Liutaio Music Restaurant

You're walking down Mill Road, that brilliant stretch where independent shops and restaurants cluster together, when you spot Liutaio. It's not your typical dim sum spot—there's actually live music happening here, which transforms your trolley-laden lunch or dinner into something unexpectedly atmospheric. The kitchen turns out proper Cantonese dim sum: steamed dumplings, char siu bao, prawn cheung fun—the stuff that matters. The live performances mean you're never quite sure what evening you're walking into, but that's rather the point. It's become a proper gathering place for Cambridge's Chinese community and adventurous locals alike.
