Mandarin Court
61 Mott Street

Went to Chinatown for a dim sum lunch with an old colleague. Pork dumplings were very good, the shrimp ones were frighteningly fishy. The beef, vegetable and chicken dumplings were good, the duck was very good (was that a camphor tea flavor?) and the sticky rice in cabbage leaves was really good. The eggplant dish, chinese cabbage and tofu dishes were also good. The room is a bit scary, service is what you might expect but, other than the risky shrimp, everything else was good. And inexpensive.
