Noodles Plus + 八方小厨

A super small Chinese restaurant in Cambridge that offers traditional breakfast. Excellent quality and fair prices, but unfortunately, that also means it’s usually very crowded. You should be prepared for a long wait, but it’s definitely worth it! Once you’re inside, plan to take your time as well, since only two people handle everything on their own. I can really recommend the Hundun (馄饨) and pig’s ears (猪耳朵) - both are delicious! Definitely worth a visit!

Went here for a late lunch around 3pm on a Sunday. Waited for about 30mins for a seat, then another 15 minutes for the woman who runs the restaurant to take our order. It was worth it. The dumplings were delicious. The cold spicy spiced beef tendon was mouth watering with a chili oil that paired well with the dumplings. The beef noodles were exceptional in that the noodles were cooked perfectly, with the meat and broth pairing together to all form an incredible dish. The restaurant is cash only. ATM is at the nearby CO-OP.

Food was delicious but we waited 40 mins to sit, 20 mins for our order to be taken and an other 40 mins for the food. We were there for 2 hours, and only 20 mins of that was spent eating. We ate under the watchful eyes of hungry customers standing by the door, waiting to eat. The food really was not worth all the wait when there are so many delicious, home made authentic food options on mill road with good service. I strongly urge the owners to hire an extra pair of hands to get food out quicker, seat more people and round off the great food with a decent altogether experience. The food is good and beautifully prepared, all done by hand. Good place to go if it’s quiet.

Best steam buns (and most juicy!) I have ever had！！ Don’t think there is a single item in the menu that I wouldn’t order again. Most the time have to queue and wait patiently as all the food is hand made freshly when you ordered, but it’s all worth the wait.

This small, cozy noodle and dumpling shop is a solid choice for straightforward, comforting food. The atmosphere is simple and welcoming, and the menu focuses on classic, homestyle dishes. The food has a genuine, homemade quality to it—nothing overly fancy, but consistently good and satisfying. It's the kind of place you go for a reliably nice bowl of noodles or a plate of well-made dumplings in a relaxed setting. Perfect for a low-key, comforting meal.

This is one of our favorite restaurants in Cambridge. Lovely place with fantastic Xiao Long Bao and loads of other things to try. We recommend this place to everyone visiting Cambridge and come frequently as locals!! Sometime can be a long queue, but it’s well worth the wait.

The food are very nice and delicious, highly recommended.

The best dumplings I’ve had! The handmade noodles were also delicious 😋 Be sure to queue just before 12, as there isn’t much space inside so expect a 30+ min wait if you don’t get in first. For such an amazing selection of food, it’s very cheap too!
