    Mugoo Gai Pan
    Aimee L.

    Stil so grateful to Cagami Ramen for being closed that one day and forcing us to stop here for lunch one day. Still one of the best Chinese options in the county so far. Spring Garden is so much closer but Sesame edges them out with their soft noodles. The same lady is there every time and she looks so sad and thin but she's very nice. This is a takeout place, clearly, because while it was empty inside, people kept coming to pick up food. We tried the house special with soft noodles which was full of meats and had great flavor. I finished most of it myself before I left Ventura. The mugoo gai pan was the best dish, I believe, with the white sauce Mom and I love. The happy family mandarin style would have been better with the same white sauce. I had trouble with the broccoli when I snacked on an empty stomach. It's probably me getting less able to digest it, but that's really regrettable because this dish is very very tasty too! Steamed rice is extra, $1 a scoop but worth it. Eating out is a privilege. I'm going to enjoy it while I can still afford it!

    Sesame Garden is a very small Chinese restaurant on Daily Drive in the Camarillo Plaza shopping center near the Habit Burger Grill and Presto Pasta. It's also my favorite Chinese restaurant in Camarillo. They have a great selection of items, all with generous portions and at great prices. All of their dishes are excellent and always fresh. In addition, they also have great lunch specials at great prices. And the staff is very helpful and friendly. One thing to be aware of is they can get pretty busy on weekend evenings but since they're really small (only around 10 tables inside and 2 outside) you may have to wait if you want to dine in. So, I recommend weekdays when it's less crowded. To sum up, I highly recommend Sesame Garden, the best Chinese restaurant in Camarillo.

    Top dish is Orange Flavored Chicken and botton dish is House Special Crispy Chicken.

    Yesterday evening, ordered Orange Flavored Chicken, House Special Crispy Chicken and Vegetable Spring Rolls on line through QMENU using my phone. Assumed that rice would be provided since I didn't see any rice on the menu other than Fried Rice Dishes, however no rice came with the order. Went back today and looked again and saw white rice listed under the Appetizers, so that was my mistake. The Orange Flavored Chicken is listed as "Spicy. Tossed with orange peel, green onion and chili peppers for spice." The dish was not spicy. It was ever so slightly orange flavored with one tiny piece of green onion and red peppers that had no heat or flavor in them. While the chicken in both orders was tender, both were coated in a thick pasty sweet sauce which I assume involved a lot of corn starch, although I'm not sure as I am a lousy cook. The only way I knew which chicken dish was the Orange Flavored Chicken was the fact that it contained lots of chili peppers. And I was also unimpressed by the spring rolls. I was very disappointed with both of the entries that my wife and I ordered. Perhaps the food is better when ordered and eaten at the restaurant, but for certain I will never again order food on line from Sesame Garden.

    Orange chicken, crispy shrimp, large wor wonton soup, rice

    Togo order: We got the Orange chicken, crispy shrimp( walnut shrimp but they call it a different name and no walnuts) , large wor wonton soup(per the restaurant wor wonton soup, is wonton without the noodles) , large white rice. Everything was crispy and good, the soup had all the meats and shrimp, and I asked for extra baby bok choy.

    Beef Noodle ~ perfect lunch meal! Warm and delicious and fresh !!

It also appeared to me that the food tasted slightly better at the Alhambra location, but that may very well have been my bias. The restaurant workers looked more organized vs this location that has more of a traditional Chinese vibe, slightly tired building, not particularly clean, service feels a bit rushed and sloppy. We went there for Thanksgiving Dinner and it wasn't packed but we went at the opening time and the people kept coming. 90% looked Chinese which also speaks for the authenticity.

They offer lunch/dinner specials that are great if you don't want to share. For $12-13 at lunch, you can get your choice of entree + rice + egg roll + soup/salad. Portions are very generous too! One person got the Szechuwan chicken lunch special for $12 and wasn't able to finish the chicken. The rest of us shared a couple dishes off the regular menu: #102 Combination seafood ($23) #620 Fish with black bean sauce ($18) #804 Szechuwan shredded pork ($15) 3 bowls of rice ($1.75 each) Of the three dishes, we liked the seafood and fish the best. They were more savory than sweet, though they were still quite sweet. I didn't like the shredded pork at all as it was much sweeter than the other two. Portions for everything were generous and we took the remaining 1/3 of the food home for lunch the next day.
