Han Chinese Restaurant
Latest Reviews
This is one of our favourite restaurants in the area and the only Chinese restaurant we would go to. The food is amazing, even when they are super busy. Clarence, the Maitre d, makes every trip a fun one and is always recommending new stuff to try, based on what he knows you like. It's not the cheapest of places, but you get what you pay for. We take friends and family on a regular basis and have never been disappointed by the service, food, atmosphere or selection of drinks. The place is always spotless and children are welcomed. We've been for several special occasions and we've always been well looked after. Make sure you book in advance to avoid being disappointed as it's always busy. Sharon

As one of my families favourite resturants I am yet to be disappointed. Great selection of food.... Service can sometimes do with some work but the maitre d makes the experience worth it!

Great food, the banquet was really yummy. Good wine. Especially friendly for families with children. Service not so great but still really worth a visit!

Went for a friend's birthday been a few times before but hadn't been for 5 years. Unfortunately the lady waiter is cold and makes you feel like unwelcome which is not a good start. We ordered han banquet but the wait between the starters and the duck was redicilous as we seamed to have been forgotten. The mains were ok but too gluey for me. The desserts leave a lot to be desired and are extremely limited. The ice cream is not pleasant its the cheapest you can find as it tastes of nothing I couldn't eat it. Don't think I will be returning would rather venture further into Leicester and go to a Chinese buffet.

A major effort went into the night we were there celebrating the Chinese New Year ! Good food , good atmosphere and a lot of effort put into the evening in general . Well done to the Hans team !

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.

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 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!

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.

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.

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

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 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.

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.

Been here many times and it never fails to satisfy. The Banquets are great value for money and offer an excellent varied menu to suit your taste. It was a Saturday evening and the room was full but the service maintained at a really good standard. It is a fantastic place for a group party.

Recently attended HAN for their Chinese New Year's party. The food was excellent, the best I have tasted in a very long time as was the service. Restaurant had also arranged traditional 'Dragon dance' and a 'Chinese firecracker' as added entertainment. Absolutely superb evening and look forward to returning again very soon. The manager did remind me a little of Uncle Benny from the Chinese cop movies, he was fun, vivacious and an absolutely wonderful host.

The venue is lovely and you feel special when there. The food is very good but on the expensive side. Staff rush around so don't make time to speak to customers.

I have visited Han's several times and have always found the food to be of a consistently high standard .
There is a wide choice from both the set dinner menu and the 'a' la Carte menu .The service is both welcoming and friendly making for a very pleasant dining experience.

After visiting this restaurant for the first time this weekend, I have to say that I am thoroughly pleased with my wife's suggestion of visiting as it was recommended to her by a colleague.
As our party of 6 entered the restaurant, we were greeted with smiles and open arms by our hostess. She then took us to our table in the restaurant upstairs which was set out in an immaculate and uniformed manor.
This set the precedent for the night that would ensue, the staff were very friendly and very helpful in guiding us through their menu. The food was cooked and presented beautifully and my wife and I both felt that the price truly reflected good value for money. We all chose the "Han Banquet" which was a set 4 course meal for around £22 and every penny was well worth spending.
We have already booked again for the New year celebrations, which, as we were told by members of the adjacent table, will truly be a night to remember.
We are all counting down the days :)
