We were visiting Cambridge for a few days and we particularly like oriental food so we decided to visit the Café Oriental and Dumpling Bar. We have eaten oriental food all over the world, so we were exciting to try this place. We were not disappointed. Firstly, all the people who worked there were very pleasant and welcoming. We ordered the Pork Fillings Fried Dumpling, Stir-Fried Ho Fun with King Prawns and Braised Beef Brisket with Rice. The flavours were very good, just slightly different from those dishes we have had before, but still very good and such a reasonable price too. There was free tap water and we also had Jasmine Tea which was very refreshing. The only down side was that to use the toilet one had to leave the restaurant and walk down the street and down a side street to the back of the café only to find a single toilet, guarded by an Chinese/Asian guy and if it was in use, (which is was when I went), then you had to wait quite a while during which time the food was going cold in the café/restaurant. I would certainly recommend the food at this Café Oriental and Dumpling Bar, but make sure you will not need to use a toilet.

Amazing food and services! We came here with my parents and the food did not disappoint at all!! Dumplings, both soup ones and fried ones, were all tasty and the chili sauce on the side made it even better! The waitresses who served us last night were super helpful and friendly. We would definitely come back for more dumplings and would highly recommend this place!

I enjoyed eating here but please could it be mandatory to state the use of MSG in food preparation. I have not had a problem with it from other establishments, but the excessive use from this one has caused an unpleasant stomach upset, sweating and a headache that still hasn’t gone since I ate there yesterday. I understand it is a flavour enhancer, and the food tasted great but I have certainly paid for it.

My favourites are the lamb and coriander dumpling and fried beancurd. We ordered seconds it was that flavoursome. Would highly recommend this place. Please be aware they only accept cash, and their veggie/chicken/lamb options are limited. Pork and Beef dominate the menu. Nonetheless it’s worth a try.

Absolutely disgusting food. The reason I leave feedback again is because my earlier one was removed. We dined here based on Tripadvisor reviews.... We had cabbage salad, which looked - and tasted like - someone already chewed it once. Then the main dish had chicken drumsticks chopped up with the skin and the bone. I thoug if you chose a main dish in a restaurant like this and the meat is chicken, it would be chicken breast. If this was my first experience with Chinese food, I would never eat it again. My suspiscion was confirmed when I saw my feedback was removed within a few hours...This is how this place keen keep their good reputation. The food is nothing like it is on the photo on Tripadvisor. Avoid!

Best Asian food restaurant in the middle of Cambridge City centre. Food is simply unbelievable, especially the dumplings. Main dishes are very good and depend on your selection and this restaurant tries to unify many distinct asian plates. The place is tiny with deliveries entering the place every three minutes and that does not help the atmosphere. Another issue is that it is cash only but this is well explained in the front door.

They offer an impressive variety of dumplings, which taste quite authentic. In fact overall there's a solid variety of Northern and Canto dishes, including dim sum. Generally decent British-Chinese fare, although I found the black pepper chicken wings a bit too bland for my taste...

Excellent food and excellent staff, but the manager wouldn't stop berating every member of her staff. It was very off-putting, she was picking at everything and her staff looked very nervous to get everything right. The fact that she moaned at them equally shows the problem is with her, not with them.

The food was very good, as the service. The prices are very reasonable as well, so in that sense I'd recommend everyone to go! The only thing is they only accept cash, so there is always the possibility they do it for tax evasion purposes (I'm not saying they do it because of that), and I'm usually a bit reluctant to support them. I don't give them 5 stars because they don't accept cards at all. I think that's something every business should do. Even stalls on the market accept them!

When a friend first brought me here, I immediately fell in love with the place. The atmosphere is simple, looks like a typical noodle house you may find in China. The prices are very good, where you can have a full bowl of noodles or 15 dumplings under £10. The food is great, and feels authentic. I always come and order #51 which is the braised beef noodles and a side order of crystal king prawn dumplings. The waitress is efficient and sweet. I understand when some say the sides were served separately as its happened to me too, so maybe when you order ask to have them all served together. Will continue to come to this lovely cafe, even if it means driving 45 minutes each way!

Where to start? I chose tha place based on the reviews on here. I am buffled about why this place is so highly rated. To start with if 2 sides are ordered, both cold, they should come at the same time. The same applies to the mains. The bamboo salad was a tiny, soggy, overpriced dish, the other one had huge, unchopped wood ear mushrooms thrown on a plate with a bunch of other, mostly raw vegetables. I could not decide whether it was supposed to be a steamed side dish cooled down or a raw one. When I tried to choose a main dish I found "chicken leg", more chicken leg, fried, minced pork, fried chicken leg, chicken wing, maybe a single dish made of beef, some king prawn and duck. From past bad experience, I was not brave enough to try the duck. The sauce of my dish was okay but not a single piece of chicken breast. Stripes of chicken thighs half cooked. My partner's dish had possibly chicken thigh chopped up with the skin left on. No blackbean sauce, no proper bamboo, no shiitake mushroom, no kung po, no sweet and sour, no spring rolls. The quality of meat on the menu as well as in the dishes are non-existent at this place. I felt sick when I was leaving...

My favourite Chinese café in Cambridge! great food, good portion size for what your paying. The café is casual dining with a few tables, so it might not be suitable for a large group (i.e. more than 5people). They offer a wide range of food from panini, toasty, jacket potato to oriental food such as dumplings, noodles and rice dishes. This place can get very busy but the food is alway good and the waiting time isn't long at all ( worth the waiting ). The staff are quite helpful and they try their best during busy times. I would recommend this restaurant for breakfast, lunch or dinner. They also do takeaway!

Small but authentic Chinese restaurant with a good selection of dumplings, rice dishes, noodle dishes, and side dishes. My partner ordered a curry braised beef rice dish and I ordered a spare rib soup noodle. We also got a fried dumpling dish and beef tripe to share, and all were flavourful. There were loads of options I’d be keen to try - it’s great to see a Chinese restaurant offer authentic dishes like duck tongue and pig’s ear - and I look forward to coming back! Place is cash only and dishes are reasonably priced.
