and will come back again.

The food is good and the staff is friendly!

Excellent food, won’t be disappointed!!

One of the fewer restaurant in Birmingham China town provide good Dim Sum.

Id just returned from Honk Kong and was in desperate need of a dim sum fix. In my humble opinion these are the best dim sum in town. Menu has a wide range of fresh and authentic offerings, all reasonably priced.

I feel I should preface this by saying that I’m a reasonable person and having lived in China, am fairly familiar with Asian food. Butttt, we were really disappointed by our recent visit to this restaurant. The English menu was pretty confusing, and not accurately labelled. We are vegetarian and ordered dishes that didn’t mention meat, but turned up and were in fact meaty. It’s a shame as it looked delicious, but I can’t stand seafood, so couldn’t stomach it. The staff however were lovely, so we just ate what we could, paid, and left. Probably won’t be going back though!

More dim sum than I have ever seen

Chinese dim sum ＆ beef brisket chow min (noodle）were good. The waitress was so nice. Will come back again.

Wasn't the best. Service felt a little terse. Vegetarian food was ok. Odd that we couldn't just split and pay the bill electronically, not what I'd expect in 2023.

The food was all good, however, they insisted Chinese people to pay in CNY with a much higher currency exchange rate to avoid tax, which is unfair.

Truly excellent dim sum here. Some of the best I've had in the city and definitely some of the largest. The staff were wonderful and the really good sign? We were the only English in here - exactly how i like it!

The customer service are really poor, and their foods taste weird. And some food taste like expired.

A group of 6 of us went along for hotpot. The place looked very busy in the back room and a table of 4 in the main room. Every customer seemed to be Chinese - a good sign right? Er….not really. We were shown to a table and given menus by a waitress. The manager then came over and took the menus back and told us that they did everything a Chinese does, so just ask. When asked how we’d know the prices he said just ask for a dish and I’ll tell you the price. Eventually he suggested a price per head for a set number of dishes and we settled on that. Our initial order worked out, we then discovered that they didn’t really do “everything a Chinese does” - no satay skewers, no salt and pepper chicken, etc. We got there in the end and the food began to arrive. Inevitably there was a limited request for forks instead of chopsticks but they had only one available! Our final dish arrived at least 20 minutes after the previous one by which time we were wondering if we’d forgotten to order it. The party from the back room having clearly finished eating they then spilled into our room for photographs and allowed their rowdy little brats to run around this same room - it was like being at a crap wedding reception. No attempt was made by staff to control them. The food itself was mixed - some dishes were good but not all. We paid and left - never to return. A real shame.

We visited based upon a recommendation that the cook-your-own element of the hot pot was fun, a bit of a novelty for us having not tried it before. We arrived and the restaurant was quite quiet, but for some reason, when we wanted to order the hot pot, we were greeted with frantic waving to say no, we couldn't have it. It wasn't that the ingredients weren't available, the fridges were well stocked. Unfortunately we are somewhat typical in that we don't have a great grasp of any language other than English and the server didn't speak English so there was a language barrier. There were other people on other tables having the hotpot, but we were told no, you have to order something off the other menu (that's what we gleaned from the pointing anyway). So we ordered off the other menu, my partner a stir fry, me a spicy pork dish. More people came in, were seated, and ordered the hot pot and started helping themselves to the constituent ingredients from the fridges. Why were we denied this? More people started to fill up and order the hotpot. I couldn't find anything to say it was restricted timings, or minimum party size, or any reason as to why we couldn't have it. Somewhat annoyed and perplexed, our food arrived. The Stir Fry was greasy and flavourless, my partner who has a good appetite took a few bites, said it made her feel unwell and 'gross' and did not eat it. My pork was empty husks of meat with a lot of spice to it in terms of heat, but no actual flavour. Awful really. I never leave food but I left this. I've been a lot of brilliant restaurants, a lot of average ones, a lot of poor ones too. This sticks in the memory as particularly awful. 30 minutes went by, no one came to clear our dishes, so we went up to pay. We tried to complain to the polite gent at the counter, he said he's go and get the manager, to which the lady who couldn't speak English came out. She clearly did not understand her query and not wanting to raise my voice or escalate the situation, I just paid and we left. Really I do regret paying, the service was dreadful, the arbitrary denial of what we came for was puzzling and it felt like a diversionary tactic to ensure we paid by putting a language barrier in front of us when the previous server spoke perfect English. I hate seeming like a snob to keep driving home the point, but when you run a restaurant in a high-traffic area of a UK city right by a transit hub, I expect management to at least be able to converse with the Customers in the local language. I don't think that's an unacceptable stance. Overall, abysmal. Would never go back, would never recommend. We felt singled out and left disappointed. I genuinely wish I'd refused to pay.

Really nice food and service, I have only had takeaway but is done quickly and efficiently using Uber eats app, staff are friendly and accommodate to different taste. Noodles really good. Thank you.

Amazing hot pot! You can order as many ingredients as you like and all for £20, which is way cheaper than when you order them separate in other places. Great way to enjoy your food with friends.

I have been here 60+ times. Staff are tremendous and attentive, food is delicious and authentic. highly recommend the kung po chicken and sweet/sour pork.

Solía vivir en Birmingham y comer aquí semanalmente, ¡ahora vivo a más de una hora de distancia y conduzco hasta Birmingham solo para comer aquí! Mis platos favoritos son la sabrosa carne de res salteada especial de la casa y la carne de cerdo crujiente frita en salsa agridulce china; la salsa es en realidad una salsa dulce de jengibre pegajoso y miel de ajo. ¡Tan auténtico y delicioso!

Visita del sábado a la hora del almuerzo con un amigo chino. No estaba lleno y los otros invitados eran chinos, lo cual era una buena señal.No hubo ostentación de los restaurantes orientados al turismo en Birmingham. La carta era muy amplia y elegimos dos tipos de sopa de pescado, tripas de cerdo, calamares crujientes, berenjenas con carne picada de cerdo, brochetas de cordero y un poco de arroz hervido. Para beber pedimos un té de jazmín.La cantidad de comida que se sirvió fue asombrosa. Cada uno de los conductos principales era lo suficientemente grande para alimentar a dos por su cuenta. Sabíamos que no importaba lo hambrientos que tuviéramos, la mayor parte de la comida llegaba a casa con nosotros.La comida estaba muy rica y mi amigo me dijo más de acuerdo con las preferencias chinas. Las sopas, una picante y otra suave, mantuvieron intactos los filetes de pescado y fueron fáciles de escoger con palillos. Los intestinos del cerdo estaban crujientes y probados con carne de cerdo. Definitivamente mejor de lo que suenan y algo que pediría de nuevo. Las berenjenas eran dulces y mantuvieron su textura. El calamar estaba tan bueno como sabroso.El servicio fue eficiente y amigable. La factura era sólo 67 y teniendo en cuenta lo que pedimos podría haber alimentado a 8, es una auténtica ganga. Si quieres auténtica comida china fuera del Barrio Chino a un precio muy competitivo, este es el lugar. Muy recomendable de hecho.

I ate here last week with my work colleagues, the food was absolutely delicious, plentiful, clean and served piping hot, the service was also very polite and attentive, I’d 100% recommend and cannot wait to return ASAP!

Visited this place tonight to grab a bite to eat whilst in Birmingham on business. It seemed to be family run restaurant and was packed with Chinese people. I felt a little out of place as virtually the only English person in there, but well worth it as food was excellent. It’s not your ‘normal’ English style Chinese but if you want excellent tasty food give it a go.

He estado dos veces en dos semanas y pedí el mismo plato de fideos y carne. Lamentablemente, la primera fue sabrosa, tierna y rica, pero en la segunda ocasión fue aburrida carne sin sabor y gomosa. El lugar estaba lleno de clientes tailandeses, por lo que debe ser un lugar popular de comida rápida. Tal vez intentaré algo diferente la próxima vez. ¡Sin embargo, los 175 ml de glas de vino son al menos media botella!

Pedimos comida de la dinastía Han y recibimos fideos que estaban demasiado cocidos, sin aditivos y completamente insulsos. Recibimos el cerdo agridulce que era duro, duro y una tarea difícil de comer. Recibimos las gambas de Kung Pao que estaban desprovistas de sabor. En definitiva, una experiencia completamente decepcionante por un precio elevado que no es representativo de la baja calidad de la comida.

Me recomendaron este restaurante por un miembro de la familia, ya que decían que la comida era normal, pero el caldo de buffet caliente era un poco de diversión, ya que usted mismo lo cocinó. Cuando estábamos mirando el menú de afuera, la señora inmediatamente salió y parecía muy agresiva para que entráramos. Nos sentamos y ella se movió sobre nosotros mientras mirábamos el menú, esto me hizo sentir nerviosa y apurada. Cuando miré la página del menú del hotpot, ella agitó su mano sobre la página diciendo "no" repetidamente, indicando que no podíamos tener esto. Decepcionado, ya que esa fue la razón por la que fuimos, elegí otra cosa para comer del menú estándar. Cuando miré a mi alrededor después de ordenar, otra mesa con un hombre asiático, estaba comiendo el caldo y cocinándolo él mismo. Pensé, tal vez fue el momento en que fuimos. Luego, justo después de que ordenamos, entraron otros pocos clientes asiáticos y también se les permitió recoger sus carnes y tener el menú de caldo. Esto me enfureció. De todos modos, elegí los fideos de verduras porque pensé que era una comida básica que no podía salir mal, pero estaba muy, muy mal. Cuando llegó, estaban más secos que un desierto y no tenían sabor alguno. No me gusta que deje la comida, pero me dieron dos bocados y ya no podía comer, así que empujé mi plato hacia un lado. Ni una sola vez el personal vino a preguntar cómo estaban nuestras comidas. Mi compañero tampoco disfrutó su comida, pero comió más que yo. Finalmente, también puso su plato a un lado para indicar que él también había terminado. Esperamos 30 minutos y nadie se acercó a la mesa para limpiar los platos ni proporcionarnos la cuenta, lo cual no me habría molestado, pero el restaurante estaba muerto y estaba claro que no querían la conversación incómoda sobre cómo la comida era. Me levanté y fui al bar, finalmente, a pagarme y aún así no dijeron nada. No soy una persona para hacer un escándalo o una escena, pero desearía no haber pagado. Si pudiera retroceder en el tiempo a cualquier punto de mi vida y cambiar algo, sería no pagar esa factura. Comida asquerosa y servicio asqueroso, nunca más ir. No recomendaría, lamento decirlo.

吃了火锅，东西都是冷冻的，不太新鲜。点了糯米排骨，味道很怪，排骨明显不新鲜。比之前去时差了，不推荐。

Muy mal servicio. La comida estaba bien, pero un plato permaneció intacto como demasiado picante para un niño (sin mencionar esto en el menú, sin mención del camarero cuando pedimos).Para ser justos, si hablamos chino, esto hubiera ayudado y podría haber resultado en una mejor experiencia.

This restaurant was previously a favourite of mine due to the individual hotpots, unlimited buffet style and a wide selection of ingredients/snacks. I was disappointed they have changed to a communal system for the hotpot, and pay per ingredient, with fewer options. It was difficult to eat with a group of people compared to the previous system. The food, however, remained good and my boyfriend, who had never had hotpot, really enjoyed it. My friends and I were left disappointed due to the aforementioned changes. The food labels are all in Chinese which would make it difficult for non-speakers to negotiate. I may go again, but not with a group of people.

Never tried hot pot before, needn't have worried as the staff laughed while showing us what to do! Food was good, plentiful and well cooked (by us!!) So convenient for the station and entertainment venues, will be going again soon.

Perhaps the finest flavours I have ever encountered in Chinese cooking .

I come here regularly for hotpot and mains which are such a great value for your money. The sweet and sour pork is to die for! I cannot wait to visit again. 👍

We ate here tonight and the food was really outstanding. The service was quick, courteous and really great value. I would highly recommend it.

We ordered and we waited and we waited....we tried to get the waitress’ attention but we were conveniently ignored. The tea was great but that is all we had after 50 minutes! There are better places nearby

Si buscas comida deliciosa y auténtica a buen precio con porciones generosas, has venido al lugar correcto.

Have visited a couple of time whilst on business in the city. Quality is good, portions are generous, prices reasonable and staff friendly.

My wife and I regularly visit Han Dynasty, especially for hotpot. This is proper North China good food, so many English customers seem to struggle to know what to order. Thankfully my wife is from North China, so I have an advantage. But many people look completely lost. If you are up for something different and willing to take a chance, this is a great restaurant. Always busy, gets lots of Chinese tour groups, and 5H hygiene.

Been here 4 times, and every time the food has been amazing. It was recommended by a Chinese friend who rates it highly, and given the number of Chinese diners every time I've visited I'd say it has a genuine stamp of approval. The food is cheap - 8 of us ate for £20 each and left unable to manage another bite - delicious, and plentiful. If you're looking for authentic Chinese in the city centre (it's right outside New Street on Station Street), go here.

Came here with friends, wow! Great food, excellent service, conceraned we’d ordered too much or it would be too hot but it was just great. We stuck to the more western cuts of meat giving the pigs stomach, intestine, chicken gizzards and cartridge a miss but will defiantly try one of those dishes next time.

I am not an expert on Chinese food, but this tasted pretty good to me. It seemed authentic with an option of a 'hotpot' which was to essentially cook your own meal. Many of our fellow diners looked like they were well used to eating the dishes and were enjoying them. It is very handy for New Street station, being opposite one of the exits.

Very popular with the Chinese this venue will provide the real deal with good quality choice of food. We had a dinner for 8 of us with a wide variety of good quality well prepared food with two soups, rice, squid, veggies etc. Excellent and staff very helpful. Downstairs room for private parties.

Our third visit and food as good as ever and very reasonably priced. Very busy so get there early. Hot Pots very authentic and very highly recommended.

Visited this place twice in 2 days due to quality of food & service. Kung Pao Chicken was one of the best I’ve ever tasted along with sizzling fillet of beef. Definitely recommend a visit

An annual reunion of old uni pals invariably takes us from pub to pub from noon to Han Dynasty for dinner. Always good food and plenty off it. Nice surroundings. Think we are the only non-Chinese eating in there. Any dodgy tummy issues afterwards are mild and I’d head down to all the beer we have and not necessarily the food. We are all still alive and often go back.

We found this restaurant by accident yesterday evening as we were walking from New St station to the theatre and were in need of dinner. The staff were friendly and helpful, advising us on the menu which had a very good and varied choice. We were very pleased with our two main courses, one chicken dish plus chow mien, which together with rice and jasmine tea proved more than adequate. Service was very speedy and as most of the other diners seemed to be Chinese there was a good atmosphere. A nice touch was a gift of water melon at the end of the meal. We will definitely return.

Visite este agradable restaurant el 2 de enero y realmente fue una muy agradable sorpresa. Grata experiencia en general, muy buena comida y buen servicio, aunado a precios razonables lo hacen merecedor de otra visita. Muy recomendable!!!!

We went here on a Groupon and for the price of it were pleasantly surprised. Four of us went at lunch time it was easy to park in New Street Station's NCP although I must add parking is expensive. Nice restaurant although staff needed more training and were a little hit and miss! I have marked excellent as we would definitely return for the food alone which was really good. We all had chicken and sweetcorn soup followed by a platter of four different starters and the accompanying sauces (although these did arrive a little late) the 4 starters included crispy duck in pancakes. We then had four delicious mains fresh and hot (temperature) ( a chicken dish a sizzling fillet steak dish, a squid dish and broccoli in a garlic sauce served with noodles and fried rice). Although the service left a little to be desired the staff excelled themselves with their friendly and pleasant and accommodating manner. The drinks were not over priced 175ml of wine £4

my friends and i came today hoping for a fantastic meal as we aren’t local to the area and saw good reviews.

We really enjoyed our dinner. Hubby and son ordered Hot Pot. It’s really amazing all the choices, since it’s buffet. They bring you pork and beef, sliced super thin. The fried rice and Kung Pow Chicken were terrific. Perfect place for Vegans/Vegetarians.

Comimos allí dos veces y en ambas ocasiones la comida era excelente y las porciones son generosas. El servicio era lento y en nuestro camarero hablaba muy poco inglés, pero la comida vale la pena esperar. El pollo en dados era genial Szechaun - ideal...

Ok the food was nice but nothing special wine ok too but as for service well how long does it...

Great cafe atmosphere and very handy for New St Station! Mostly full of Chinese diners on my visit which has...

My husband and I wanted something to eat before watching a show at the Alex and happened on this place by accident.

Very popular amongst south east Asian diners I could see why there getting true authentic Chinese not the cheap stuff you get at takeaways or buffet style restaurant this is my favourite Chinese restaurant in Birmingham City period nothing comes close to Han Dynasty restaurant, if I didn't travel to food for food it wouldn't make a difference because the food is that good

Una comida sabrosa. Teníamos carne cocida en aceite de pescado frito picante chili, y judías verdes con cerdo picada que eran todos excelentes platos. Grandes porciones, pero tan bien preparado y condimentado, nivel preciosas de especias, y no abrumadora. La próxima vez probaremos el estofado. Servicio amable también. Realmente recomiendo ir.

I didn't take pictures because I never thought I would feel sick after having hot pot at han dynasty. the hygiene was really terrible, and it was 28C degree on 17th June, but Han dynasty didn't turn on the air conditioner (I really doubt whether they have a AC)There were several flies around us during our meal, and the disgusting flies always tried to stopes on our food. That's horrible experience. Now it's 4:40am UK time. I feel really sick and vomited all the food I had in Han dynasty. OMG I would never come back to this restaurant again!!!!!

At the end of a long and arduous business day in Birmingham, I decided to have a good meal before heading to the airport for the last flight home. I happened across Han Dynasty near the main station and looked forward to tucking in to some good Asiatic dishes. Surprise number one was that this is not a conventional restaurant where you order from the menu and the food is served up. The procedure is - as far as I could understand - is that you select your food and cook it yourself in a hot pot on your table. Not what I really wanted, but I persevered and started off. Surprise number two is that the extensive selection of raw foods on offer are not identified. It is good to know what you are eating and all in all I found the place to be too much a job of work, which i did not need after a 4.30 am start to my day.The situation was compounded by the fact that the two ladies in attendance simply did not have sufficient English to help, willing though they were. I freely acknowledge that there were many people in the restaurant obviously enjoying themselves but also obviously familiar with the procedure and the food selection. Unfortunately, a wrong choice for me on the day.

We stopped of here for an early dinner on the way to a concert in Birmingham We choose a pot of food which you pick yourself I went up to pick the food with a memberof the staff the food looked lovely and fresh the pot soon came and was lovely enough for two people at the cost of £12.40 we had a glass of wine and a beer with it . We did ask if they had a desert menu but they did not kindly the lady brought us over some fresh fruit which was lovely . When we settled the bill we noticed they had not charges for the fruit we left a tip lovely food and service i look forward to returning .

The restaurant can be found 30metres from the Electric Cimema, behind New Street Station. It is unlikely that you pass it unless you were directed to it. Access off the street is made with a very small step, possibly no more than 40mm, 1 1/2 inches. What first strikes you is the lack of the usual Chinese paraphernalia which you often find in British Chinese restaurants. The decor is quite minimal. Secondly, when we had our meal, we were the only Western Europeans, and all the other guests appeared to be of Chinese origin. Thirdly, the only Chinese decor was a wide screen TV, streaming a Chinese programme, with Chinese subtitles. This, we felt, gave the restaurant a stamp of approval from their fellow countrymen. The menu was reasonably varied, but had some dishes with ingredients that we had never had before. Ordering and serving times where perfectly acceptable. The portions are some of the best we have see. What impressed us most of all was the flavour. It did not have a 'franchise' flavour, no different from anywhere else. The food genuinely tasted fresh, interesting, and cooked by someone who knew what they were doing. There was a cold buffet bar which we did not try, but without knowledge of Chinese ingredients and Chinese script, your choices would be a bit of 'pot luck'. Finally, the cost for two main courses, two different types of rice, and drinks for two, came to £28. We were impressed. It might be a bit of a walk off the beaten track (a shorter route is via the lowest floor in John Lewis), but it felt like a very reasonably priced authentic Chinese meal.
