Noodle Republic

This place is truly amazing. It is always an absolute treat to go to there, especially with family or friends. All the sashimi and sushi are made beautifully and are delicious. They are also the freshest I've ever tried in Cambridge. The Chinese dishes are also delicious and with good portions. However, if you can't take spice, I would recommend caution on the spicy dishes as they do not hold back on the heat. I learned that the hard way! However, if you can take your spice, try them out! The Japanese dishes are all delicious, especially the eel over rice. The service is excellent, the staff are all very nice and are super attentive. During their more busy times, their hands are quite full so please come with a little patience. The prices are a little high but it is not ridiculously priced. And tasting how fresh their dishes are, I can tell why. Overall, this is hands down one of the best restaurants in Cambridge. I would absolutely recommend it, especially for a night out!

£9.8 for a tonkotsu ramen. Minimum for card payment is £10, so prepare cash. They have counter seats, which it’s nice because that way I don’t feel that awkward if I go alone. The ramen smells too “porky” for my taste, and I didn’t expect the chashu to come with bone (in Japan the chashu is boneless). The noodles were very good (歯応えがある, chewy?), though. Overall, it’s close to a Japanase ramen, but I wouldn’t pay that for a ramen in Japan. But since we are not in Japan, this is the closest thing you can get in Cambridge, AFAIK. The other dishes I could see in other tables looked good as well, but I haven’t tried anything else yet.

Amazing selection of food. My favourite place to eat in Cambridge. Highly recommend the sweet potato noodles with pigs intestines, the eel and seaweed salad, the stir fried lettuce with pork and the beef and egg with house special sauce on rice. Lots of Chinese dishes and Japanese dishes too. Disabled access is good with no step access from front door and a downstairs toilet as well.
