Yim Wah Express

The best place to get roast duck in Cambridge - any many other meats, for that matter.
Yim Wah is positioned on the corner of two of Cambridge's busiest roads, yet the interior is an environment of tranquility and smiling staff. We enjoyed the fried soft shell crab with tasty scraps, the capital spare ribs which were sticky and sweet but not overly so, the wonderful prawn and beef Thai rice, and the two meat on rice (we chose duck and chicken, though you can also choose char sui and etc.). Total including service and two soft drinks was £55. We would like to have had slightly larger portions, particularly on the meat and rice which had about 8 pieces of meat (on the bone), though we usually find the portion sizes sufficient.

Best cha siu in Cambridge!!! It really made me feel like home especially the service from the boss. The boss Ryan is a very nice person and willing to adjust the taste of the food for us. But there is a little bit too over priced although all the Chinese restaurants in Cambridge are over priced :P Highly recommend to all Hong Konger in Cambridge.

Super amazing food and service!
I’ve tried quite a lot of food from Yim Wah already and they’re all delicious and authentic. The clay pot rice was so good, it’s a really difficult dish to make and they executed it perfectly, serving it sizzling hot. The aubergine was tasty too.
The service is fantastic, Ryan is super welcoming and friendly, the whole vibe of the restaurant is great. There’s plenty of seats and they even have bigger tables with the lazy Susans. The price is reasonable for the big portions. I totally recommend coming here, food is so authentic, you have to try it!

not exactly inexpensive, but huge portions especially for the noodles and fried rice.

in order of pictures:

aubergine in chilli bean sauce - 10/10, insanely good. have it with white rice.

chicken with garlic spring onion and chilli - 9/10

chicken fried rice - 6/10

crispy noodle with beef and black bean - 9/10, extremely generous with the beef, could be spicier

thai style noodle with prawn - 7/10

I went for an early lunch ( it opens at 11.30am). I ordered a Ho fun (rice sticks) with beef and black bean sauce. The meat was very tender, and the sauce was good. Service was prompt and polite.

Excellent, authentic food with friendly and quick service.

The food is extremely good. Really good quality for everything. One of the best tasting Chinese restaurants I’ve been to in Cambridge. Pretty central too, so very easy to get to.

Very affordable, high quality and big portions. I have nothing but good things to say about this place. We went in for dinner on Friday and there was ample seating and the food was very reasonably priced. Definitely recommend! Staff were very friendly.
