Always good food at Charlies. The mixed dim sum is delicious. Dry fried beef Ho Fun is very good. Salt and pepper prawns, Vietnamese spring rollls, and turnip paste cakes, are lovely.

Restaurant was closed and there was no pre-warning as to this closure. We travelled from outside Cambridge only to find the restaurant closed “until further notice”.

Came to Cambridge on a day out with friends & kids. I was recommended Charlie Chan by a friend & this place did not disappoint. The food was fresh & less oiler than most dim sum places we get & the staff were super friendly. The only issue was we had to wait a while before someone took our order but once it was, the food came out really quick.
