Authentic Chinese food cooked by very experienced chef from Hong-Kong. Excellent good quality dinner. I enjoyed it better than those in London Chinatown. Clean and hygienic too.

Delicious home made food!! We were travelling a family of four (parents with 2 daughters 9yo+3m) and we were specifically looking for a Chinese restaurant near Cambridge that had xiaolongbao. We feel very lucky to have found this place! the owner was super accommodative and nice! We arrived around 1315 for 1330 reservation but there was barely anyone there. So we had the whole restaurant for ourselves! Felt like a private dining experience!! We had xiaolongbao which was so good my 9 yo finished about 10 of them herself. Then on top of that she had some hoofun as well!! I only managed to taste one of the famous xiaolongbaos. The ingredients felt and tasted super fresh!! The spicy Sichuan Chilli oil wontons were mouthwatering and really had that authentic chinese homemade taste. The chicken feet were really tender and could just suck the meat out of the bones. The slow cooked beef salad with peppery chilli was quite special and something we haven't ordered before anywhere else, but it was really tasty and something we wouldn't be able to make. Overall we were very satisfied with the food and the service. Definitely worth a visit if you're passing through on a road trip or visiting Cambridge. Basically the vibe and food was so good that my 9yo daughter was telling me to write a good review immediately on the day (2nd April)... And I didn't get time until about week later. Parking is free but limited.

An unexpectedly good experience. I come from manchester to enjoy the scenes in Cambridge. The train will spend about four hours, so I choose to spend one night in Cambridge and I find this wonderful restaurant. Service: All the staff are very friendly. They will try their best to ensure you can choose the food you like and enjoy your food safe😂(some food is really hot, be patient.) Food: The color of the dishes are well matched and can arose appetite.The salty taste of the dish is well mastered.I highly recommend the dim food in this store, which are all made by the chef himself, rather than semi-finished products bought directly from Chinese supermarkets. Atmosphere: I think this maybe the only weakness of this restaurant. The environment is very clean, but due to space constraints, not many guests can be received at the same time. The same problem, when there are more customers, the waiter may not be able to serve every customer in time, but the space restricts it to hire more waiters. Meal suggestion: If you choose to stay in this hotel, I recommend you to try this restaurant, it will bring you a satisfying experience.

It happened that I discovered this restaurant on my way to work. It is a bed and breakfast with a chinese restaurant inside, the food was delicious. I tried the homemade fried noodles with beef (the best noodles that I have ever tried) and the prawns dumplings were another level. The staff was really friendly and helpful giving advices about the dishes and makes us feel really welcome inviting us to sit in the lounge room If we would like to. There is a small garden inside that it will be nice to visit in the spring time and summer. I definitely recommend it ☺️

A little gem of a place, and do reserve in advance as there were few tables. The beef rice noodles had wok hei and the kindo ribs were delicious. Even better if you could read the little Chinese menu. Probably the best Chinese in Cambridge. Incidentally it’s now a Cantonese restaurant, not Shanghainese.

I enjoy the food a lot here!!! These give an authentic taste of Shanghai (and Sichuan, if you pick the Sichuan options) which is rare amongst Cambridge dining places. The service is also of high quality. Would strongly recommend.

Very authentic Chinese (Shanghai) cuisine. Hand-made dim sum is my favorite. The soup I had today was cooked for more than 2 hours. Highly recommended! If you like Asian food, this Is the must in Cambridge!

Very friendly and helpful service and really delicious food. We had an early meal so were the only diners at the time so atmosphere would improve later but the hostess really looked after us without being obtrusive.

Food was disappointing. The dishes were oily and oil seems to have been reused. Will not go back. Prices were ok, but 4.5 pounds for a small bowl of fried rice is not cheap.

We went seeing 5 star rating, but unfortunately it is a drab. Food had strong smell. Oil was greasy and leaving residue on tongue....it was smelly. Will not recommend, rather request people not to get biased by rating. Vegetarian options: Rarely any veg option. Also rare chicken option. More focus on Pork, so it limited our choice.

Got stomach after this. The dishes smelled and tasted terrible. Worst restaurant in Cambridge.

Went there very often when I go to Cambridge. Love the atmosphere in the lobby. Very convenient in terms of the shop (Jiamart) and train station. I can also walk to the grand arcade.

Great, very genuine Chinese experience. The room is quite small on the back of the hotel, but the experience is absolutely worth. Great prices as well for the quality.

The food tastes fresh, it s well presented and I love seeing a variety of unique vegetarian dishes that I haven t seen elsewhere. Beautiful garden which will hopefully open for use in summer, and really great service. Will be back with friends for years to come I m sure! Thank you so much and see you soon! Vegetarian options: There s a fair few vegetarian options, just one or two vegan options Parking: A few parking spots out front of the hotel
