If you are looking for chinese cuisine around Cambridge. This is the place!
Yim Wah Express was recommended to us by a friend and from that point on I will always ask her advice for food! The service is great and the food is always on point never a disappointment! Highly recommended if you want a sit down meal. Nothing fancy at all but definitely a great meal. Prices are reasonable for the portion size.
Travelled up from London and thought we'd give Cambridge's Chinese a whirl. Lovely food. Ate with my Asian in-laws and they gave it a big thumbs up. Highly recommended.
Delicious and seemingly pretty authentic Chinese food (to an American judging by friends from both mainland China & Hong Kong) here, a real win and very easy to find!
It's a mini Chinatown. There're dishes from multiple places, dim sum and even siu mei.
Absolutely exceptional.
The crispy pork is a must while the crispy noodles were some of the best I have had anywhere in China or the UK.
Fast service, kind staff, good portion sizes (especially the soup).
Although the wanton soup was not quite to my liking, the quality of the food was consistent, especially the crispy duck and pancakes, and the noodles.
I strongly recommend this place.
What an absolute gem of a place. This is hands down some of the best Cantonese food I’ve had. The roast duck and crispy pork was simply delicious. We would make the 40 miles trip regularly just to eat at this place. The service staff greeted us in a friendly and warm manner and we were made to feel very welcome through the meal. I highly recommend coming to this restaurant if you live in Cambridge or visiting the area!
Authentic Canton cuisine. Live the fish head and tofu pot.
Really good, old school style Chinese restaurant. Food was tasty, service was good and they had clean toilets.
Super amazing food and service!
I’ve tried quite a lot of food from Yim Wah already and they’re all delicious and authentic. The clay pot rice was so good, it’s a really difficult dish to make and they executed it perfectly, serving it sizzling hot. The aubergine was tasty too.
The service is fantastic, Ryan is super welcoming and friendly, the whole vibe of the restaurant is great. There’s plenty of seats and they even have bigger tables with the lazy Susans. The price is reasonable for the big portions. I totally recommend coming here, food is so authentic, you have to try it!
As a cantonese, I can assure you this is the best cantonese restaurant I have eaten in the UK. I couldn't even find one quite like that after living in London for a decade. I only wish Yim Wah also open a branch in London 🥲 Came here with friends for lunch as we are visiting Cambridge for the day. I ended up getting some takeaway with me on the train back to London in the evening.
Highly recommend their roast duck and pork combo. Will certainly return when I am in Cambridge again.
Cozy little place and the food tasted great. The chicken feet was sweet and spicy, which is unexpected.
not exactly inexpensive, but huge portions especially for the noodles and fried rice.
in order of pictures:
aubergine in chilli bean sauce - 10/10, insanely good. have it with white rice.
chicken with garlic spring onion and chilli - 9/10
chicken fried rice - 6/10
crispy noodle with beef and black bean - 9/10, extremely generous with the beef, could be spicier
thai style noodle with prawn - 7/10

Yim Wah is an authentic gem in the heart of Cambridge! The chef is the patriarch, which means everything is just so good. The roasts displayed by the kitchen are our favourites. They serve proper dimsum and tasty meal dishes, with great service from the friendly staff. This is the best local Chinese place. Xie Xie!
