"I am sorry to say that Seven Days is not what it was. When it first opened it served some of the best Sichuanese food in the city and also offered intriguing North East (Dongbei) dishes you couldn 't find anywhere else; the menu is still vast but, in the wake of the pandemic, prices have increased and quality has declined. On my most recent visit the 'four seasons ' aubergine and green beans was bland and tasteless, while the ma po tofu was abrasively salty and lacked the balance between potent heat and almost citrus fragrance which characterise the best renditions of the dish. A bill for £31.50 for aubergines, green beans, tofu, bean sauce and rice also came as a nasty shock. If you are looking for good Sichuanese and Dongbei food in Cambridge, I now recommend Fu on Norfolk Street, where portions are generous, service is efficient and courteous, and the food is flavourful and robust; it doesn 't quite compare with Seven Days in its pomp, but it is a reminder of better times. I last ate here on a Wednesday, so perhaps the understudy was at the stove, but I can 't say I 'm likely to be returning."
