Reviews for Cambo Flare in Big Lake, MN
Nicely decorated and even a stage for occasional live music. Not a large menu but, what they serve is done extremely well!... Exceptional plating skills with lots of emphasis on color. Egg Rolls are made with purple cabbage which gives them aninteresting color and texture. Great idea for a Vikings game! Pork Tacos are reminiscent of Bahn Mi and were a little on thesweet side for me. However, the cilantro provided enough contrast to make it work. A couple of slices of jalapeno would reallymake these sing! Star of the show for us was the Vegetable Stir Fry which I added Shrimp, Chicken, and Beef. Never had a stirfry with Brussels Sprouts and was super impressed with the attention to detail here. EACH cut surface had a nice char thatbrought out the sweetness! Several varieties of peppers and cauliflower really made the color stand out! Meats were perfectlycooked and also enjoyed the lack of a cloying, thick sauce that can overwhelm the dish. We all enjoyed the meal tremendously.We'll definitely be back. Well done! Read more
Great waiter! My fried rice was a good portion for the money. My husband got tiny egg rolls and he ordered chicken wings but... instead of whole chicken wings he got halves. Five halves for $13! He left hungry and disappointed. The bubble tea was greatthough. They need to charge reasonable prices and have portions that are not tiny. Read more
This is one of our favorite places in Big Lake. Seriously, this town is so lucky to have such an awesome food establishment ran... by people who have lots of passion. You have to look for them, they are just east of the downtown area, on the highway betweenthe city and Elk River. They are across the street from El Loro. Read more
Amazing food, best chicken fried rice I?ve ever had, every time I eat fried rice now I?m always disappointed because it?s never... as good as this place?s fried rice. I also tried the pork tacos, egg rolls, steak sticks, as well as the Lo mein, and all wereabsolutely amazing! The owner is super nice, friendly, and helpful. They have an app and reward system which is a very nicefeature. Place is nicely decorated and has a chess table. There?s even live music most Saturdays. Read more

Get two orders of wontons! You won't regret it! I wish I did! They have a thin crisp shell with a perfect blend of sweet and... salty. I can't stop thinking about them! Both the beef and chicken skewers are flavored well and were tender. Upgrade to thefried rice and ask for the yum yum sauce. The matcha milk tea wasn't too sweet. I will be back! Thank you for the great meal! Read more
Owner was fantastic and friendly. The mushroom based Pho broth(V) was by far the most flavorful broth I?ve ever had. The noodles... were also the right size and texture. 10/5 stars will be coming back. Thank you ! Read more
Wow! This food is so oddly like my Vietnamese Mother?s authentic cooking, I thought maybe she was hiding back there cooking!... ???? This restaurant is a hidden gem for amazing food! Get the steak sticks, eggrolls and wontons! You won?t be disappointed! Read more
