We really wanted some good Dim Sum in Chinatown. This place was recommended in a couple of guides so in we went. Confusion is not a big enough word for what happens once you are inside. I mean, how hard can it be to order food from a menu even if no-one speaks a word of English - which they... More

I was walking around Chinatown trying to find an authentic Chinese restaurant, and gave this place a try. It was a little hard to communicate with the people as they spoke very broken English. All the food comes by in carts and you grab what you want, and I thought the food was okay. This could be simply from it... More

The setting is casual, but very nice and professional. The food is very good. The view is exceptional-full floor to ceiling windows with an unblocked view. A bit over priced for what you get.

After reading a lot of praise, we decided to try Mandarin Court again this year. Very nice Dim Sum, but we had been spoiled by their front neighbours -the Wonton Garden- the day before- they open earlier. And the dumplings are better!

The Mandarin Court is for sure one of the better dim sum restaurants in New York. I have been there 3 times for Sunday brunch and although there is always a line up to get in- you never have to wait for long. The reason I like Mandarin court is that the dim sum is always hot. You don't feel... More

I've visited Mandarin Court Restaurant in NYC three times in the past. I raved about it to my friend and we made the long walk from 55th Street down to Chinatown. I did not realize that the luncheon buffet is only served during the week, we were there on a Saturday. That left us to decide on the Lo Mien... More
