Their food is scrumptious ??? without any hesitation feel free to go for it. I have not had tastier Chinese food than this in the UK. I discovered this on my first day trip to Cambridge in one summer and since then sometimes I travel from South London to Cambridge just for their lovely food, and last but not least their service is lovely and friendly bunch of people. Deserves full on 5 star.Parking: I used nearest council parking called Castle Street Car park which has reasonable rate between 9AM - 7 PM and after that it is free.

The sweet and sour sea bass was sensational. Stir fried mixed vegetables were the best I’ve ever had. Friendly and helpful service.

Recommended by a Japanese friend :3 it’s indeed better than I expected. A solid 4.5 at this price range.Tianjin bun looks to be handmade. It’s different from the fluffy yeast dough common in northern China and appears similar to a more robust xiaolong. I’ve never been to Tianjin so I can’t comment on the authenticity. Perhaps they do have the particular variety. The dough has an enjoyable thickness. The meatball filling is tender and bouncy, not too fatty. It’s seasoned with soy sauce and slightly sweet unlike the Shanghainese version.Mapo tofu is brilliant even without minced pork. The seasoning is just right and the tofu retains its shape. It’s a very common and simple dish, but it isn’t easy to make a good one.Huiguorou is flavorful. The pork has about 30%-50% fat, but traditionally it was quite fatty.Black fungus can have a little more vinegar in the sauce but is otherwise a crispy starter.The problem with almost all Chinese restaurants out is that the food are too oily (western cuisines arguably has hidden oil in the food anyways).The people at the restaurant are friendly and efficient. It wasn’t too busy when we visited in the festive week. Vibe wise, there’s no background music and the place does give a canteen-like feeling.

They refused to serve us because we were black. The owner ignored us and when were leaving he had the audacity to say goodbye. They were very racist
Good food, but we had to wait a long time to order it. We ordered a cola that did not arrive, but they deducted it from the bill when we told them.

We sat for 15 minutes whilst the waiter passed us by and served people who arrived later. When I called him he said bye bye...blatant racism

Nice place but unbearably hot in summer, no ventilation. They seem to have AC but don't turn it on

Given 5 stars for the food and value for money.We've been here a few times now and really like it. It's a bit quirky and has a canteen feel to it... Basic furniture etc. And the 'artwork' on the wall is.... A little 'thrown together'Each time we've been there seems to be lots of people speaking Cantonese to the waiter, and the menu is transkated for this which we take as a good sign.Its also well located among the colleges and near one of the two main punting rental locations.

Return to the canteen whenever we need a quick and tasty lunch in Cambridge. Located by Bridge street just as it passes over the River Cam. The restaurant may be called the canteen, but, it is far more than that. A good and comprehensive menu also a midweek lunch menu. Great tastes and flavours, Cambridge has many Chinese Restaurants but most are hit or miss. The Canteen is consistently good. It can be busy if a coach load of trippers arrive ,but ,is still worth the visit.
