Tiny shop with the absolute best food! Soup dumplings are why we drive up from Stansted. The spicy Udon is spicy whilst the Wonton soup is perfect. I always want to try new dishes but I can’t veer from the tried and true!

Highly recommended Chinese restaurant serving a large variety of Chinese food. We came twice in 3 days; once as a couple and another in a group of 9. Food was excellent on both occasions. In particular I liked the pork belly with egg on rice, pork ribs in noodle soup, dumplings (fried n steamed) and apple dumplings for dessert. Slow cooked chicken broth , pork hock with rice and beef shank noodles were great too. Overall, this restaurant is a must visit if you are craving for Chinese food. Lady owner is from Shanghsi and was very friendly too. Restaurant is tiny so go early to avoid being turned away. Reservation is possible.

A great HK diner-style place. Reasonably priced with a small but perfectly formed menu. This was a great place to come for a solo evening meal - I was seated in the window and got to watch the world go by. Noticed they did a dumpling and coffee afternoon deal - would definitely come back for this!

this has to be one of my favourite restaurants. even though its pretty small, i always have a lovely experience here and the staff are quick, efficient and treat their customers nicely. there is a button to call staff over if you need help so you dont need to stand at the register or anything and instead they will come to you. the menu has a lot of selections to choose from and lets you know its temp/vegan by the colour of the text. their chicken dumplings are always on point; definitely a personal recommendation from me, and their ice milk tea tastes like no other ive ever had! im always ordering those two. if i was able to rate this restaurant out of 100 instead, it would get that 100. dont miss out on a chance to come here!!! the prices ranges to about 15£ per person. usually about 3 people getting 3 things each finalises to around 50£

Super friendly late night service. Quick, tasty and full of flavour! We had tea, shared fried pork dumplings, steamed pork dumplings and pork bao buns. My hubby ordered the hot & spicy #115c beef noodle soup. There was sooooo much delicious flavour in the broth. This place is clean and fast. Definite recommend!

Genius cooking, proper Chinese without the excesses in salt, umami and sweet so common in UK restaurants. The dumplings are top notch but there are plenty of other traditional and modern dishes. Reasonably priced and with friendly service. Great for couples, friends and families.

This noodle dish is simply bad. It’s made with instant noodles and even tastes worse than regular instant noodles you buy at a random grocery store. 0/10

4.5 not perfect but homely. 2nd visit with friends Xiaolongbao is a little dry inside. The dough is perfect, so I would suggest adding a little more broth jelly to the filling. At present it’s better to have it as grilled soup dumplings 生煎, which I remember was fantastic though different from the mainstream. Spicy beef shank is decent. Not spicy but nicely seasoned. Scallion noodle 蔥油拌麵 should have more fried scallions from an orthodox Shanghainese point of view, although it still tastes good with the light soy sauce flavor (and I know my mom would be the kind of person to order scallion noodle with less scallion :3). The pork rib is well cooked and tender. On the sweeter side it I won’t quibble. Waiting time can be quite long because it’s a husband and wife kitchen. The price is of good value and food is still worth the wait. Roast Duck udon also looks fine, while the spicy seafood bowl maybe a little artificial according to my friends— well I’d always stick with Shanghainese dishes here (。ì _ í。) —— Enticed by the shop name as a Shanghainese and finally found my opportunity to visit after meeting my supervisor. Soy milk does have a toasty scent of fresh ground soya. 生煎 grilled dumpling is different from my expectation. The bottom is nice and crispy and the filling is homely, not too oily, and gently flavored. However, unlike the fluffy (boazi-like) dough I remembered, this one has an unleavened skin like regular dumplings, making it more like grilled giant soup dumplings with thicker skin— on the brighter side, since they are able to grill a giant soup dumpling, I now have higher expectations for soup dumplings 🤔️. (*some might say it resembles the unleavened thin-skinned xiaoyang grilled dumplings but these are way better than the chain’s greasy filling.) A nostalgic and lovely aroma wafts out of the kitchen. Food needs time but it seems to be made to order. A hearty wife and husband shop indeed. (May I offer to help ☺️ Looking forward to coming back with friends (to share more large dishes) or after supervisions :> A little pricy but it’s in Cambridge not Shanghai and memories are priceless. (The chairs at the bar are a bit too low for the petite me😅

Great addition to the Cambridge noodle scene. There are many average noodle restaurants in Cambridge .but your dumplings is above the average. Good and varied menu. We tried the Soup dumplings, Prawn dumplings and the beef soup. Each dish was tasty and flavoursome. Not the biggest restaurant, but, big enough to be comfortable. Great find for us. Big thank you also for the warm welcome we were given.

Ordered the Xiao Long Bao (mini steamed pork dumplings), it was a disappointment that only 2 of the 6 actually had juice inside. Also ordered 生煎 (fried pork dumplings, see picture) as it was the name of this place. Unfortuanately it turns out to be quite differnt from the Shanghai style. The skin was soggy, not crispy as it should be. Ordered the wanton soup and it was quite tasty. The wait was around 20 min when it does not seem so busy. It accepts card but at an extra cost compared to paying by cash or through Chinese paying apps. Assuming it is typical of places like this.

I try not to order soups in Chinese restaurants (even in Asia) because they are often too salty, oily, or taste like MSG-flavoured water. The soups served in this restaurant are genuinely an exception. It is my third time returning to this place for soup, and the quality has always been consistent. My personal favourite is the chicken soup, but the pork-based broths are equally outstanding! Naturally delicately sweet (likely from the carrots and shaoxing wine) with a umami-rich flavour profile, this steamy bowl of nourishing, clear (no hint of any scum!) chicken broth will warm you to the bone, and will get rid of any sniffles. The soup comes in a big bowl with generous portions of bok choy, shiitake mushrooms, black fungus, chicken, glass noodles (mung bean noodles), potatoes, carrots and ginger. Given how flavourful the soup is, it is no surprise when I was informed by the kind lady at the counter that the soup was simmered for at least 4.5 hours before serving! It is so rare to find a place with such excellent Asian soups, and I honestly hope this home away from home is here to stay for a very long time… :)

Not just wonderful food (the soup dumplings were absolutely delicious and the salt and pepper squid some of the best I've ever had) but service that goes above and beyond. I accidentally left a bag in the restaurant with an expensive item of clothing I had purchased and when I emailed in a panic, not only did Maggie the restaurateur agree to keep it safe, but she quickly posted it back to me in London. Maggie was also nice enough to lend me a phone charger when I was stranded waiting for my parents as my phone had died. A wonderful place that I'm very glad I stumbled into and can't wait to return!

Newly-opened Chinese dim sum and noodle bar, a short distance from the main thoroughfares and crowds. We ordered a range of dim sum (prawn and veg dumplings, spring onion pancake, tea egg, salt and pepper squid, custard buns and more) and everything tasted superb. Tea was also loose leaf. The seating area itself, though very simple, was laidback and restful, with large windows onto the street, and the lady who served us had a wonderful smile and calming manner. We visited on a Thursday evening and it was sadly very quiet inside. Please visit and help this place flourish!!

Right in front of the station taverns it’s location is ideal, on top of the reasonably late opening hours and ideal location, it’s a repeat stop off when coming home or picking people up from the station. I’ve had the spicy chicken burger and loaded fries, both were absolutely delicious and hit very different spots. The spicy burger is HOT, I love spice and it’s not melt your mind hot but a bigger kick than you think (I love it). And the guacamole on the loaded fries take the bacon, it’s so so tasty (if you can ask for extra)

I could rave about the wonderful, engaging and generous staff. I could rave about the mind/s behind the continually uplifting culinary invention. I could rave about the winding embracing wine list. I could rave about the holistic magnificence that is 22. I could I could I could. I refrain from the rave. Take two people off the weekend wander and welcome. I won’t go into detail. Just the duck. The rebounding touch of the knife, the colour, the texture, the skin my god the skin, the thin humble fat layer lighting horizon wide the palate, while Bach notes of bright pepper sparkle in upright dancing pear salad and languid dots of sorcery. Not just the duck. I should also say the raspberry of the pre-desert and the blackberry of the desert exemplify real untainted fruit talent, if you can taste, if you know the ingredient, if you have the 22 artistry to pivot perfection then … A star richly deserved and I venture a second soon; it’s that good. Bravo.
