About The Dumpling Tree
The Dumpling Tree is a Chinese restaurant in Cambridge serving handmade dumplings, Yunnan-inspired dishes, and rice noodles, alongside a bar designed for staying a little longer. We focus on food made with care, flavours that feel balanced, and a space that’s easy to return to.

Why Yunnan
Yunnan cuisine comes from the south of China and is known for its use of fresh herbs, gentle heat, and bold but balanced flavours. It’s a style of cooking that works naturally with rice noodles and lighter broths, and one that rewards curiosity without feeling unfamiliar.
More Than Just Food
We’ve built a bar to sit comfortably alongside the food. Cocktails, wine, and spirits that work just as well with dumplings as they do on their own. Whether you’re here for dinner, drinks, or an unplanned extra round, the space is designed to feel relaxed and welcoming.
How We Do Things
We believe good hospitality comes from paying attention to the details. From how food is prepared to how guests are welcomed, everything is done with consistency, warmth, and care. It’s about creating a place people feel comfortable returning to.
