    Imperial Rolls Cha Gio
    Kevin L.

    Stopped here for lunch since I was craving soup. I always go for bun no hue (bbh) as it's one of my favorite things to eat after a night of drinks. It's a great hangover cure. I started with the imperial egg rolls. I'll say, these were delicious, huge portion, and very affordable. These were the highlight of the meal. The egg rolls were very crispy and flavorful. As for the bbh, I wasn't a fan. It wasn't the traditional version I typically get at other Vietnamese restaurants. It didn't have the pork feet or pork blood. The broth was good but everything else was meh. I don't expect too much for service or ambiance at a pho shop. This one however stood out where the service was pretty bad. The workers didn't seem like they wanted to be there. I probably would check out another place if you're craving Vietnamese food.

    We used to come eat here a lot. I'm not sure why we stopped but decided to try take out. Seems like quality has gone down so I'd be very particular about what I order the next time. Most of everything was pretty overcooked/dry but some of the meats had really good flavor. Even the rice was super dry. I would say stick to the grilled meats like the grilled beef and the pork chops. The egg rolls were also delicious. Do not get the lemongrass chicken. Didn't taste anything like lemongrass and was super dry. We also got a braised catfish which was alright but missed that sweet tang Vietnamese braised meats usually have. The five spice chicken was also alright, needed more umami. Overall, you can consider trying this place but I don't know that I necessarily would come back.

    (#24-C) Special Combination Beef Noodle Soup (Pho Xe Lua) with Beef Slices, Beef Balls, Tendon, and Tripe
    Mike L.

    Years ago, back when one of our family friends put Le Petite Camille on my radar for the very first time, I remember hearing pretty good things about this place. Nothing to the level that would suggest the food was amazing, but certainly that it was pretty good. In the years since, though? I haven't heard much of anything, other than those same relatives mentioning that the food here isn't as impressive as it used to be. Which, oddly, isn't the worst thing because now that I've been here myself, I might have started to question their tastebuds! Even though my go-to spot for pho in Millbrae, Ben Tre, is right across the street, we opted to come here instead both of curiosity and sheer convenience (love that they have their own parking lot). Inside, the restaurant is surprisingly big and even have a couple of long tables for larger groups. As for the menu, it's family-style, with a lot of dishes to be shared, but it didn't see as extensive as I would've guessed. That said, it could be just because they only have a few types of pho to choose from, as it actually has a wide variety of offerings - appetizers, spring rolls, salads, wraps, banh mi, soups/noodle soups, vermicelli bowls, rice plates, stir fried noodles, and a bunch of claypots, entrees, and vegetarian dishes. -- (#1) IMPERIAL ROLLS (Cha Gio) - Deep Fried Rolls with Minced Pork, Carrots, Taro, and Onion...$11 This looked fantastic on the plate, but the imperial rolls were a little uneven. On the plus side, the overall dish is generous in size and the filling was decently flavorful. However, the rolls were barely crisp, let alone crispy, and were actually quite oily. -- (#5) MINCED SHRIMP ON SUGARCANE (Banh Hoi Chao Tom) Served with Lettuce, Vermicelli Noodles, Pickles, Cilantro, and Peanut Sauce or Fish Sauce...$18 To be fair, I've probably been spoiled by the one that my friend's mom makes, but this fell short for me. While I appreciated all of the sides to make lettuce wraps, the shrimp itself was underwhelming - not all that hot, not much char/crispiness to it, and not all that flavorful. -- (#24-C) SPECIAL COMBINATION BEEF NOODLE SOUP (Pho Xe Lua) with Beef Slices, Beef Balls, Tendon, and Tripe...$17 Not bad, but hardly special. I liked that the noodles had a nice bite and that the noodle-to-meat ratio favored the latter. However, despite how it had a decent body to it, the broth didn't have as strong of a beefy flavor as I would've liked. -- (#73) SPECIAL COMBINATION CLAYPOT (Com Tay Cam) - Stir-fried Green Onions, Ginger, Shrimp, Chicken, and Chinese Sausage with Special House Sauce on Jasmine Rice...$16 I was pretty excited for this one, but it was a disappointment. Mainly, it's not a true claypot - it's closer to a rice bowl, as the rice wasn't infused with flavors nor did it develop a crust. The portion also felt a bit light, particularly on chicken, but it did have a lot of sausage. With regards to service, a few of my fellow Yelpers have mentioned that it can move a little slow, but I can't say we ran into the same problem. Almost as soon as we walked in, a worker greeted us, walked us to our table, and then came back about five minutes later to take our order. In fact, we actually had the opposite problem, as our dishes came out suspiciously fast. It makes perfect sense that our pho came out so quickly, but there's no way our claypot would've arrived right after that if they had cooked everything together. However, it would if they just scooped in pre-cooked white rice into a heated claypot and then topped it off. Given how the majority of what they have to offer are family-style dishes, it's entirely possible, if not likely, that we just didn't order the best that Le Petite Camile is known for. In time, perhaps I'll end up coming back again to find out but until then, I can't say anything that I've tried thus far sparks an overwhelming desire to do so.

    Always love coming here. Mom and pop shops are my absolute favorite! They are sweet and diligent. Service is kind and clean. The food always hits home and the imperial rolls are definitely like home. Crunchy and flavorful. Wrap them the traditional way with the lettuce and noodles and its delicious got the pho today but always love the Bo Kho and Bun bo hue!

    Combination appetizer

    We had originally intended to eat at a different restaurant nearby, however the many diners both exiting & entering Le Petite Camille lured us to see what the fuss was about. We started with a Combination Appetizer which, among other things, included minced shrimp on sugarcane, but I was only after the imperial rolls. Tasty pork filling in a sufficiently-bubbly wrapping. The soup in my Pho Ga had as much flavor as you'd expect from a clear broth. It had a hint of garlic & onion, I added an obscene amount of lime & sriracha to enhance the taste. A solid bowl with white chicken breast & slightly al dente noodles but the pho restaurants I frequent have more complexity to its broth. La Petite Camille is a small, bustling spot with staff who get parties in & out. Their regulars will be pleased to know I won't be taking up one of their tables in the future.

    Parking? Easy. Seated and served right away--zero stress. Ordered the Special Pho and Pho Tai for my husband. Generous portions and a perfectly balanced broth--clean, savory, with a touch of sweetness. Comfort food, done right. Ambiance: You know you're in the right spot when the Vietnamese community is dining in too. That's the real stamp of approval.

    This restaurant has sadly gone downhill. The food is mediocre at best. My chicken pho broth lacked any real flavor, and the chicken was pretty tough. The stir fry vegetables were standard. Meanwhile, prices are above average and definitely more than I would pay for what I'm getting. To top it off, our server was sullen and bordered on rude. The setting is old and dingy. There are plenty of other far better Vietnamese restaurants in the area. Go there instead.

    Haven't been to La Petite Camille in a while. Every time we used to come, it was always crowded. Was close by and wanted my friend to try good authentic Vietnamese food. We ordered: Combination Appetizer to share. Yummy. Authentic .. had to learn to roll fast otherwise the rolls would still be stuck on the plate. We also each ordered:marinated pork clay pot, Vietnamese Bbq pork and beef noodle soup. It turned out to be a lot of food. All was yummy. Would definitely come back again.

    The BBW beef banh mi was disappointing. The bread was dried out and the beef was tough and crewy. The shredded pickled daikon didn't provide the typical crunch needed in a typical banh mi sandwich. (They should have been julienned for better texture.)

    Chay soup vegetarian. Flavorless
    Kayleen R.

    Ambiance: 0/5 Not clean, not friendly. Table not wiped between guests. Water glass with lipstick on it. Food: 2/5 Vegetarian broth is literally hot water. Zero flavor. Basil for soup was not fresh, slimy. Vegetarian imperial rolls were good. No mint, only cilantro. Service: 1/5: quick but not friendly. I tried to get her attention and when we made eye contact she yelled, "what?" Across the room. I just needed some more napkins after using one to clean my cup.

    Vietnamese Crepe Banh Xeo-fresh and crunchy
    Lana C.

    Came here on a Wednesday at about 6:30pm for dinner with some Friends. Place was rather empty with only two other tables, but it was still early. By 7pm, the place was almost full. Eating area was clean and tidy. There are only two restrooms but they were clean. Service was quick, servers were helpful and friendly. This was our first time there and we had plenty of questions. Food was on par with other Vietnamese restaurants we've tried. Everything was fresh and delicious. The fish sauce was tasty with the right amount of sweetness and tartness. The crepe was nice and crunchy, and it was filled with veggies. Loved it. Do recommend and will be back.

    hello Amanda Yes we do!… 

    Is it Authentic Vietnamese food?

    As far as I know, it is. I have never been to Vietnam for comparison but it is consistent with other "authentic" Vietnamese restaurants I have frequented. The food quality here is excellent in my opinion.

It takes a little bit of time for the food to be prepared and ready but in the mean time you can always take pictures with their various photo ops (such as the dino eating Putin and King Neptune on the roof) there or go into their anti- animal cruelty gas station shop. There's a couple small picnic table seating outside, but it was raining at the time and already some people there so decided to take our food to go. Definitely do need a table to eat the food since it's a lot to share though or at least be careful if you're eating it in a car. We got the: 1) Mobba'q Spaghetti: -This is their impossible spaghetti with impossible ground beef meat and a hint of bbq sauce. -Reminds me of sweet Filipino spaghetti from Jollibee's but of course vegan and you get more spaghetti and not as drowned in sauce, which is a good thing. As a simple spaghetti enjoyer, this was probably my favorite dish of what we ordered. 2) Louisiana Fried Chicken Plate: -We can choose up to 3 sides and we got the Southern style collard greens (hey, my beardie eats this), smackeroni (mac n cheese, contains gluten, but soy free), and potato salad (contains soy, but is gluten free). -You get a HUGE amount of sides. You can probably get full on the sides by themselves. They do NOT skimp out on the portions. -Delicious mac n cheese. Sauce is a bit more "fluid" and gooey and less dense and cheesy which makes it much easier to eat. Solid potato salad with the perfect sour and creamy taste. Big chunks of potatoes and other veggies in included. -You get several HUGE pieces of their Louisiana fried chicken. No bones since it's vegan so another plus for me. Nice and crispy on the outside and not too dry on the inside. Super dense protein bits that go great with their sauce. Definitely can get full from this and it's easily shareable. 3) Vegan Rib Tips: -It has like that Asian pork floss texture but super condensed and obviously vegan. -Went great with their bbq sauce, completely different texture but a delicious protein snack on the side. If I'm visiting my chuckwallas again, I don't mind stopping by for another visit.

We went on Yelp and searched for Vegan food and found this interesting food truck with great reviews. We were excited as this truck was parked in a gas station with a vegan yes completely vegan food mart and a giant statue of a rooster outside. This was the most fun part of this experience. The prices on the food truck did not match what the young lady - new employee " I'm sorry I don't know this is my 6th day" - rang up ( $1.60 more per item). When I asked her and her colleague( Caucasian lady about 5 ft 4 inches tall), the latter just shrugged her shoulders, walked out of the truck and passed us without responding on her way to the gas station rest room where she stayed for the next 12 minutes( till we left. I asked our first contact about the hours posted on the sign on the truck as in open for breakfast and she stated nope, maybe 11 or so. It was sad because the new employee was trying so hard to push the taco meal deal combo for an additional $11 on us. The tacos had two tiny pieces of soy. ( photo). We got the food to go and unwrapped everything at the hotel. The burrito was not bad. We were starving and just woofed it down. I was tempted to call the number on the side of the truck and run a check on the owner who has a different truck in San Francisco but decided against it. Sometimes you just got to let it go.

    "Great hole-in-the-wall Mexican near SFO airport"…read more Came here for dinner at 6pm on a Monday night, based on good Yelp reviews. The place is unassuming-- has a thin stretch of outdoor seating and a handful of tables inside. Not super bright in lighting, and a TV inside was showing a baseball game. Seemed like a lot of the business was takeout, as people would come, hover, get food, and leave. I was GOING to order the fish tacos or a fish quesadilla, but I was swayed by the picture of a breaded fish plate special. My son got the carne asada quesadilla, and others at the table got a veggie burrito and a chicken bowl. Food came out pretty quick-- maybe around or just over 10 minutes (the fish plate and veggie burrito came out slightly after the other two). I was very impressed that the fish plate looked even BETTER than the photo (see photos of both). The fish was HUGE. There was a generous helping of guacamole, lots of fresh avocado slides, some onion and cabbage, etc. There was a nice bed of lettuce on the side with sour cream over it, and the rice & beans (covered with a thin layer of cheese) on another side. The fish plate was just delicious. The batter wasn't overpowering or too heavy, and the fish was excellent inside (and very flat). I really liked the sauce in a little cup on the fish, or having it with avocado or guacamole, or even straight. The rice and beans were yummy too. Such a great dish, and it was under $20 before tax and tip. My dining companions all liked their food, though my son said the carne asada meat was "just good" (he had a bite of the chicken and said that was better). The person at the register was friendly. And as mentioned, the prices were very reasonable. I'd happily eat here again if in the area. Great portion size, great quality, good value, etc. Enjoy!
