Authentic Cantonese Cuisine in Cambridge Since 1996
Established in 1996, Yim Wah House is a family-run Chinese restaurant rooted in authentic Cantonese traditions. Founded by Mr Fook Yu Yeung, a chef with over 60 years of experience, we have dedicated ourselves to preserving the essence of genuine Chinese cuisine. Our journey began in Harefield before relocating to Cambridge, overcoming significant challenges including a devastating fire in 2009. Today, we continue to serve time-honoured dishes such as Cantonese Roasted Duck and Crispy Pork Belly, crafted with the same passion and techniques passed down through generations.Our commitment to quality ingredients and traditional methods has earned us a loyal following and recognition as one of Cambridge's top-rated Chinese restaurants. We pride ourselves on offering a refined dining experience complemented by warm, hospitable service. Our menu features signature dishes, set menus, and a la carte options designed to cater to diverse tastes while staying true to our culinary heritage. Through decades of dedication, we remain steadfast in sharing authentic Cantonese flavours with our community.
