Han Chiang, whose Han Dynasty restaurants are hits in Exton and Royersford, tells Meal Ticket he's aiming at on or around Dec. 15 to open his third location at 108 Chestnut, in the former home of Joe's Peking Duck Original 1984.

"I've always wanted to open in Philly, so when I saw a good deal, I jumped on it," says Chiang, who won't change much of the interior of the ready-to-go space much, at least not right away. Though these plans aren't set in stone just yet, but the plan is to make this Han Dynasty more of a nightlife location, with weekly hot pot nights, karaoke nights and so forth. A liquor license should kick in a few months after he opens. The menu will be kept largely the same as Chiang's other locations, the caveat being that he wants to start getting away from Americanized Szechuan cuisine and focus on a more true-to-tradition thrust.
