The Dumpling Tree Bar & Restaurant in Cambridge

Fabulous experience, we booked a table quite late, they fit us in for 7pm. Amazing service and quality of food Outstanding !!! This is definately our new favourite place for sure !! They add Service Charge 12.5% but well deserved by team members who make you feel welcome and attended to. Thank you all for making my special evening lovely x oh and my plus 1 was good company too !

Lovely food and very friendly staff. Good prices. We will visit again.

It's nice I like place and food...

I love this place. The food and service are great and they often put on events which is nice to see. The parking is really convenient. I can’t wait to try more dishes from the menu. So far I’ve enjoyed the legendary noodles and the tempura mushrooms.

5-Star Review for The Dumpling Tree Amazing meal today as always at The Dumpling Tree! I enjoyed the extra spicy beef and rice noodle soup, assorted steamed dumplings (including lamb and pork), and a few pots of fragrant puerh tea. The warmth, spice, and nutrition were just perfect, especially on a cold winter’s day here in the UK. A special thank you to Tristan and Gracie for their warm hospitality and for looking after me so well. I always leave feeling well-fed, cared for, and genuinely happy. The Dumpling Tree is truly a gem, and every visit feels like a treat. Thank you for being such a wonderful place to eat every day!

fresh tasty and good value dumplings to die for

I recently visited this restaurant, and I found the food to be good and the service friendly and attentive. Unfortunately, I encountered an issue with a parking fine due to some unclear signage, which dampened the experience. However, Anthony, the owner, was incredibly helpful and proactive in resolving the situation. He went out of his way to ensure the fine was canceled and that I could get a refund from the rental company. His kindness and willingness to assist really turned things around and made me appreciate the restaurant even more. Great customer care—thank you!

Fantastic meal and plenty of choice, we wanted to order the whole menu. Thousand layered pork belly was excellent.

We had a lovely time as a large party at The Dumpling Tree. The service was friendly and attentive, and there was a copious selection of delicious vegan options. We particularly enjoyed the tempura mushrooms, hoisin walnuts and 'tofu flurry noodles'. Myself and my partner were visiting from Hong Kong, where of course we have a lot of Chinese cuisine, and it was one of the best meals we've had for a while! There is also plenty of parking and there are no steps, making the restaurant ideal for those with accessibility needs.

What a wonderful find. Food was fantastic, the pork was unbelievably tender. Definitely one to put on the favourites list

The food is utterly amazing. We are regular customers even though we don’t live in Cambridge. Parking is free which is amazing. Everyone is very friendly. And back to the food ……. It just get better and better. This is our favourite restaurant.

The food is delicious and staff is extremely welcoming and friendly. They have a nice selection of drinks and always have some interesting/fun cocktails. We love coming back here. Lot of good comfort food :) And plenty of parking space if you need to drive (parking is verified inside the restaurant).

Beautiful space, delicious food and drink

Honestly top service and great food, love the atmosphere and the cocktail prices are out of this world! 241 till 10pm everyday wow! 😎

Great food, great atmosphere and wonderful service what more can you ask for, i had the Chilli Chicken & Chicken noodles they were both excellent and would highly recommend.

Great vibe service and yummy food

delicious yunnan food，definitely will come again！

My husband found this place & we travelled in from Milton Keynes and it did not disappoint. The venue is nicely decorated, has a trendy vibe to it but the food is amazing. Very different to any other Chinese & amazing flavours & variety. Service was spot on & they went above & beyond to make my birthday lunch special. Thank you to the young gentleman who served us! Highly recommend!

Dumplings are tasty. But the Chinese mattress waitress gave us a dismissed look when we asked to exclude beef and lamb in the mixed dumplings.

Always amazing, fresh and authentic food! Great service too 👍

Perfect food and staff really nice. We came to celebrate our new house and got a Prosecco on the house. Amazing service. Really recommend.

I had a lovely dinner with my family. The food and service are great! Too good, I'll come back soon.

Quick service, really delicious food. On site parking available (validate at the bar). Good knowledge of allergens

Lovely food and a pleasant experience overall!

We had a delicious and relaxed meal and will visit again, and again!

Great dumplings and amazingly friendly/helpful staff. Thanks for a great evening.

Our first visit, having read good recommendations online and we were very impressed! Will definitely come again!

Great food as usual, service is spot on. Easy to get to and adequate parking. Looking forward to returning soon.

Great food, tasted great and came out promptly. Front of house team were brilliant. Couldn’t fault it

Amazing food at a good price Stag were great will be visiting again soon

Their dumplings are amazing, and great service for a large group. They were flexible with short notice booking and delivered amazing food. Thank you!

Edit: Okay, I appreciate your prompt pragmatic reaction, hence the negative review is removed. Good food btw

Great thank you. Very friendly staff. Service was slow but they were busy. Some more veggie a la carte options would be great please. Overall definitely recommended

I love the food and ambience. 😍

We are staying just down the road and The Dumpling Tree came recommended We were not disappointed 10/10 all round

Thoroughly enjoyed our food and good atmosphere with busy tables and background music.

Food is lovely and fresh and plentiful as always, the staff were friendly and attentive, made my wifes birthday special.

Pleasant eating experience with friendly attentive staff. Came in alone in Sunday afternoon. Been wanting to try this place! Had simple soup(only £3), crispy wings, fried pork dumplings and salt and pepper squid. First time I've ordered squid since issues with my teeth, and it went down a treat! Very yummy. Surprisingly spacious restaurant. I will return!

We did the dumpling making class yesterday and had a wonderful time learning and eating the dumplings we made, thank you!

Me and my boyfriend came last weekend and had a lovely time. Our server Josie was so welcoming and polite which made us feel so at ease as well as had amazing service with a smile on her face. Will definitely return to here in the near future.

Female staff with tattoo & piercing on the face should try to behave nicely with delivery drivers too.

This is one of Yunnan's most famous dishes. It's a hot, flavorful pork broth served separately from various ingredients like thinly sliced meat, vegetables, and rice noodles. We mixed everything into the hot broth to cook and enjoyed it very much

Had the best experience with our waiter Catriona, thank you so much! We ordered the chicken and sweetcorn soup, chicken chow mein, mixed vegetable stir fry and vegetable spring rolls which were delicious.

We had an amazing meal here- a big family group celebrating a 9 year old’s birthday. The food and service were great. Our waitress was super efficient, friendly and very patient with us!! Fabulous place. Would highly recommend!

Very good, rate 4.6 but price is high, atmosphere was great and authentic food

Beautiful ambience, lovely staff, excellent food.

Tried to pop in one weekend evening but there were no tables so takeaway instead. Nice to see they're doing well. Great dumplings as ever, also enjoyed the noodles (and my half of Neck Oil while waiting for this) 🥟😋

Great food and service - thank you very much

Absolutely above average! Incredible food and wonderful staff. Worth the trip.

Amazing service. Absolute best Chinese restaurant in Cambridge! Worth the trip out of the way to visit.

Best dumplings in town, I love this place so much. Food is excellent and the service is fast & friendly. Thank you!

Fabulous meal with beautifully prepared, authentic Yunnan dishes. We lived in Beijing 15 years ago and the Yunnan restaurants there were always our favourites - so amazing to be able to taste these dishes again. The kids (9&10 yr old) loved the wonton soup noodles and braised pork soup noodles. Extremely good service - our waitress was excellent. Really surprised (and delighted!) to receive a free bottle of Prosecco as it was my husband’s birthday.

The food was great and the staff were very friendly. Food was made with fresh ingredients and the dumplings exceeded my expectations!

I like the decor. The food was the main thing. I think well prepared and seems much more authentic than others in the area. Great noodle soup dish and dumplings look and taste home made. This is a rarity in the UK. WELL DONE!

The food is out of this world, and so is the atmosphere.

We celebrated our son's birthday and had a great time. Best service and great food very generous and for reasonable price. Been here before and definitely will be back!

Food was so delicious and affordable. Staff were very accommodating.

Food are oily and salty. Avoid the Char Siu which is cited as a signature dish. Service is good. Staff are nice and helpful.

Friendly service and lovely food

Best prawns I’ve ever had, great service, particularly this girl called Josie, what an angel. Lovely bar area too when wanting to enjoy a drink

First time here. Food was nice but everything was so dry they don’t do sauce. Need to sell some side sauces. The beef was soft but so dry. Service was ok nothing special Think the music choice was a bit odd some nice Chinese music maybe and not club bangers. Not sure adding service charge on automatically is fair in such an establishment. 153 pound bill turned in to 173. Service wasn’t 20 pound service.

Had a great time here. Lots of choice, and all dishes tried were really really nice. Pandan cake was delicious.

Very nice peaceful place. Excellent food and friendly staff. One of the favourite places in Cambridge. Now ,,spoon of tar in a barrel of honey,, My favourite dish, ,, Dirty dozen dumplings,, slightly worsened last year (doug become thicker) it's still good but before was better. One star off is for the included service charge. I always tip but I prefer to do it on my good will but not when I'm forced to do so.

Loud music and children running around the restaurant set the tone for the evening. It was almost like being at a kids party. We couldn’t hear each other speak until after the volume of the music was lowered - but one of the waiters told me he would have to text HQ to get it lowered!! The food - fiery chicken was not spicy, aromatic crispy duck was about 70% fat and was soft. Other food ordered by my family was equally poor, however some meals were still very good. Unfortunately the dumplings were not as nice as they used to be. The Dumpling Tree is dropping leaves. Then there was our waitress. Maybe there was a language problem or perhaps she didn’t understand the products sold at the restaurant. Ordering apple juice and lemonade resulted in a challenge that resulted in wrong drinks being brought to the table. Our starters arrived after our main courses. Everything was poor. Such a shame because our previous visits were very rewarding.

Excellent food, service and a lovely evening. Thank you.

I had to ask for serviettes, I though this was standard

Excellent services. The servers honestly let us know what ingredients and marinates were included for gluten-free options. The Char Siu (BBQ Pork) with Rice was delicious, so did the King Prawns Fried Noodles, which could have been even better if it was less salty and oily. Overall, a 100% satisfaction.

First visit, will be returning.

We had a great experience at Dumpling Tree. From the moment we walked in the staff was friendly and welcoming. The food was incredible and came out at a reasonable pace. We will be coming back for more!

New Menu As I have said before, it's unfair to compare any UK Asian restaurants with the ones in Asia. Actually oriental decorations like that are very rare in Asia. I guess a strong national style is very important for any overseas Asian businesses. Evitable. The decorations are impressive in the majority's eyes, but at the end the food is more important than any physical presentation. The menu has changed, very different than in the past. Changed in chef or management? I think the dumplings were much better than the past. It was obvious that they were prepared from the stretch. Impressive. The pork belly was very lean, not melt into your mouth. But at least would not damage your teeth. I can understand, the UK majority really scares of eating red meat full of marbling--they prefer hyper lean protein. Don't forget to bring dental floss if you want to order this. The soup of the rice noodles was a bit too salty. Friendly staff. Clean and nice environment. Short waiting time. Impressive dumplings. Overall it is a nice Asian restaurant in the UK.

Food was fantastic, quick to serve, good selection of food, whole family enjoyed all their meals. Happy to make a change after food ordered.

Good food, good service and staff are friendly.

Delicious! We got excellent advice on what to order. My companion said it was the best Chinese food he'd ever eaten! Everyone tried something new and the children even helped make some dumplings as it was quiet when we arrived for an early supper. Our new favourite! Will definitely return. Thank you so much for such a special meal!

Delicious food and great service.

I still think that this is the best Chinese restaurant in Cambridge, the fried dumplings being the best ever and definitely my favourite dish.

Not a big choice, what we had was very tasty

A nice place to find the home taste.

First time here. Quality food enjoyed by all. Braised pork, copper pot rice and skewers were highlights of our order. We were there early for dinner so it was quiet. Service was excellent and we didn't have to wait long for our food. I expect to return in the future.

Super fast service. The food was good! Onsite parking available.

The food was very good, but the drinks even better. The mock tails were amazing and interesting and as were the cocktails. The atmosphere and ambience was incredible and it led to an incredibly enjoyable and authentic dining experience. Though costly, this restaurant truly deserves a 5* rating for its interesting food choices arriving hot in steam baskets. Very impressive.

I ordered salt and pepper squid and it was delicious. Huge pieces of squid in a salty spicy breading were just what I wanted. For my main course I had the Bbq pork chow mien which filled me right up. The service was friendly and the dining area was clean. Next time I come here I’ll bring friends and enjoy some beers outside in the garden.

Love coming here for some proper good grub! We went on the launch of their new dim sum menu and sampled the super tasty xiao long bao and warrior bun! Also tried the Dan Dan noodles for the first time and they reminded me of my time living in Hong Kong! Friends loved it, can't wait to go back again!

The Dumpling Tree is a multi-regional food style Chinese restaurant. They serve delicious dumplings and other dim sum treats, as well as a wide selection of Chinese noodle and rice dishes. Their QR Code menu also has such hidden gems as Dan Dan Noodles, a fiery but delicious dish you must try, if you dare. Their speciality is Yunnan cuisine, which is a totally different Chinese style of cooking from what I'm familiar with. These include some brilliant pork belly dishes and one dish I intend to try next - fried Yunnan cheese, which sounds delicious. Also, be sure to try their blooming teas, such as rose, chrysanthemum, and jasmine. I highly recommend it and would definitely go there again!

Amazing as always, delicious food, fantastic service and great value. Best dumplings in Cambridge!

everything is good but not the price. obviously this is a restaurant for non-Chinese. Chinese have similar food at much better price 😂

Overall a fantastic place with great food.

Food average and over priced. Best dish was the dumplings. 3 staff we came across were not friendly at all, didn’t even check if the food was alright and not came once to ask if we wanted more drinks, etc.. Very poor service but put 12.5% service charge on automatically. Won’t be coming back

Arrived at 8.30pm on Thursday and was told by one of the two waitresses that they only do takeaway but not sit in. Please kindly mention it somewhere.

Exceptional Asian restaurant with everything you could ask for… good food, good service and lovely decor

Best food ever!!!!! I have been here several times and it always delivers!

Good food and spacious place with good decor ,a bit on the expensive side

Beautiful place with kind and attentive staff. We go there for many special occasions and are always welcomed and looked after. Delicious and filling food with generous portions. Highly recommended.

Brilliant Thai food in Cambridge. Great

Took my husband here for a birthday meal and he’s difficult to please. Safe to say it was a hit! He’s been looking for his favourites served at high quality in a restaurant with great atmosphere and The Dumpling Tree did not disappoint. We enjoyed everything we ordered and the staff were the perfect level of attentive. We even had to request some take away containers as we couldn’t bare to leave any. Can’t come back soon enough!

Amazing restaurant!! Brilliant staff!! Fantastic food!! We come here all the time and the food, service and atmosphere is always faultless- will always recommend this place to everyone. Staff members met requests with no discretion to make our meal and experience 10/10!

1 single Asian dish with 2 glasses of wine: more than 50 pounds and blah blah.

duck rice is well presented but duck is dry and fatty. seems like duck has been reheated multiple times. Totally disappointed. the only good thing is the egg. Dumpling is good when fried but stodgy when steamed. Service can be improved. Overall is ok but don’t order duck. seems like they don’t make their own roast duck and there is MSG in all dishes.

I really enjoyed our visit to The Dumpling Tree. They have decorated the venue beautifully. Outside has a lovely garden area with lights, flowers and benches. Service was good and staff were attentive. I would 100% recommend the BBQ egg fried rice with pork! It’s usually for a place in Cambridge to have parking but there is parking in the restaurant car park, but also free parking on surrounding roads. But make sure you use the iPad to enter in your number plate!

Another dinner at Dumpling Tree, fresh and delicious again.

Amazing place with delicious dumplings 🫶🏻
