Cambo Flare is a hidden gem in Big Lake!…read more Since we visited last, they have changed up their dining experience, but we enjoyed it! You scan the QR code at your table, order online, pay online and someone delivers all items (to your table) in takeout containers. Even with this updated experience, without "wait staff", everyone was helpful and attentive. The signature sticks, with the yum-yum sauce, has to be my personal favorite. You have to be so careful not to fill up on their delicious wontons and purple egg rolls (appetizers!) The restaurant and restrooms are clean and welcoming - nothing fancy, just what you would expect for small town dining! It looks like they host local musicians from time to time. The owner was working alongside his team and so friendly! He often treats his customers to his signature sweet wontons (secret flavors!) Our only complaint, and this comes paired with a picky eater. The description of their dishes doesn't necessarily disclose all vegetables/ingredients used. So, some surprises were had! It was delicious and a very minor complaint! We can't wait to visit again!

The restaurant was small, and in a very cute location with a nice private parking lot. As you enter…read moreyou notice it's not too decorated and definitely has room for improvement on that front. You order at the cash register in the entrance and they will bring the food to you. We ordered a fried chicken sandwich, Char Siu, egg rolls and rice. The favorite was definitely the chicken. It was very crispy, thick, moist and flavorful. It was on a pretzel bun, which normally I am a fan of but I think it takes away from the flavor of the fried chicken and the gochujang sauce we got and doesn't quite make sense. To me, it seems more haha a burger bun than fried chicken. The char Siu was good, but very small pieces of meat for the big price tag. The egg rolls were delicious and we liked the way they were cut along with the dipping sauce. Overall, we would come back but I think we would focus on just getting fried chicken and apps and avoid the rest.

The chicken was crispy and flavorful by itself as well, a big win! The char siu was tasty but the portion size was a bit small. The service was very quick and efficient but the restaurant was pretty loud and it was kind of hard to hear if you were trying to have a conversation. It seemed like just an acoustics thing in the space we were sitting.

Ordering from Vangz Kitchen was super easy. Their online menu is great and explains what each dish…read moreis and customizations available. There is a good variety of Chinese, Hmong, and Vietnamese options (mainly pho). When I picked up my order the location appeared very clean and chill. I wouldn't mind eating in the restaurant. They also have kiosks where you order rather than ordering with a person, but someone was close to greet me and hand me my to go order. Onto the food, my friend ordered the sesame chicken with white rice. The portion is pretty good sized, unfortunately I don't have a photo. The sauce is very dark, and didnt really give sesame chicken as you'd probably expect from other sesame chickens in the twin cities. However it was a nice umami and cooked well. I enjoyed them, but it was not to my friend's taste nor what she expected. I ordered the braised pork belly special with purple sticky rice and Hmong sausage. The pork belly came with one egg, you can add more for an additional cost. The sausage comes with a spicy sauce, which you can also get extra for additional cost. The pork belly was soooo fatty. Like barely any fat rendering seems to have occurred and for being braised and fatty the meat was surprisingly dry/tough. The flavor was very sweet. It would have been nice for a bit more salty/umami to shine through. The egg was yummy, sauce penetrated the egg white pretty completely. Not sure how those are supposed to be in this particular dish, but it was a hard boil, not jammy or anything like that. The Hmong sausage was my favorite, very nice texture and flavor. The sauce is super spicy and pairs well with everything. The purple sticky rice was also perfect. Last, I added on a mango cheese bun which was fresh, lightly sweet, and delicious however it was not made from Vangz. It was pre packed from a St Paul bakery, so still local at least but I was expecting from their dessert options that those were made in house. Overall, the meal was decent. I purposely went with a special dish rather than a more popular choice because I like to show different options in my reviews. I hate when I can't find the whole menu in actual customer photos. If people are only ordering 5 items from you, that says something about your menu and overall food quality. I'm still curious to see what else Vangz has to offer before I write them off. I was torn between choosing the pork belly stir fry or crispy pork belly. I'd also love to try their pho. I will be back to try more and update my review :)

Had the Fresh Spring Rolls With Noodle and Shrimp, Papaya Salad Thai Style, Hot Pot Seafood and Thai Fried Rice. There was only 3 of us and we over ordered, as usual. Fresh Spring Rolls With Noodle and Shrimp - had mango & avocado inside, would be so much better if the mango and avocados were cold. Came with two sauces nuoc nam and Peanut sauce. Papaya Salad Thai Style - made the mistake of ordering this medium spicy. I overestimated how much spice I can take. But it was good, had great flavor and had nice crispy pork cracklings on top. Hot Pot Seafood - the broth for this was so good would be really perfect on a really cold day. Thai Fried Rice - this was just OK tasted like regular fried rice. Would definitely go back if we're in the area again.
