    Nice food. Friendly service. I hadn't been to Charlie Chan's for years. Nothing much changed - food was very good and quick service.

    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.

    Had a great meal. Third time visiting and absolutely amazing. Service was efficient and food exceptional. Will definitely be back when visiting Cambridge again. Double cooked pork is a must!
