No-nonsense service. Delicious food that gets you away from the usual offerings in English Chinese restaurants. We're hoping to return to try some more dishes. The highlight this visit was the fish in boiling chilli oil.

The food was authentic Chinese food but the flavour of the food was different to what I came across few years ago it wasn’t as great as before, maybe the chef has changed and after I finished eating for some reason my mouth felt dry no matter how much water I drank, possibly they put to much MSG in the food. It was a shame that they didn’t taste as good as before.

Service was good. As for food, we had pigs ears, deep fried ribs, cauliflower hearts, and rice. The pigs ears were sliced very thick and really tough. The ribs were also really tough, bordering on inedible. The cauliflower hearts were nice. The rice had been cooked for so long that the texture was all mushy. We hardly had any of the ribs and pigs ears but packed it up to take home just in case we can salvage the dishes in any way. Also the toilets looked as though they had not been cleaned in a while.

We went to the Chinese restaurant called “72 China” at around 8 pm on 20th Aug. 2023. But unfortunately, we had to experience discrimination by the staff. We ordered a dish named “squirrel fish” but the fish was definitely not fresh at all. It had a very strong fishy taste and smell despite being deep fried and covered in strong seasoning and sauce. As a result, we told them that the fish tasted off and not fresh. The staff took away our dish and told us that it was our problem and not theirs. We were in disbelief at how they treated us after we made a complaint, and when we tried to reason with them, they refused to listen to us. They tried to talk over us and intimidate us when we told them that their fish was bad. They were unapologetic, rude and loud. They tried to intimidate us as they were 2 guys and we were 3 girls (me, my girlfriend, and my friend). They tried to scare us off by talking very loud and over us. They said all the fish tasted like this and then said it tasted bad only because it was cold. Even though we told them we had this dish before in this restaurant and we tasted it as soon as it arrived. They should have a CCTV which can prove we tried the dish as soon as it arrived. They refused any sort of negotiation and kept using different excuses until we said this could be settled by the police. We believe we were discriminated against by this restaurant, as when we checked the online reviews afterwards there were other Chinese that reported similar problems and behaviours from the staff of this restaurant. The staff are always rude to Asian customers but have a very different attitude towards non Asian customers. 2023年8月20日晚上8点左右,我们去了名为“72中国”的中餐馆。但不幸的是,我们不得不经历员工的歧视。 我们点了一个名为“松鼠鱼”的菜,但这条鱼一点也不新鲜。它有很强的鱼腥味和气味,尽管它是油炸和涂上强烈的调味料和沙司。 结果,我们告诉他们,这条鱼味道不好,不新鲜。工作人员拿走了我们的菜,告诉我们这是我们的问题,而不是他们的问题。我们不相信他们在我们投诉后如何对待我们,当我们试图与他们讲理时,他们拒绝听我们的话。 当我们告诉他们他们的鱼不好的时候,他们试图谈论我们,恐吓我们。他们毫无歉意,粗鲁而响亮。他们试图恐吓我们,因为他们是两个男人,而我们是三个女孩(我,我的女朋友,我的朋友)。他们试图把我们吓跑,大声地对我们说话。 他们说所有的鱼都是这样的,然后说它的味道很糟糕,只是因为它很冷。尽管我们告诉他们,我们以前在这家餐馆吃过这道菜,我们一到就尝了。他们应该有一个闭路电视,可以证明我们一到就尝过这道菜。 他们拒绝任何形式的谈判,并一直用不同的借口,直到我们说这件事可以由警方解决。 我们相信我们受到了这家餐厅的歧视,因为当我们检查网上评论时,还有其他中国人从这家餐厅的员工那里报告了类似的问题和行为。员工对亚洲客户总是很粗鲁,但对非亚洲客户却有着截然不同的态度。

It’s the first time for our family here but definitely not the last. We family enjoyed the food here as they served authentic Chinese. If anyone like to know what is the real Chinese food and this is the one. Have read the other comments and I would laugh someone’s low rating. I can see the staffs worked really hard because it’s a very very busy restaurant. The queue is long and people have great patience for the place they can have the home feel taste. This is the best proof and it’s enough. I can’t say this is the best Chinese restaurant but they are doing their best. You have my respect and support! Thank you to 72. China!

This is a Sichuan restaurant located in Cambridge. A very popular restaurant with a nice Chinese theme set up. The restaurant serves a wide selection of spicy Sichuan food. Their Pouched Chicken in Sichuan Spicy Sauce and the Fragrant Pot (香锅) are good. Service is reasonable but during peak hours, the waiting time may be slightly longer. Cleanliness is acceptable. Prices are reasonable. Cash and cards are accepted. There are a number of steps within the restaurant. Handicapped patrons on wheelchairs will have difficulties patronising this restaurant. 25-07+2023 ; Restaurant operating without any Covid-19 restrictions. Crowd is back to normal. Prices had inevitably increased but still competitive. Their Double Cooked Sliced Pork and Pouched Chicken in Sichuan Spicy Sauce are good. Both are recommended.

I've never had Chinese food in China, but I'm pretty sure that this is as close as you can get in Cambridge. @72 makes zero effort to adapt to the British palate, and that's what makes it great. The food is up there with anywhere else in Cambridge and the prices are very reasonable. If you aren't used to Chinese food, go with an open mind and you will enjoy it.

Great food and excellent location. The family run restaurant has a good vibe and the dishes are tasty without being greasy or heavy. Genuine pu'er tea and the best wanton soup I have had anywhere in the world. Be aware that you need to be specific to the menu. The young waitress who served my food was not fluent in writing mandarin and had to copy from the menu to communicate the orders to the kitchen staff. Therefore, be sure to indicate the exact dish you want on the menu and if there is a specific dietary requirement, make that explicit.

I was there last week and I was disappointed by the food I oredred, I am a regular customer to this restaurant for almost 6 years now but last time I visited really didn't like the foods at all and I think the owner change the chefs because we were waiting for almost an hour for our food to be ready ( normally foods took 15/20 minutes to be ready ) . We order Crispy Aromatic Duck and Vegetable Springs rolls and 2 Checken black Ben Sause and 2 rice , the foods delivered randomly and not in order at all , the Duck was looking old and taste different, the Spring onions were ok , the chicken black Ben sauce were taste different and the Egg fried rice were disgusting. I hope the owner will change the chefs or bring the previous one but if he will continue like that he will lose a lot of customers.

This is a rough and ready Chinese food joint. We come here now and again to get authentic Chinese food. Don’t expect polished service, you have to overlook the rough edges but the food is great. Try to come early, around 6- 6.30 and your fellow diners will be mainly Asian- a good sign that the food is the real deal. Dish highlights are the salt and pepper squid, spinach in peanuts and vinegar and the fish in boiling oil with Szechuan pepper and chilli.

Terrible service all round Unapologetic poor service, clearly uninterested in whether our meal was going ok. Long wait for any food, then our rice and half of our main courses arrived with our starters so that our food was cold by the time we were eating it. When we finished, cold food and dishes left on table, no attempt to clear. No interest in whether we wanted anything extra, any additional drinks etc. To top it all, had the cheek to add a service charge to already steep prices.

Ate here as part of an eight person group, at the recommendation of a member of the group who originates from Wuhan that considered this restaurant to be highly regarded by the Chinese community for authentic Chinese dishes. I had also heard great recommendations previously. To me, alarm bells were ringing when we were shown into the basement to be seated in a small room with a round table, adjacent to their toilets, stock room and cleaning cupboards. Service was particularly dire, it was clear nobody gave a hoot about the actual experience of the customer, but friends assured me that often, the worse a service is, the greater the restaurant and that uncaring, blunt and boring service is instilled into the culture. The food, however, was magnificent (when it did finally arrive). It had taken a while for them to prepare but each person did order a dish with another added to the equation so there was much for the restaurant to cope with, and the food was incredible. There was a mixture of excessively spicy dishes and delectable sweet and sour dishes with each cooked to tasty perfection, whether it was the battered/fried sweet and sour fish, or the simplistic veggies, it was all delicious and has redeemed what otherwise appears to be a somewhat rundown and dismissive restaurant when it comes to their upkeep, cleanliness and their customer care.

Amazing sichuan food, much better than sichuan / hunan food in Hong Kong of the same price level. Service is good. There are non-spicy dishes for children or friends that couldn't take even a bit of spicy food. The quality of the non-spicy dishes are also quite well. Unlike many sichuan restaurant in Hong Kong and the mainland China which simply mixing chilli and meat / vegetable that are not fresh with a lot of MSG, their spicy dishes are fresh that you could tell the taste of the ingredients. The spiciness of a decent sichuan food should not be too strong and overwhelm the original flavours of meat / vegetable. I recommend: cold dish: Fuqi feipian(Sliced Beef and Ox Tongue in Chilli Sauce). The sauce and the sliced bamboo are so great. Hot dish: Spicy roasted fish in pickled pepper style.

So this is a VERY good Chinese restaurant. Having lived in Asia I know. In fact for what it represents, it is the best authentic restaurant in Cambridge that I've been to. Service quick, smooth & attentive. Large varied, if not exciting Chinese menu, being particularly strong in Sichuan (spicy) food. Rice quantities however poor I thought (Probably because we weren't Chinese) This was not good enough. Restrooms poor. But survivalable. I recommend this restaurant.

There is no way that a non-Chinese speaker can navigate through this app. How is this a thing? Update 25/05. Tried to order via Deliveroo.

I prefer spicy food, so I've not had much of the Cantonese selection, but I've tried most of the classic Sichuan dishes here.This place does the best Chinese food I've ever had -- which makes it the best Chinese food in Cambridge, and better than the Sichuanese restaurants I've explored in London and Hong Kong. I've never been to Sichuan so I can't comment on the authenticity of the dishes confidently, but my impression is that they are all pretty darn authentic.The manager is very friendly, always remembers my typical orders and asks me how spicy I'd like it on a particular day. Most of the waitstaff are typical Chinese restaurant staff but perfectly fine -- typically not as much artificial friendliness as people may expect from Western restaurants, but I've never experienced any rudeness from any of them.The dishes are often moderately spicy as standard, although you can order a different spiciness level if you want. You might need to go a couple of times to convince them you're serious, but they can do amazingly spicy food if you request it. This is the only Chinese restaurant I've been to in my life where I've barely been able to finish a meal (of course, only on the rare self-imposed occasions when I ask for extreme spicy).If you like Chinese food and you like spicy food, 72 China should be #1 on your list to check out in Cambridge. If you don't like spicy food, I can't really speak for you, but even my friends with non-spicy tastebuds recommend here.

The food at @72 China is nice, tasty, and fresh. The service is not always spot-on, so I definitely wouldn't recommend them to someone just willing to grab a quick bite.

建议男老板跪下来为外国人上菜,骨子里的JIAN令人作呕。建议去吃的中国人进去后先看看周围有没有外国客人,如果有的话,相信我,你将会受到“一小时上一个菜并且叫老板过来 老板连正眼都不会给你”的极致服务,并且你还需要为这恶心的服务给钱哦。 说实话有这钱宁愿给homeless都还能收到一句感谢呢。我们来吃过很多次,也和身边人推荐过这家,但是现在不断涨价 菜也在变少,这都算了。就这个服务态度,谁去谁就会变的不幸 GOOD LUCK

Good food quality. The dumplings 🥟 are delicious. However, some of the dishes were too spicy 🥵 for me to eat. The sour white fish noodles 🍜 had lots of green chillies and all my mouth (and stomach afterwards) was in pain, even though I ended up eating only the fish. It would be nice if the menu had some indication of how spicy the dishes are. On the other hand, the menu is full of pictures, so it’s easy to figure out what each this is. The English can be very weird at times (check attached photo of “desort” 😅). The service could be a bit better. We had to insist several times until we got some tap water. If you like spicy food, you’ll probably love everything. Next time I think I’ll stick to dumplings 😅🥵🌶

Came in there, the place is crowded and not enough chairs for everyone. Ordered a love tea and they forgot about it completely, then after 20 minutes I got a latte for £3.50.

By far the worst deliveroo experience I’ve had since I’ve started with deliveroo 3-4 years ago! I ordered four dishes from the restaurant, and it was delivered 50 minutes after the original delivery time! One dish had way too much ginger in it, and the other was dry with way too many peppercorns throughout! The driver showed up down the street from my house and called to have me collect the order from the Driver's side window! NEVER AGAIN!! The food was lukewarm at best when I plated it. Spend your money elsewhere because this isn't the restaurant for it!

Restaurant has changed into a tourist trap AVOID.We used to frequent the restaurant prior to COVID and were generally happy with the experienceSince Covid however they have hiked prices by circa 15% (which compounds with the 10% service charge)Portions have been reduced by circa 33% especially where meat is concerned.I left the restaurant hungry having eaten my main.Not surprisingly the restaurant is now dead and lacks ambiance and atmosphere (regulars already got the memo since reopening I feel).Truly a terrible experience. Such a shame as it was a nice restaurant.

We had hot pot, we got a soup and there is unlimited buffet what you can do in it. It was really good, not as good in Asia, but almost there. The price is quite high, but if you eat a lot it is worth it. I will return one day.

This is absolutely the worst Chinese restaurant in Cambridge (probably the worst in the world). I strongly advise you not to go unless you want to be treated like a pariah. Horrible service, ignorant and aggressive owner, deserve to be bankrupted by the pandemic. Zero sympathy. 之前看评论就知道这家店的人都是吃了炸药的,怪我还尝试了一次:我担保“气死尔栈”绝对是剑桥、英国乃至欧洲吃过最差的中餐厅,没有之一,真的是无与伦比的烂。需要你不断安慰、照顾店员的情绪,稍有不当就会受到极不耐烦的呵责,真是莫名其妙,那个像皇太子一样的男的你怎么不住在故宫里当大爷,而要来这异国他乡开餐厅?拉入黑名单,就当为滞留英国的难民捐了点钱了

Awesome place, better than the ratings suggest. ORder off the Sichuan food menu, that's where the gems are!

We have been regular visitors since this place opened, because their sechuan selection is great, plus because they don't close in the afternoon like make other places do after lunch hour and before dinner. And, because it's 2020, they are one of the few places who strictly adhere to the 2m distancing between tables.
