Bright Courtyard Club

Come after three years. on sat and sun they have a domain menu that they can cross and choose form. they had a decent series of Veggie dim sums. the service was very good and fast. compared to their customers in contrast to some of the other restaurants in the opposite. go back to try some of the other elements on the menu.

On a rather sunny day, we attended a radiant wedding at Bright Courtyard. On such a glamorous occasion, I felt that I had to turn up with my big sparkly camera. Hopefully, the food will look more true to life because I am making the effort. Suckling pig with jelly fish. The pig was crispy and tasty, and the jelly fish was soft and squishy.

The beef cheong fun was good, but I found the layer of rice noodle a tad too thick. Xiao long bao could possibly be one of the best I had in London, it held their broth and the skin were thin. I liked the turnip crispy puff, it was crispy and the filling was flavoursome. Other classics such as cha siu bao, chicken feet and scallop dumplings passed muster. Although the one relative let down was the side chopped up youtiao (Chinese fried dough stick) that came with the congee. By re-frying the youtiao, it lost its freshness and the texture becomes hard.

After I had dined before in the bright courtyard, I enjoyed the offer of delicious food, and was very pleased to find out that it finally delivered to my opposite. placed an order to feed four people and my total disappointment, the portion sizes were ridiculous! I ordered a lot of main dishes, and found that every dish was packed in a small disposable container that was just over the half filled and was! After I personally ordered these courts before, I know that the portions were down, (pictures to prove) and the sum of the entire portion was not enough to feed two people! I am so disappointed about this service and feel for the...read more

I’d been having an after-hours manicure in the office, as you do and C was in the market for food. This is C- nails not C- husband . C-nails is that manicurist overlap in the Venn diagram between myself and E, who sometimes appears on these pages and who works in the same building as Bright Courtyard. Some time ago, E booked it for us. Wearing my Cynthia Selfish hat, I’d told her that I’d heard it wasn’t that great and on the back of that she cancelled and we ended up at my old stand-by, Pheonix Palace . Her other half had recommended Bright Courtyard, but I was sceptical. It looked cold and empty, not to mention expensive and I hadn’t heard anyone say it was worth...read more

In a nutshell: high quality and reasonable dim sum Rating: 4/5 When I heard from Mr.Noodles that Bright Courtyard at Baker Street has great dim sum, I was desperate to try it out. Having tried 13 dishes, I definitely agree that Bright Courtyard’s dim sum is some of the best in London. The restaurant Bright Courtyard is more upper class compared to those restaurants in Chinatown. Elegant white tables, traditional Chinese tea sets and very quiet. There is no need to book even on weekends, it was half empty on Saturday when I went. The price The dim sum were on average £3.40 a plate. Three of us billed £70 so about £23 pp, reasonable. The food The dim sum were great but I...read more

I had an incredible meal here, the sort of meal that the next day I woke up still thinking about it. In my view this is one of the best Chinese restaurants in London. Bright Courtyard is located in London (on Baker Street) and in Shanghai (where the original restaurant opened in 1997) and is part of the Shanghai Life Fashion Group that owns other restaurants and hotels and whose motto is “innovation, style and quality”, which you can definitely see in the food. London’s Bright Courtyard is a contemporary Chinese restaurant that specializes in authentic dim sum, modern Cantonese and traditional Shanghai cuisine with a twist. I went to Bright Courtyard on a Friday evening as my...read more

Bright Court offers what a lot of other Chinese restaurants don’t; a tranquil environment and chaos-free service. Not only that, it also serves a range of dishes – some authentic, some fusion – that you might not have seen before, as well as the usual suspects. Plates are dressed in an elegant style, which makes the most of the meals that might otherwise come presented in a standard Asian canteen style. Classic dishes like pan-fried turnip patties and BBQ pork buns are a great way to start-off a meal. The patties are oozing with flavour and have a crunchy exterior to hold the wobbly treat together. The buns have the expected rich meaty filling, enveloped in the deep viscous sauce...read more

Left: Shanghai Dumplings aka Xiao Long Bao; Right: King Prawn Dumplings aka Har Gau Left: Sea Bass Roll; Right: Scallop Siu Mai Left: Black Sesame Balls; Right: Snow Fungus in Papaya Sweet Soup Go, just go. Surely the photos have already convinced you. I won't bang on about Bright Courtyard too much, but its dim sum is amongst the best in London . The xiao long bao were the best I've had in London whilst the har gau and scallop siu mai were top notch, too. Other classics such as fried cuttlefish cake , cha siu bao and cheung fun passed muster, although the one relative let-down was the pedestrian wu gok (taro croquette). And let's not forget the braised e-fu noodles , which were also...read...
