The Dumpling Tree - Cambridge

Came for the quiz. We had the Dirty Dozen twice. One boiled, one fried. Absolutely delicious. I went to their previous location near the leisure park and I'm pleased to see they have a new bigger place. Will be back soon. We won the quiz!

The cost of living crisis has definitely hit this Chinese restaurant. Ordered 12 dumplings which were put in a take away plastic carton, yes all 12. And yes they were tiny, to get 12 in a take away plastic container, I'll give you credit.Even the dip would fit over my thumb, there must have been 20ml for a dozen mini dumplings. These dumplings were poor purely because I have never seen dumplings this small with a 20ml pot. ONE can only wonder why would a restaurant be so petty Still Ive stopped wondering cause I won't be going back, I'll order form a proper Chinese take away in future and not a this restraunt. REMEMBER DUMPLING Tree bad food travels faster than good food If your on a diet, this is your place.......

The Dumpling Tree is one of my favourite spots in Cambridge. My friend had the dirty dozen mixed meat dumplings with hot and sour soup, and I had the tofu and green bean dumplings, also with hot and sour soup. Everything was delicious! This was my third visit, and it certainly won 't be my last.

This restaurant was recommended by locals who live in the area, and it did not disappoint. As a starter, my husband and I ordered the dumplings, and the taste and texture were perfect. For dinner, I particularly loved the eggplant (yum! . My husband enjoyed his charbroiled beef. The flavors of both dishes were exceptional, gourmet quality, so much better than other restaurants of this cuisine. The atmosphere was welcoming and parking easy, even with almost a full house on a Monday night. We made sure we registered our vehicle when we first walked in, which was an easy process. We will definitely go back the next time we are in Cambridge.

First visit of 2024, and as usual, the food quality was superb. It's always freshly made, piping hot, tasty, flavourful, and authentic. The dumplings we had were pan fried, and were a little crispy, which is how we love them. Complete with a tangy, spicy sauce for dipping, or upon request, Chinese vinegar, or soy sauce. We also ended up with beef noodle soup (filling, hot, plentiful) and dried noodles beef back bean sauce (fresh cooked, well presented, tasty and simply excellent) All the dishes came out within minutes of each other, and we just dug in. Exquisite! You have to validate parking on arrival, otherwise, you'll get a parking fine. The staff can help with this, and always ask if you've completed the action before seating you. We recommend booking because it gets busy and sign up for their emails notifications because they regularly have great promotions. Well worth a visit for quality, home-cooked, fresh food with an authentic taste. It was not the cheapest meal by a long way, but it was worth every penny.
