The food is hit and miss. We visited last week and the food was good so decided to go again. This time one of the two mains was inedible, absolutely dire. The place is mostly empty.

Seven Days Chinese Restaurant is a great place for a delicious, authentic meal The private rooms are perfect for enjoying your meal undisturbed, and the service is attentive and friendly. I randomly asked for Chinese tea during my meal*not sure if it was standard—but they brought out a lovely teapot, ready for me to share with my friend. It’s these thoughtful touches that make dining here such a pleasant experience. Highly recommended!

Visited on recommendation and tried some traditional Sichuan dishes. Though they tasted good, they're far from being authentic. Other than that, was a nice convenient place to have a meal.

Highly recommended. This place is great! I have been coming here for years and it never disappoints, if you know what to order. The best things are the green beans with mince, fish in hot chilli oil, and braised aubergine. The duck pancakes appetiser is also really good.

[2023-03-10, 16.5625/pax] Great food, just order the right stuff. Not good with sichuan dishes. yangzou fried rice - 7.5/10, good braised beef in tomato sauce - 9/10, sweet and savoury, good tomatoes. meltingly soft beef. tendons! Nice coriander taste. Normally not a fan of sweet tomato flavours beef sirloin slices stir fried - 8.5/10, very tender cuttlefish stir fry - 8.75/10, cold cucumber salad taste. saucy, savoury, oil rich. Good portion. fish in pickled greens - 8/10, interesting flavour, sour kung pao chicken - 9/10, spicy, saucy. Good sichuan kick. far cry from the sweet kind you'll get elsewhere. recommend.

I always love food here. My favourite is spicy chicken wing which is served with lots of chillies. The seasons are marinated very well and give so much flavour. Others are nice too. Good place to eat in and sharing with family and friends

I was really blessed to be visiting them again in this trip because this is one of my favorite place when I was at Cambridge Uni. Not only great & fresh seafood options and Szechuan/Sichuan cuisine, they also offer £22 ALL-YOU-CAN-EAT HOTPOT featuring a variety of meat and veggies!! You can choose up to 2 soup bases from hot & spicy, chicken or tomato tom yum and order as much as dishes as you like for your boiling pot. Let me share some of my favorites that I suggest you DO NOT MISS: -sliced beef: AWESOME QUALITY, not chewy but tender & juicy -fish fillet: OMG SUPER GOOD & DELICIOUS, great for any soup absorption -fish tofu: already one of my favorite food, and it's GREAT here -kelp: crunchy & fresh, LOVE THIS!! -tofu skin: MUST-TRY, fun to eat, delicious, healthy On top of FULL SET AYCE HOTPOT, what you can get here are the freshest seafood cooked in Sichuan style. MUST-TRY: -CHILLI CRAB -STEAMED SCALLOP Both of them are SO FRESH that you can tell from their texture. Some parts of the crab are pre-cracked so it’s easier to remove the shell. The main part at the middle is my favorite. It’s super easy to remove using only chopsticks and SUPER DELICIOUS. Scallops are really nice and easy to eat. They’re perfectly cooked and seasoned no matter you love SPICY or not. Try them together with their toppings too!! You have the option of getting them fresh to cook with hotpot too but I especially recommend order them cooked because their seasoning is SUPER NICE. OOPS!! Lastly, there are a lot of Asian drinks available to order. I got aloe vera and plum tea which are EXTREMELY REFRESHING!!

I visited this restaurant on recommendation of a Chinese friend. The food tasted authentic and delicious. I recommend coming with more than one person because the quantity per dish is a lot.

I heard many good things about the food and restaurant in general previously. When we arrived I was surprised to say the least. Rude unfriendly waitresses, it was as if we were bothering them finishing up a busy period. The service was awful, it definitely made for a bad experience. Even the food pretty mediocre and slow to serve, didn t match description on menu and looked nothing like some dishes Kim the menu itself. Giving 2 stars is being overly generous! Extremely disappointed, would have spent more and ordered more but was annoyed and frustrated. Just wanted to eat and go.

May 21, 2024

The food didnt match any of the pictures on the menu and was on the expensive side. The crispy duck was minced duck and tasted very unfresh...

Terrible terrible and again terrible stay away from this place took me ages to find what to eat and I m not picky at all once ordered food our mains came out 5min before the rice did, by the time rice is out we ve eaten half the mains, food was hot but went cold very fast , awful value for money, also they trick you into paying 10% bill at the end check the first page of the menu it says at the bottom they charge you, the issue is that the ladies barely spoke any English and service was terrible £49 down the drain and I m hungry loool

December 21, 2023

Second time we came here. First time was well over a year ago. We wanted to see if it improved but it was just as bad if not worse. Food wasn t fresh at all and you d definitely need to visit the toilet multiple times the next day if you go here. Would highly suggest people to avoid.

December 21, 2023

Very bad, the food took 1 hour to come out and the rice also arrived before the main dishes. We asked for water and they didnt bring it to us. We asked again and they didnt and on the third time I had to get up to ask for water. The service was terrible, the waitresses hardly knew English. It was very cold in the place because they dont have the heating on. The food was a little expensive and the portions were small. Very dissatisfied with this site, I do not recommend it at all.

I went into the restaurant to eat with the Hawking potato chips. I felt full of Chinese New Year flavor and was in full swing. I ordered potato chips, pickled fish and a large plate of chicken. How can I put it this way? It tastes pretty good! The price is a little expensive (understandable) and the two sisters who serve are very friendly and busy.

December 21, 2023

Mediocre food and the WORST service you can ever find in all of the restaurants in Cambridge. The younger waitress was fine but the middle-aged woman who seemed to be the person in charge has the most unpleasant face one can see in this lovely city and constantly throws her temper at customers.

Literally the WORST attitude towards customers in any restaurants Ive ever visited. Been there a few times and every time I was surprised by how rude the reception lady treated their customers. And the worst karaoke, too! Last time we ordered a few cans of coke which didnt arrive halfway through the meal, so we asked the reception lady about this. And the reply was oh huh? who did you order with? I cant see anything here with a loud voice and extremely annoyed, impatient face, no apology. Yeah we definitely ordered them with some random people in your restaurant, not with the staff. Just been there for my last time ever a few days ago. We booked a karaoke room for celebration. When we asked the reception lady and gave her our details, she couldnt find the info and again the reply was huh? what room did you book? who did you book with? I cant find anything on my book surely we should know who was on the other side of a phone call and which room we would be allocated for. And after a while she found the info on some other pages, and was extremely annoyed, like it was our fault, without any apologizing words. And I havent mentioned the karaoke system was the worst Ive ever used. There are only 600 songs in their device locally. Want other songs? No problem, download it using their 100 kb/s internet and it will just take you about 30 minutes per song. Getting yelled at, bad system, bad sound quality, constantly not working microphone, this is just amazing for some karaoke celebrations. So if you want to get yelled at for paying for food, go to this place, because the reception lady there will never disappoint you.

10/10 this place is the best. Get the dry pot if you like it spicy. Vegetarian options: Im vegetarian and there are some great options, especially the tofu skin salad as an appetizer and the homestyle tofu.

The taste of the food is getting worse and worse. I feel like the chef has changed... It seems that it will evolve into a Chinese restaurant that specializes in cheating foreigners...

The receptionist (a young man who only responds in Cantonese and English and mocked when I checked any vegan unfriendly base material)should be a bit politer and more patient to any woman who dine in alone.

December 21, 2023

Very disappointing, In Cambridge for work, my colleague and I decide to go to this restaurant, because we both like Chinese cuisine. Waiting times are very long, still happening. But it was not our surprise when instead of chicken in my colleagues dish we had shrimp... whats more, the noodles, which are very good, are in more than limited quantity.... We leave disappointed and still hungry. And no commercial gesture. Nothing to do with the Chinese at will in France. In short, I strongly advise against this place.

December 21, 2023

The food was disgusting and overpriced, feeling they could just steal my money but they still served me bad tasting food. Very disappointing from this shop, and some parts was the flavours tasting difficult to describe, and the food was overly cooked, with some unknown hair in it, told them and they apparently swapped it but still served me the same one just taking the hair out.

December 21, 2023

Completely disappointing. I used to come here and never again. Food has become very average although prices has gone up, I had better cheaper takeaway! Toilet disgusting!

I recently came to Seven Days with a friend. We had rice, a cuttlefish and cucumber dish which was delicious, an aubergine dish which was also amazing and a wet beef dish which had a slightly strange flavour that I couldn t identify but which was also delicious, although my friend wasn t so keen. It was all fairly spicy and the wait staff did warn us about this. 10/10 experience. I ll be back.

Absolutely amazing!

December 21, 2022

The portions of the dishes are small and taste bad, especially dont order the Xiangguo. Its very expensive and the portion is very small. You cant even chew the beef lobster inside, and the fat sausage is very smelly. We ordered 4 dishes and two noodles for over 100 pounds, and each dish was only half a plate! This restaurant is a complete mess! Dont go! ! !

★★★
December 21, 2022

I went for Lunch twice. The place was clean, and the waitress are polite and serves you well. I ate aubergine in fish sauce, but it was very oily. Generally quite pricy for what it serves (10 pounds per dish). I had a bit of hard time communicating with the waitress because she only spoke Mandarin. It is a convenient location, and I had a good experience here, but I wouldnt particularly advocate for this restaurant.

If you love northern Chinese Szechuan cuisine, this is the place for you. The dishes are heavily spiced, often with Szechuan pepper, a plant flower that numbs the mouth. The cauliflower with Sichuan pepper and the beef stew with that same pepper were delicious.

The taste is not good and the female staff are unfriendly and not kind

December 21, 2022

I really cant stand it anymore, so I came to Google to review it. I hope everyone will stop eating at this restaurant. I posted a post today as proof. If I go back again, I will be a dog. Why cant I figure it out? Is this landlady a discriminator against Asians? ? Or Taiwan independence? ? Or Hong Kong independence? This has happened for the second time. My friend and I went into the restaurant for dinner at 8:40 tonight. This middle-aged aunt is probably the boss (I always feel like she is awesome, but she is actually a fool. Last time I ate, I heard something like The waiter was talking about something, and he sounded like he knew everything and everything he said was right. I hate this kind of talk the most, as he thinks he is the authority and does not allow others to comment). The aunt saw that there were only two of us, so she asked us to sit at a table for two against the wall. Anyone who has been in the store knows how cramped the place is, and we cant even put our feet up. My friend and I didnt want to sit there. There were many empty tables down there, so the aunt quickly wiped another table for two people in the far left corner, but the table was not wiped clean and it was very oily. We found the waiter and said that the table was very oily. He said that it had just been wiped, so why was it so oily? Then he came to see it himself. There were oil stains on the upper left corner of the table. It was difficult to wipe off, but it was indeed dirty and unclean. We asked if someone had booked the other tables if they were empty, otherwise we would like to sit at other tables, and then the aunt told the waiter to let us go up and sit at the first table for two. Im really speechless. Does this aunt have a brain problem or is she going through menopause? Crazy? Specifically for Chinese people who speak Mandarin? ? ? ? ? ? ? Was this the case last time? What kind of stupidity is this? It is understandable that every time the middle-aged aunt sees that there are only two of us, she wants to place us at a cramped table for two. However, there is a table for four but only two white people are sitting there. I just wanted to ask, there are three empty tables for four people, it s 8:40 in the evening, and there are no customers with reservations. Why can t we choose a spacious place to sit? What s more, the food cooked now is really unpalatable. The dishes are oily, salty, and not fresh yet. As soon as you eat them, you can tell that they have been cooked for several days and were temporarily plated and heated. If my friend wants to eat Chinese food, I will definitely not go. Hope this store closes down soon! ! ! Boss lady, get out of here! ! !

Awful experience with management regarding a delivery order. Refused to refund a delivery order that was never delivered and was sent to the wrong address. Proceeded to lie about how the delivery was going to be re-sent to the correct address but it never was. Had to contact the restaurant again to be told that this was an issue with deliveroo not the restaurant (Even tho this restaurant manages its own deliveries) and how the deliverer didnt know what to do after he was in the wrong address... Along with this, the management tried to claim that the address in the app was wrong when deliveroo and any maps application shows the right address. Honestly a pathetic interaction and I hope people are more careful with this restaurant. It is always telling when a restaurant responds to issues in this manner and I wish it the best of luck.

December - first visit - takeawsy for 1 Good restauramt decor - as a chinese aught to be. A huge golden dragon ornament to greet and socialable round tables as well as smaller ones to cater for smaller groups. I popped in no expectation. And the staff gave me a menu without being snooty that I just wanted a takeaway. 10/10 so far. I opened a menu I was stunned - authentic food - I could be in London China town. I ordered Beef brisket casserole & plain rice. Again good service - no judgement. First thing to say the portion size is good - very satifying. My casserole delivered flavour, texture were spot on. The gravy coated the rice like a flavour jacket, and not drowning it. The meat was tender and the chewy bit in the brisket were just right for mouth feel and familiarity I yearn for. Price was right. I ll be going back for more and taling friends too.

December 21, 2021

I blame myself for thinking the menu was overwhelming. Page after page of food Id never seen before but it was page after page of wishing I had a larger stomach. The dining room was packed front and back with people. The atmosphere was busy but I felt welcomed as a foreigner to both proper Chinese food but also to Britain. The wait staff were obviously very busy, but who isnt understaffed and overworked these days. Cambridge is full of help wanted signs and this restaurant was no different. Even with these issues myself and the people I was with were still tended to as quickly as possible. We made our decisions on food and drink and were rewarded with all sorts of delicious and simple dishes that absolutely were worth the wait. Again the only downside was not enough time was spent on studying the menu and thats my fault. Next time I will be more ambitious for I cannot wait to be more acquainted with this resturant.

Avoid this shop. Atrocious service and quality. I tried to order delivery from Seven Days. It took an hour and half to deliver to the address just across the town and refused to apologise for the severe delay. The food is not as described and used lettuce claiming as Yau Mak Choy. The service attitude of this restaurant is extremely bad. It took an hour and a half for takeout to be delivered. The dishes also do not comply with the description, such as selling lettuce as lettuce. Please avoid visiting stores.

Scouting for a new place to eat real dim sum in Cambridge and noticed this place started serving dim sum made by hand every day which caught my attention, since most places will serve the dumplings from frozen etc. We went on a Tuesday late afternoon so the place was quiet. Our toddler s voice seemed to echo around the entire place which was slightly awkward, there was definitely a lack of buzz. We were surrounded by a student nodding off on the table next to us, and the inattentive waitresses conversations behind the bar area. 1) Worse thing about this place is service, we were pretty much the only table eating and yet they had to be prompted to give us bowls to eat from when food arrived. They had not noticed what I would deem traditional cues to refill the teapot with water, we had flag them down for simple things when really they ought to be noticing when we are the only table spending money. They didn t even give us the dim sum menu to start! We just took it from another table as we couldn t get their attention initially. 2) The staff working that day did not understand basic English, it just made the overall experience even more frustrating 3) their dim sum menu is a conservative 35 items, with 6 being rice/congee... what made me most livid is that they re not using original photos for their Facebook posts, so a bit of false advertising really annoyed me. Their photos of dim sum included very popular Cheung Fun dishes, which made no appearance in any form on their menu. I have a serious gripe with their management on this! Their own cooked food is good enough to use for advertising, so I don t see why they have to use silly stock photos showing food they don t actually serve! 4) my last complaint (but partly my fault) is that we paid for items on the bill that we didn t actually end up getting - namely the black bean chicken claws. I only realised once we got home and went through the bill. We spent almost £80 (with 10% service) for 4 adults, which is a fair amount of £££ on lunch The only thing that has warranted the 2nd is the food ~ what we did order and eat was good. We could tell the items were fresh, recently made and the portion sizes were ok given their slightly premium pricing. I would highly recommend the egg tarts, we could have eaten quite a lot more. Very impressed with their pastry chef! I don t think we will visit this place again until my chinese drastically improves. Struggling to communicate with their staff on a dead quiet afternoon ruined our family lunch. God forbid any special requirements or requests, we really would have felt helpless. Also, cash only on most days here.

Really very plain food and Im not impressed. The starters were like frozen Iceland starters. The duck was mostly fat, the ribs were over cooked and the noodles can only be described as English, in a bad way. At least it was cheaper than better restaurants, I guess.

Very good food and a huge menu.Not cosy for romance but good for excited chat and laughter.The kitchen is out-a-sight. Food arrives and empty plates leave through a portal in the wall!?..The staff are authentic but the location is not. Dont worry about washing up as they must also do that too!..Unless if,maybe you forget your cash and cards and cant pay or something.....

We came here for dinner. First of all, the waiters service was very poor. When we ordered water, we had to wait for a long time to order water. Secondly, the taste of the dishes was generally boiled fish and fried noodles were very salty. Thirdly, we couldnt feel it at all. When the service arrived, a service fee was required. The 72 Inn next door also charges a service fee. Although the service is very average, I tolerated it because at least their food is really delicious. When I paid the bill, I questioned why the boss charged a service fee. The lady boss replied, Whats wrong with our service? I was speechless. It is very unpleasant to pay for this kind of service. Although the food is promoted in the name of Hawking, the quality of the food is getting worse and worse. Mr. Huo can no longer hold back the coffin version. Bad review! Very bad experience.

Horrible service but charge for service fee which I never experienced; the food is very salty. Not recommended if you want to try real Chinese food A very bad dining experience; first of all, the food was terrible. We ordered pickled fish and noodles with fried sauce, which were very salty; the meat in the fried sauce had a strange fishy smell; the fish with pickled fish was far inferior to that of 72 Store next door. Less sauerkraut and more sauerkraut; even though the food was unpalatable, I didn t feel any service but had to pay a tip. I had to wait for 15 minutes and was asked once before the water was served. Back home we drank a lot of tea. The only advantage I give one star is the low price.

More like diarrhea for 7 days and whatever salt they use is more like calcium chloride.

The salt use in this restaurant s food is so extreme! It actually leaves salt stains on the food like the salt stain you would get on your shoes after walking on salted pavement in the Winter. It doesn t even taste like conventional table salt or sea salt! It s a salty substance but what the heck is it actually? I ve eaten here twice and both times me and the people I ate with got stomach aches and diarrhea. Both times after I ate there I had a general unwell feeling for a day after. Oh! And a few of their chicken dishes are absolutely bone infested, the bone has been cut with what looks possibley like a blunt butcher knife so there are actual bone shards. Ask them if the chicken dish contains bone or which ones don t! The servers seem to put in minimal effort. The ambiance is actually alright. But all considered I can t see myself ever eating there again.

Horrible service. Never try the place if you have a food allergy unless you are expecting the staff calls you difficult in face.

The meal delivery was extremely slow. After waiting for an hour, the three groups next to us who came later than us were all served. I told the waiter three times but they all said they were rushing. Finally, the meal arrived. Every dish was extremely salty. There was too much pepper added to the soup. The rice was too hard. I came here based on a blogger s recommendation. I didn t expect the dining experience to be so bad. I definitely don t recommend dining here. It s super. Even a sandwich from the store is better than this.
