Yim Wah Express - Cambridge

Good Chinese food. We had Cantonese food with some dim sum. Quite authentic and reasonable delicious. Expensive but going out in the UK is generally expensive.

OK... The 'express ' in the restaurant name should probably be taken with a pinch of salt, and the ambience was more loud and chaotic than warm and cosy but...... THE FOOD.... my my, the food at the Yim Wah ranks amongst the best Asian cuisine we have ever tasted. That includes top end restaurants in Shanghai, Beijing, Hong Kong and Singapore. The Yim Wah is a bustling busy cauldron of deliciousness and if you ever find yourself within striking distance........ Go. Just treat yourself to one of the finest, freshest most delicious Chinese meals you will ever experience.

Used to be our favourite Chinese restaurant in Cambridge but haven't been for a while ; this was our first post Covid visit. We ordered our favourite dishes and they were very different, which would have been OK if they'd tasted OK but they were sadly not very good. Not only were portions smaller but the ratio of main ingredients to something that resembled gloop was poor. Flavours were different quite salty and harder to detect the expected tastes of ginger/garlic etc. Maybe it was an off day in the kitchen but I'm hesitant to go back.

The best Chinese food I've had in a very long time. We had a set menu. Even the vegetable side dish was tasty. Friendly staff.

Service from the female owner was very friendly. But overall disappointed with the food. Its obviously very popular with Chinese customers so not sure what went wrong. But generally found the food rather tasteless. The paneer in one the specials was also horribly wobbly. Quite probably it supposed to be like that in chinese cooking but I am used to eating it crisped in Indian, which is lovely. I think on balance this may now be the best option for Chinese food in Cambridge. Sadly Hakka has closed. Totally different kind of restaurant of course, but it was totally sublime. The best Chinese food I recall I have ever eaten.
