Shang Wei 赏味 — Restaurant in Cambridge

Ah, what a splendid dining experience we had at this fine establishment! We ordered about £90 worth of food for dinner, only to find, upon arrival, not a single pair of chopsticks or any form of cutlery gracing the bag. One would assume that the restaurant, capable of discerning the delivery address, might have noticed we were staying in a hotel. But alas, perhaps that was too fine a detail for their attention? Naturally, we were then compelled to consume this delightful feast using the hotel’s dainty coffee spoons—a truly unique gastronomic experience, I must say. Now, in the spirit of fairness, I shall grant that the cold noodles and stir-fried water spinach were passable, though not without their flaws. However, as for the rest of the dishes, I must humbly inquire: how is it possible to produce something that manages to be inferior to the notorious MSG-laden mediocrity of your average British Chinese takeaway? The woeful execution and abysmal control of heat during cooking left much to be desired. But fear not, dear reader, for if you are a connoisseur with an… exquisite penchant for culinary masochism or perhaps an experimental diet of tasteless wax-like textures, I wholeheartedly recommend this restaurant. It promises to deliver an unforgettable adventure in ways you never...

This was one of the worst takeaways I have ever had. Firstly, ordered through Uber eats, whilst not the restaurants fault as such, this took an hour to arrive and by the time it did, it was cold (it arrived about 9.40pm) - far too late. I had 3 dishes which cost over £40 which was very expensive for what it was. The duck was not shredded and flavourful, it was chunks like steak, dry and awful. The calamari has a strange batter, which after the delay turned into a horrible paste. The seasoning was awful. The kung pow chicken was a medley of awful taste. Hardly any actual chicken and more clumps of batter. Again, some horrible seasoning overpowering the dish. The entire meal was dreadful, expensive, cold and late. So...

Just had our first meal here! Opened today - been waiting for a couple months as they were setting up, so was quite expectant!

Lovely design to the place, friendly staff, clean and, best of all, DELICIOUS food!

I had the braised beef in spicy noodle soup - absolutely fantastic. Beef was juicy and soft, soup was warming and just spicy enough. My partner had the same but not spicy - she loved it.

Had the veggie spring rolls as a side - super crispy and tasty.

I had the mango slushie too - super tasty.

Overall, great in every way and not that pricey either.

Was quite quiet as it’s their first night open, so hope the word spreads about...
