If you have heard of/ tried Din Tai Fung, then this is Cambridge's not so little secret! Noodles+ is a small casual restaurant with a maximum capacity of 19 seats served by a lovely couple. Everything is freshly made and cooked. The steamed soup dumplings (xiao long bao) are the best and must say their signature dish. Noodles are tasty and you can choose from dry or soup noodles. We also love the pork dumplings pan fried. They don't serve alcohol but it's BYOB. The only downside is there is always a queue outside but hey, patience is a virtue and it is worth the wait! Try to come during off-peak hours.
Amazing, mouth-watering, delicious Chinese food! I couldn’t stop trying different dishes and by the end of my time at Noodles Plus was chonky and happy 🥟
Pros
1. Food! Dumplings, gyoza, noodles! Generous portions and all, down to the small bite, is flavorful and yummy.
2. A big menu, a lot of options to explore!
3. Conveniently located — I mean, Mill Road, it can’t get any better for Cambridge 😀
Cons
1. The place is quite small and popular so… queues. It’s not fun to wait for a half an hour to be seated, especially when it’s raining 🌧️
2. We went there on a rainy day so with the place lacking in space and with a lot of people inside, it was literally a greenhouse.
OMG!! Xiao Long Bao is excellent; Flavourful but not over seasoning. The soup inside is well- balanced flavour and mixes well with the minced. Beef brisket noodle with spicy sauce is also good. Service is excellent but don’t go on their busy time. Price is acceptable. Recommend…
The people moaning about the pace of the service is a bit unfair. The food is worth the wait and you can see that the husband and wife are working so hard. The food was delicious, all hand made and fresh. The Xiao long Bao very good. We will definitely be back!
On a trip from London, we decided to pop into this little place based on the reviews, and just WOW. AMAZING dumpling and noodles! We come from London so we are big foodies and have eaten in many places, so was surprised to find amazing quality here! Yes it was a long wait even at 4 pm on a weekday afternoon, but the owner is hand making your order! This is not frozen dumplings from the bag! The noodles with scallion and soy sauce was perfectly cooked, and our pan-fried pork dumplings were perfect. What more can you ask for? If I ever make a trip to Cambridge again, I'll pop by here!!!
Our favourite in Cambridge. Never disappoints. The spicy pork noodles and chilli oil are *chef’s kiss*. 10/10 😋
The best Xiao Long Bao/ fresh noodles 🍜 in Cambridge!!! This place serves authentic and tasty Chinese food!!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Amazing freshly handmade dumplings and noodles! You must try!!!
Tips: Depending on the time of your intended visit, you probably have to wait in a long queue Therefore, try to visit outside rush hours as there are a limited number of seating.
All in all I would say it is definitely worth waiting.
Cash only payment
I literally love this place!!! 😍
Amazing home made dumplings, but also noodles, baos and much more. The price is more than reasonable and the lady is soooo kind! The waiting is definitely worth it!
Arrived early, queued for an hour plus....
And was then treated to an absolutely delightful feast.
I'd happily wait 2 hours in the queue next time!
Quite simply some of the best dumplings I've ever eaten. Jellyfish, black fungus and sour kelp also worth a mention.
100% the best noodles I’ve had in Cambridge.
The restaurant is very small, only 5 or 6 tables inside, and has a very cosy feeling.
The food is just amazing. The noodles are outstanding. Small bowl but packed full of flavour. Would recommend getting two bowls - only 6 pounds per bowl.
Go here if you like noodles, if you don’t, go anyway and you’ll be converted.
