Cameron Chinese Restaurant

Havent been in a while. Food ok but still feels expensive (its why we stopped going). Dining room can get loud (hard to have a conversation at times).

Cameron Chinese is exceptional at somethings and mediocre at others. The eggplant with black bean sauce was the best I’ve ever had. The steamed beef and cilantro noodle was good. The pork dumpling, sticky bbq pork rice were fine, but not worth it. The beef balls were bad and definitely not worth it. This place is great if you order specific things and avoid others.

The dim sum is best in town. Very friendly staff and good atmosphere

Stopped in for an order of sweet and sour chicken balls for a snack. Got home and took one bite and they were awful. Soggy and greasy and cold. Yuck. I want my money back.

We did take out and it was the worst Chinese food I've ever had. We ordered chicken balls, the batter dark and tough and chicken inside dry. Honey Garlic ribs dry. Vegetable Low Mein noodles were dry and there was no vegetables, Chicken Chop Suey tasteless. We ordered beef and broccoli it should have beef and celery. Egg rolls again over cooked and hardly anything inside. Called and we were told we should have asked how food was in order to ask for sauce. Terrible customer service.

The sesame chicken and beef and broccoli were delicious. We also got a noodle dish, chicken balls, fried rice and chicken and veggie, which were all quite good. Service was great, they kept our waters full and were very friendly. Great place and will go again.

We were staying in Cambridge for the night and our family was craving dim sum — Cameron Chinese Restaurant seemed to be the only place offering it in the area. The dim sum was delicious and succulent, with great texture and flavor overall. The shrimp fried rice, however, was a bit on the bland side.

Coming from Vaughan, we did find the prices quite expensive ($180 before tip) compared to what we’re used to, but I suppose that’s expected since it’s the only dim sum spot around. Overall, the food was decent and pretty authentic, and it definitely satisfied our dim sum craving while in Cambridge.

Today’s short rib tasted not fresh. The meat itself is ok, but there’s a kind of off or spoiled taste in the flavor — it might be coming from one of the seasonings. Shrimp dumplings had the same thing.

The Sesame Walnut Shrimp at the Cameron Chinese Restaurant at Cameron and Charles streets is the best and has been the best for over 25 years! And the al dente broccoli that comes with it is so good, even George H. W. Bush would love it!

The shrimp were perfect, large and juicy! At the time I ordered, the server said, “Oh! There are twelve shrimp!” Of course, having heard that and seeing the size of them, I just had to count! I got 13… counted twice! Nice!

Oh, what I wouldn’t give to find out how they make the sesame walnut paste that coats the shrimp and is over the top yummy!

I did takeout and asked how long it would take, did I have time to walk Storm, my husky-mix? Five to ten minutes! Great!

I set my timer for five and we were back in four minutes! The smiling server came jogging out with my Sesame Walnut Shrimp nicely packaged up… piping hot! He even had time to pat Storm before my timer went off! Service par excellence!

PS. The Cameron is right on the bus/light rail route… which is really handy, but makes doing a left turn into the parking lot a challenge. If you come at it on Cameron St, turn left off Cameron, just before Charles St, and squeeze through the narrow, one way entrance into the parking lot.
