Zhonghua Traditional Snacks in Cambridge

Really strong institution of Chinese food. They had so many awesome staple Chinese cold vegetable dishes such as dou fu si (豆腐丝）and seaweed (凉拌海带) among many others, which really gave me a deep sense of happiness and nostalgia; I have a lot of respect for them for just doing the simple classics well. The dumplings were also well made (with a great variety in selection) and the noodles were very respectable.The service was excellent and quick. The space is really small and the restaurant was packed when I visited a few months ago, but I thought the staff handled it super well. The only complaint is that they didn't have the pig ear or hot and sour noodles available when I went, but there are so many great dishes that I wasn't sad about it after. Additionally, I feel the prices are insanely good compared to the rest of Cambridge.Along with 1+1 rougamo, this is definitely a top S-tier institution of Chinese food in Cambridge!! This is a great place to share some small eats with a few friends.

Tasty beef soup noodles at very competitive prices!

BEST FOOD IN TOWN. These dumplings are homemade, fresh and super addictive! I’m on a clean eating plan at the moment so I haven’t been able to visit as frequently as I’d wish to, however prior to this I was eating here at-least once a week of not twice or more! I’d love to see some gluten free options, but otherwise it’s great! Huge variety for vegans - the tofu and kimchi are my fave, along with paprika and eggplant as a runner up! And the hot & sour vermicelli and newly added chilli veggie wontons are amazing too! Keep it up, see you soon!

The food is awesome and it is not expensive at all. Very nice and warm attention. Surely I will be back!

Very good dumplings. Fresh and taste really great.

Was really looking forward to trying here but was actually really disappointed. We ordered loads of different dumplings, they all tasted really strongly of sesame oil it was over powering, the beef and pork dumplings were all slimy. I guess they have cornflour in to seal them so think that might be what it was but there was loads of it all over the dumplings. It was really off putting.

Dumplings are so good! Good and fast service, big portions. Would recommend!

Really good dumpling and noodle. Order above £15 you can pay by card.

✓ Vegetarian & Vegan OptionsWHAT I HAD (Takeaway): Cold-Dressed Hot and Sour Vermicelli (Vegan) [£6.50]; Dumplings with eggplant and paprika filling (Vegan) [£6.50] (12pcs); Dumplings with tofu and celery filling (Vegan) [£6.00] (12pcs)Heard that this place has good dumplings. So, I finally got the chance to get some takeaway from here when I was in the area. The place is quaint with tables arranged quite close together. So, probably not the best to go with a big group. It was packed when I was there. The staff were helpful. I had the cold-dressed hot and sour vermicelli, eggplant & paprika dumplings and tofu & celery dumplings. The dumplings were good, I did think the skins were a bit too mushy (it could be that it got soggy because I had it to takeaway). I didn’t quite enjoy the eggplant & paprika dumpling because of the bitter aftertaste I got. The hot and sour vermicelli was thick, chewy and spicy. I loved that they topped it with some pak choi and carrots to add some crunch.Overall, cheap and pretty good dumplings and noodles! It might’ve been better had I not had the food to takeaway, so I definitely hope to dine in next time.

No waiting time for dinner. Very nice beef noodles, spotted on with all the flavours. We also ordered chicken noodles, and beef dumplings that were exactly how we expected. But for 2 people, I would recommend to have one noodles portion each and share a plate of dumplings (12 pieces). I was amazed how much we ate for the money we paid. I will definitely come back!
