Best Chinese food I've ever had outside China (I lived in China for 5 years). You must be proactive to place your order and get the bill in the end. But if you care about food and only food then that's THE place. Very recommended by a westerner who knows something about China!

This has to be some of the best and most authentic food I've had in Britain outside of China. A delicious evening and we'll worth a visit.

My partner and I went to visit Cambridge, and we wanted to eat Chinese. We randomed to pick the restaurant and we went to this one. It was very good decision, the staff are very nice, friendly. The asmosphere is fine. In addition, the food are very perfect, tasty, fresh, and worth for the value. If we have a chance to go to Cambridge again, we will go visit this restaurant again for sure. Highly recommend!!
P.S. We ordered beef stew with mushroom, roasted duck and sweet bun (I can't remember the name of it exactly)

Authentic Chinese sechwan food, tasty and good value. Just like being in old town in China, nice Chinese lamps and shades and pictures. Friendly owner on hand and English spoken well.
Enjoy

I've never had Chinese food in China, but I'm pretty sure that this is as close as you can get in Cambridge. @72 makes zero effort to adapt to the British palate, and that's what makes it great. The food is up there with anywhere else in Cambridge and the prices are very reasonable. If you aren't used to Chinese food, go with an open mind and you will enjoy it.

So many Chinese restaurants to choose from...we chose this one on a whim. Loved it, one of the best I've ever had. Mapo tofu was on point, chicken and mushroom dumplings were so good. Staff was very friendly, prices were reasonable. Ill go again.

Great food and excellent location. The family run restaurant has a good vibe and the dishes are tasty without being greasy or heavy.
Genuine pu'er tea and the best wanton soup I have had anywhere in the world.
Be aware that you need to be specific to the menu. The young waitress who served my food was not fluent in writing mandarin and had to copy from the menu to communicate the orders to the kitchen staff. Therefore, be sure to indicate the exact dish you want on the menu and if there is a specific dietary requirement, make that explicit.

Authentic Chinese cuisine. The portion is quite large so I recommend going with friends. The food came fast and they were tasty!

This is a rough and ready Chinese food joint. We come here now and again to get authentic Chinese food. Don’t expect polished service, you have to overlook the rough edges but the food is great. Try to come early, around 6- 6.30 and your fellow diners will be mainly Asian- a good sign that the food is the real deal. Dish highlights are the salt and pepper squid, spinach in peanuts and vinegar and the fish in boiling oil with Szechuan pepper and chilli.
