    Anyone who knows me knows that if there's an bao shaped opportunity, I'm all over it. The severe…read moredearth of bao-related goodness in my otherwise perfectly satisfying city is something that continues to baffle and upset me in equal measure. Bristol's effort was very good. Not quite Dim Sum Su level. Or Bao in London. But very respectable indeed. Took advantage of the very reasonable deal - 2 bao with fries for £8.50 which was plenty to fill me. The chips seemed a bit of a curveball, as not something I'd normally pair with bao, but it worked ok and they were cooked well. The bao themselves were lush - fried chicken with chilli mayo and daikon, and the amusingly named Chairman Bao with confit pork belly, hoisin and peanut dust. Shame they didn't have the shrimp bao as it sounded delicious but understandably it's their biggest seller, and I arrived late. The buns were soft and pillow-like, and the filling nice, albeit not exactly plentiful. Overall a solid 4*, and well worth a lunch trip, or light-ish dinner. It's BYOB as well, which I didn't realise.

    This was my first taste of the famous bao buns and they were lovely! I tried Char Sui pork, pork…read morebelly, satay chicken and grilled chicken (with a side of gyoza for good measure!). The best thing about two of you eating is you get to try a selection, 2 bao would be enough each with a side for a meal. These fluffy buns made me very happy and were pretty reasonable. The pork belly was a bit fatty but apart from that, delicious! Plus the staff were very happy and helpful which always helps. Definitely a fan!

    NOTES: ~ This review is for delivery ONLY! I haven't…read moreactually been to the restaurant itself. Since it was a super windy day, I decided to celebrate Chinese New Year staying in instead; a lot of my usual favourites weren't open since CNY is as big as Christmas in the West, so decided to try Dragon Court. From the look of their menu, it was decently authentic and I refused to celebrate CNY with Westernised Chinese food. All in all, I was incredibly pleased with my meal! Mind, their delivery menu is not as vast as their in-restaurant one, no idea why. However, there's still a relatively decent selection to enjoy! Highlights: ~ Yangzhou Fried Rice -- This is my favourite type of fried rice and Dragon Court definitely did it well. Perfectly cooked and just the right amount of flavour! ~ String Beans -- I adore Chinese string beans. If you don't like them normally, I highly recommend giving it a try Chinese-style, it's absolutely perfect! Went very well with the fried rice. ~ Potstickers -- No juice inside, but really plump and delicious! I would definitely order them again. ~ Ha Gao -- Shrimp dumplings with a rice wrapping, my favourite type of dim sum and Dragon Court definitely did them well. --- If you've read my reviews before, you know that I'm really picky when it comes to delicious authentic Chinese food. I give Dragon Court my stamp of approval - they certainly delivered on the goods! **BONUS: Kudos to the man who delivered to us fighting the heavy winds to get to our doorstep!

    In my opinion, currently the best place for dim sum in Cardiff! It gets busy on Sunday so there…read moremay be a bigger wait - its dim sum rush hour. Service is usually good with a majority of Chinese-English bilingilual staff. Highlights: The egg custard buns with the liquid centre! Also the usual dim sum fare; har kau, siu mai are good. The three roast rice is a personal favourite. Tips: You can ask for a bigger teapot if you have a large party and don't want to ask to refil it constantly. Edit: The chef has since changed, and food/ quality of service has been inconsistent, bit i still maintain that its my favourite place for dimsum in Cardiff.

    Cardiff has a couple of really good Chinese restaurants, and the Riverside Cantonese is one of…read morethem. Take no notice of the slightly plain-looking exterior, because inside it's quite smart, very friendly and serves great food every time. Their crispy duck is delicious, as is the grilled satay chicken - and besides many meat dishes they also have some lovely fish mains on the menu, including dishes with Monkfish, Scallops and Red Snapper - and plenty of veggie options. Apart from offering a varied menu, they also have a number of Set Menus which are good for sharing - offering excellent value. I've only ever eaten here in the evening, and didn't realise until reading other reviews that they also serve dim sum in the afternoons - so that's now on my list of things to try sometime!

    The exterior decoration provides some clue as to what to expect inside at the Riverside Cantonese…read moreRestaurant. It is incredibly well maintained, despite the general dilapidated look of the immediate area surrounding it. I would go so far as to say that this is the best Chinese restaurant in Cardiff, it's certainly my favourite. Renowned for their inexpensive dim sum on a Sunday, getting a seat can be pretty tricky. But they serve dim sum every night - you just have to ask for the special menu. The staff are great, they'll stop to have a laugh and joke if you are inclined to get conversational, but regardless of this the service is prompt. They really know what they're doing. The interior is light and airy with well spaced tables and decent décor. It's easy to spot a well cared for restaurant, and the food always corresponds to the standards
