"Ordinarily home to the biggest queue on a road totally laden with good places to eat, Noodles Plus plays a trick on diners before they’ve even gotten in. There’s no fooling in the gorgeously greasy scarlet of the pigs’ ears in chilli oil, the generous servings of jasmine tea, or the hospitality from Dong Huang and Hui Yan Li, who opened Noodles Plus in February 2015 as a means of bringing Shanghainese specialities to Cambridge. It’s that little plus in the name, which represents the restaurant’s actual best dish. The very fine noodles be damned; the must-order here is a dumpling. Huang pleats xiao long bao to order with careful mastery, and they arrive at the table like little grenades, ready to burst with their deeply savoury, warming cargo." - James Hansen
