Went here for lunch. Their burgers are very good and the French fries are amazing!. Also have had breakfast here. If you like traditional eggs bacon and potatoes, you will be happy. If you like pancakes, make sure you are hungry because you won't believe how big they are. And very delicious.
I'm so happy I decided to try this little place, the food was stellar, reminded me of food I had with my grandmother as a child. Will be recommending to everyone I can :)

An extremely unique cafe with a one of a kind environment that feels like sitting in an old Victorian style home. Cameo cafe is serving up the best American and Korean fusion diner food with home made raspberry jam and their own delicious house hot sauce. We got the Korean pancake and the Due Gee's Fusion pancake which are savory and come with some soy sauce(maybe a dumpling sauce) for dipping.The toast is made just for this restaurant and it is unique and quite tasty.We had the pleasure of meeting the owner who was extremely kind.

Bustling little Cafe where you can watch the kitchen do it"s magic. The Bin Dae Tuc (Korean pancake) is my favorite but it is not complete without Sue G.'s tasty hot sauce. And if it sends a bit spendy, there is always something to take home.

Cameo Cafe is a staple in Portland’s Breakfast and Brunch scene. It holds a special place in the heart of many locals who have been breakfasting here their whole life.The food is great (not snobby, 5 star, “yes, chef”, great but certainly local diner/cafe great). The pancakes are legendary and are sold “by the acre” (or “1/4 acre” which fills a very large plate).There are also a number of standard brunch items infused with Kimchee. Not my jam but others have told me they love it.The owner, Sue Gee Lehn, is an entertaining host who makes you feel as if you were invited to eat in her home with her family (the staff seem to have worked with her forever).And then there’s the decor. It’s eclectic for sure, but with a certain charm that, once again, makes you feel like you are visiting the home of a long lost aunt.The space is small, and the waiting area only fits a couple people at a time. So when it’s busy you often end up waiting outside which has its own special vibe.All in all, Cameo’s is an experience that every Portlander should be well acquainted with.

Okay, just wanted to do one last Portland thing and this place was on best places to have breakfast at list so with plenty of time to kill before my flight I took the bus here to have a good lunch instead of some overpriced airline foodI do not regret it, the bacon was thick and salty but not overwhelmingly so, the eggs were runny like I wanted them and I wanted to get something unique, something I couldn’t normally get so I got the BinDaeTtok and it was delicious, really was, it was the savory pancake I desired and when in combo it’s a lot of food, I couldn’t finish it all so I brought the Korean pancake with me.The vibe was very hole in the wall/local dive, that’s surprisingly welcoming because of how down to earth it is, there are photos of old miss oregons and the people just on the wall and it added to the charm. It was reasonably priced (for Portland), big portions and a good vibe. I see how this became a local institution and remains ones deservingly so. I’m glad I ventured out here and ate at this spot before taking transit to the airport. Was definitely worth it

Amazing food, service, and atmosphere. Get the Korean fusion breakfast, the bindaettok (incredible, reminds me of home), or a giant bowl of noodle soup and lean into the comfort. The Sue Gee sauce is amazing with a nice spice and the strong bread is truly the best with their house jam (nice and tart and not too sweet!) I can’t wait to come back
