“My husband and I have visited the Dumling Tree quite a lot recently. Sometimes just the two of us and others with friends. We have loved the food and the atmosphere! Our favourite dish is prawn dumplings and wonton soup although we have been trying other dishes and we have only good feedback to the restaurant. Thank you for always making us feel so welcome!”

“I was surprised to find some solid Chinese food in Cambridge! My waiter was very friendly and the food came out pretty quickly, and pricing was reasonable. I thought the pork and chive dumplings were better than the beef noodle soup, but …”
- Jamie Carter
“Have now been 3 times, every visit has been perfect, food is always absolutely brilliant and service matches this. The salt and pepper chips are genuinely some of the best I have ever had! Will keep coming back and cannot recommend enough.”
