In March, we traveled from Canada to the UK and arrived in Cambridge. My parents didn't want to eat Western food, so we chose this Chinese restaurant. The taste of the dishes was average, but acceptable. However, the service was very poor; the waiters didn't even smile and made us feel as if we owed them money. When we paid in cash at the end, the waiter pretended not to know anything about the 10% discount for cash payment.

Food is delicious. Crispy roast pork is excellent. Lucky to have this near by as you won't find better crispy roast pork anywhere!

20240403 Heard good comments, ordered deliveries, still impressed by the food here. 雙拼:叉燒&脆皮豬肉 Char Siu is beautifully seasoned and colored and comes a good balance of tender lean meat and a little fat. Crispy pork belly is really crispy, without being too oily. There can be maybe a little more salt/pepper in comparison with the char siu, but tasty nonetheless. The sauce is delicious and not greasy at all. The cabbage at the bottom is wonderfully soaked in flavor. 蘿蔔糕 Turnip cakes are house-made and quite different from the common ones. There are much more turnip than flour. The flavor is also mellower. The texture is juicy, soft, melts in mouth. The shell has a crispy layer of potato starch. 蝦醬通菜 Morning glory with shrimp paste is amazing. The sauce is thick and generous, and it used ginger instead of garlic, which gives it a less pungent but warmer sensation. Not too much oil either. 海鮮豆腐煲 Seafood and tofu clay pot it’s not a salty, as it usually served in restaurants, which is good. The shrimp and scallop and squid, appear plump and fresh. The tofu is also nicely fried, but not drenched in oil. The only downside is there’s much more food and seafood so the recommended fish clip may be a more economic choice. The plates are small but the food are stacked tall. We emptied them all. (Accidentally rhymed XD (As far as I can remember from my covid era deliveries, their chow fun and noodles should be good too) The vibe is traditional/nostalgic. Food comes super fast. The staff are really friendly. And it’s nice to be able to look at the meat in the half open kitchen. The rice bucket is also cute. I would recommend this restaurant for some decent environment, hearty food, prompt service, and reasonable price.

The Chinese food is very authentic! This restaurant serves mainly Cantonese cuisine and I must say it’s one of the best in Cambridge. This reminds me of the food you can get in Hong Kong, so it’s a must come if you want to get that feel.
