One of the oldest and well-known eateries in all of Dinkytown, Camdi Restaurant has been a fixture in the heart of the U of M’s entertainment district for more than 30 years. Camdi and Kiet Phan, both of Chinese descent, escaped Vietnam just before the infamous war and settled in Minnesota. They brought home-style authentic Vietnamese and Chinese recipes with them.
To eat @ Camdi is to be part of a history owned by the loving husband & wife team. Camdi , the wife & chef, is one incredibly beautiful & talented woman. She is the soul of this restaurant & those enigmatic paintings. I loved her pork belly rice dish, bun rieu, bun bo hue, fish balls soup, hainanese chicken & practically all dishes on the menu. I enjoyed her cooking & good heart that I did bus tables for her to eat her food more often LOL.
I'm not gonna comment much with the food quality in this place. I might have a very high expectation when it comes to Chinese food. Absolutely nothing authentic when it comes to their Chinese food. My complains is more to how disgusting this place is. Right before my order come, I happened to go to the bathroom to wash my hands. On the way to the bathroom, I saw the way they handle dirty dishes and waste foods just next to the bathroom . They just stacked all their dirty dishes and also the waste food. Honestly I almost throw up and just walk out from the restaurant. On top of that, the quality of the food is just way below standards. Definitely not gonna come back here.
Delicious vegan menu! We spent about $30 on a soda, vegan fried dumpling appetizer (which was was beyond wonderful), and two vegan dishes (which were huge, we wound up bringing almost half home with us). The vegan orange fried tofu was great, but the spice warning is real. Service was friendly too.
Always great food and great service. Ran by a friendly couple. I come here once or twice a week. Awesome to have a separate vegan-friendly menu in addition to the standard menu. The small size does not feel at all cramped, rather quaint, and has beautiful and unique artwork all done by one of the owners who also is one of the chefs. This place never disappoints and is a great Dinkytown spot for lunch between classes or dinner with friends and family.
