"Dumplings, soup. This is the duo at Zhonghua, where wontons bob like buoys in hot and sour soup and the jiaozi come by the dozen, boiled, steamed, or fried (when they transmute into guotie). Established in 2012, the welcomingly unadorned restaurant also serves decent noodles, char siu bao, and a refreshing cucumber salad fragrant with sesame and hoarse with chilli oil. But locals, students, and tourists all come for the dumplings, anointing their meals with their own blends of soy, black vinegar, and finely minced garlic provided at the table." - James Hansen

Their dumplings are all homemade, there are many different types of fillings. The dumplings are authentic, but they are not the best. Price is decent, and the customer service is really good. Their cold dishs are very tasty. I would recommend dumplings and cold dishes.

The spot itself is unassuming but the food is both tasty and affordable! We had the beef noodle soup and the fried special dumplings and steamed prawn dumplings. We had more than enough for 2 people with the above options.

Came here after searching for a local dimsum place and was not disappointed. Absolutely love this place - it’s unpretentious and cosy; the food is simple, delicious, and affordable. My favourites so far are their special dimsum (pork with shrimp) and green tea cake. One thing to note before going is they prefer cash, but will accept cards. Been here twice and will definitely be back to try their other offerings!

A very authentic place! I went there to have some warm soup and I have to say that it was delicious. The bowl was very big and we payed around £10 per person. I asked the waiter about some plates and he very enthusiast explaining them and recommending us. Perfect for a cheap and warm soup in the cold winter of Cambridge.

This Chinese restaurant is hands down one of my absolute favorites when it comes to grabbing a quick and delicious meal or snacks. Their menu boasts a delightful array of dumplings, noodles, wontons, baos, and even some mouthwatering hot and cold dishes. The flavours here are incredibly authentic, making every bite a delightful journey for your taste buds. And let's not forget about the fantastic value you get for your money. What truly sets this place apart, though, is the warm and friendly staff. They make you feel right at home from the moment you walk in, adding a personal touch to your dining experience. (laidback atmosphere) In a nutshell, I can't recommend this place highly enough. It's the kind of spot where you'll want to become a regular, and I can't blame you – it's just that good!

While initially impressed by this place's outstanding quality and value years back, recent visits have been disappointing. Quality has declined, while prices continue to rise so the sense of value has gone. The atmosphere lacks vibrancy and feels subdued. Street parking is available nearby, but don't expect a lively ambiance. Adding traditional music could enhance the experience. Acceptance of cards is a plus, though cash is preferred. Regrettably, we'll be exploring other options on our next visit to Cambridge.

For well over 10 years, Zhonghua maintained a strong and consistent standard of food and service. This is not fine dining, and it's mostly dumplings on their menu (with many different fillings and variations). But the dumplings are made fresh by the ladies at the back, and made very well. The seating room is small, but they have delivery on all online apps. This is a reliable quality food, for a very reasonable price.

Good customer service from a family run restaurant. We were warmly welcomed and they were ready to run the options through. The dumplings were handmade and we had the hot & sour soup which warmed us on a cold night. Their vegetarian options were good and cosy seating arrangement. The only shame is the minimum card payment is £20 and they prefer cash mostly. But a worthy stop over
