I'm thrilled to give Cameron Chinese Restaurant a glowing review after more than 30 years of exceptional service! The food quality remains top-notch, and the service is still impeccable. Our server, Louie, has been attentive and friendly throughout the years, providing consistent excellence. Owner and chef, Alex, prioritizes food quality, and it shows in every dish. I highly recommend Cameron Chinese Restaurant as the best in town. The consistency and quality are unmatched, and it's a testament to the hard work and dedication of the team. Well done, and I look forward to many more years of enjoying my favorite Chinese dishes!

Their Dim Sum is pricey but it all tastes really good: Fried calamari, all the different dumplings, sticky rice. It all comes out hot and they give you hot sauce to go with it. It's also our favourite for Chinese food-dinner. Splitting combo plates between a few people is a good way to sample different things. Update 5.3.2025. Still very good and Dim Sum always draws a big crowd on weekends.

Trying this tea house as it was my coworker's favourite, I would say it's fairly good, I'd prefer the other tea house nearby more. I feel most of the dimsum has some room for improvement, e.g. the skin of the hagao is easily broken, not much taste from the siumai and fried squid, weird taste from the tripe, too salty for the bean curd roll; the up to quality dish were fried dumplings, bbq pork bun (can be a bit bigger), rice roll with beef, beef ball, and shrimp spring roll. Service is very good, servers are all sharp and polite; plates and tea cups are very clean, we usually have to wash them once by ourselves when we go to any tea house but here we obviously didn't have to do so. To be honest, I would have taken one star out for the slightly disappointed taste but I called several times to book table, cancel table, enquire about the dimsum serving time, every time the staffs are just always patient and kind, so I'll stick with 5-star for them. Cheers!

Been going to this place since I was a kid and it reliably has not only the best food, but also the greatest staff!! They are some of the kindest people out there, attentive and considerate too. I hope they know how much they are loved! Accidentally stayed 20 minutes past close yesterday and Lewis (apologies if I spelled his name incorrectly) was too kind to tell us! The Foo Kin fried rice is one of my family’s favourites but I swear that you can’t go wrong with anything on their menu.

The food was very good, super authentic and with generous fillings too! The har gow was packed with shrimp and the sticky rice in lotus leaves had so much meat inside. The food comes quick but be prepared to wait very long lines for a table, as the place is very busy.

Enjoyed a delicious dinner catching up here. The fried rice was amazing! Staff was very friendly and accommodating, and offered such great suggestions! Serving sizes are generous, lots to take home for leftovers. Will be returning

Simply the best chinese restaurant in KW region. Food was great and staff so friendly. They even helped us to settle our baby with an extra chair. True hidden gem. Highly recommend

I've been coming here for well over 10 years with my family. The dim sum here is so good. I will actually admit it's much better than any other dim sum restaurant that I've ever been to throughout Kitchener and Toronto The siu mai (pork dumpling) and har gow (shrimp dumpling) here is no joke Also the service here is next level. I never once had disappointing service here, ever. The staff are super nice and kind Even if you don't like dim sum, I still highly recommend coming to this restaurant because the Chinese dishes are also done really well
