Old Mandarin Islamic

People drive to this Muslim Chinese restaurant from all over to enjoy the cook-it-yourself house specialty, Peking hot pot. A portable gas burner topped by a pot full of simmering flavored broth sits on the table, surrounded by plates of raw ingredients of your choice, such as prosciutto-thin lamb, spinach, and earthy, aromatic chrysanthemum greens. Grab a piece of food with your chopsticks, dip it in the boiling broth, then dunk it in a complex dipping sauce. Old Mandarin is also famous for Northern-style dishes like cumin lamb, stir-fried crepe with vegetables, and fish soup with sour cabbage. If you're looking for pork, go elsewhere: The restaurant is halal.
