Noodles Plus + 八方小厨

1. 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.

2. It’s very tasty. Everything is freshly made, such as the noodles and dumplings. The restaurant has only 2 people preparing the food. Even though the wait may be long, it’s definitely worth!!

3. Our favourite restaurant in Cambridge. We visited often when we lived there, and usually tried to arrive just before opening to avoid the long queues. The xiao long baos are a must order. We also loved to get the pan fried dumplings and noodles with minced pork to complete our order for two. The dumplings were consistently crispy on the outside and juicy inside, and the handmade noodles had a delicious springy bite. Always good with a soy milk on the side. A must visit in Cambridge !

4. Xiao Long Bao is best ! All other food is yummy with the heart of homemade style. Dip the dumplings (either steamed or fried) in their homemade chilli sauce and ginger vinegar together taste becomes another level. Noodles are with chewy homemade texture, in good soup base and generous amount of veg~ superb ! The lady owner is kind and friendly, her husband is the “star”chef ~ highly recommend their restaurant!

5. Lovely food. Nice staff. Suitable for vegetarians.

   Note: cash only

   Cosy restaurant, only 3-4 tables quite closely together.

   There are vegetarian options but they’re not clearly labelled on the menu with ‘v’ or ‘vg’.

   Staff are friendly. She told me the three vegetarian options which I was quite happy with, either dumplings with egg (not suitable for vegans), dried noodles with veggies, or noodles and veggies in soup.

   There are no steps going into the venue but it is tight on space. We didn’t see a bathroom but a lady did ask to wash her hands and was allowed to do so so it’s possible there is a bathroom behind the counter.

   It’s possible to take away food if there’s some left over. Food took around 45 mins but was fresh and tasty. A filling meal for 2 was around £38 (with two small bottles of water).
