Guide Review - Ming Court Chinese Restaurant - Blanchardstown
Ming Court is one of several dozens of Chinese restaurants in the Dublin area. Situated next to the busy Blanchardstown Shopping Centre (one of Europe's largest malls) it has ample parking space and good public transport connections. Positioned above a bookmaker and a video store it also surprises the visitor with its low-key décor.
Here you will find none of the stuffy atmosphere so beloved by "old school" Chinese restaurants. Instead the dining area is large, well lighted and airy, even larger parties can usually be accommodated without major problems or disturbance for other guests.
The menu is comprehensive, a good mix of the main Chinese and East Asian cuisine popular in Europe. Cantonese and Dim Sum are specialities of the house - and well worth a try. Prices vary but can be classified as being "medium range". As usual set meals for two or more persons can be a bargain. And the available lunchtime specials make individualistic eating more affordable.
