    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!

    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.

    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.

    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.

Customary at most Vietnamese restaurants, you get your food with minimal check ins and not even a plate clearing until the bill comes. This was NOT the case here. There service was definitely in the A/A+ range! I ordered on my phone via QR code, but there was an option to order in person from a server. I ordered many items to try out. I ordered spring rolls, crispy salt and pepper wings, grilled pork banh mi, beef dac beit pho, and a Thai iced tea. Thai Iced Tea was pretty good. Grade: A I thought the Spring Rolls were decent, but what made them even better was the peanut sauce! I always hate when the peanut sauce is watery and this was far from that! An excellent gooey peanut sauce and maybe one of the best I've had fpr consistency. Grade: A- Crispy salt and pepper wings definitely had an incredible crunch. They were up there in crunchiness. The drumettes were meaty which I appreciated. They were well seasoned also. I think I need to try their other wings before crowning these, but some of the cruncheist wings I've had for sure. Grade: A- Beef Dac Biet Pho had some real high quality meat in it. I had options in noodle and my go-to for any pho spot is the egg noodles. I wish it had more bo vien in it, but I appreciated the combo of meats. The broth seemed authentic, but I wanted a tad more flavor out of it without adding sauces. Overall, the pho grade was a B+ bordering an A-. The star of the show was the grilled pork banh mi. The meat was tender and saucy. In fairness I asked for extra pickles and mayo, but I was very impressed. The bread had the crispy crunch we all look for but minus the stale bread. The breads soft yet crispness made it seem as if it just came out of the oven! I'm going to dub this as the best I've had in the Bay Area! There I said it! Grade: A+ Everyone who ordered the sampler seemed very pleased at other tables, I would definitely try that. Also, want to try the other banh mis and noodle options for the pho. There was a nice vibe at this place. I didn't feel rushed although they do close fairly early at 8pm. The server's mom is the one cooking in the kitchen and I appreciated the family feeling at this place. They do have a newer location in San Francisco that has a DJ Friday nights that I may check out. I believe the server said that they are open til 2am on most nights, but I may have misheard her. Feel free to Yelp that location. My only disappointment was that I really love papaya salad and it was not an option. I may make this my go-to spot from now on, but as a Yelper, we all know we will keep trying new places. This will be the one I continue to frequent. Well done Pho de Nguyen!

The menu has so many great seafood options, especially if you're a crab lover. They offer a variety of different crab flavors, so there's a good chance you'll find one that fits your taste. The crab was flavorful, saucy, and so satisfying to dig into. They even give you bibs upon request, which honestly feels necessary if you're planning to go all in. The prawns were also a highlight. They were a decent size, cooked well, and perfectly seasoned. We also ordered the garlic noodles, which were great and exactly the kind of buttery, garlicky carb moment you want with seafood. The green beans were a nice addition too and helped balance out the meal with something fresh and veggie-forward. The only thing I'd probably skip next time would be the raw oysters which didn't taste as fresh. Their fried chicken was delicious though! Service was friendly, and the food came out quickly, which made the whole experience even better. Honestly, we couldn't have asked for a better casual seafood feast. It was so good that my husband and I actually came back two days later just to get the fried chicken and crab again. That pretty much says it all.

    I came here with some friends two days ago. We ordered two crabs (salted egg yolk & peppercorn…read moreflavors), df chicken wings, garlic noodles, pepper steak cubes, and stir fry pea sprouts. Everything came out piping hot. The crabs were fresh, chicken wings were not overly battered, noodles were al dente, and pea sprouts were in season. Whenever I have crab, my favorite sauce/seasoning is the salted egg yolk. Just a hint of saltiness but packed full of umami flavors. After tasting the peppercorn flavor, I found myself loving it too! All the ingredients (peppercorn, tons of garlic "garlicky heaven", and butter) blended well together like one big happy family. This is my new favorite seasoning, a slight edge above the salted egg yolk, as it doesn't taste as greasy. I wish we had taken photos but I was very hungry. This place also has a full bar with 3 good size tv's, which is nice when you want to watch the nba finals too. I thought check-in was on the left as this was the waiting area, and there was a small 'reception' counter which I found confusing. Soooo just a note, be sure to check-in on the right side. We left a little past closing time (9pm) and they didn't rush us. Oh and we were given ice cream cones for dessert. Yuuummm!!! Will definitely be back and highly recommend. Come hungry and leave happy.
