Le Bambou Restaurant

The Best Restaurants to Try in Del Mar, California | Eater San Diego

"Located in the Beachside Del Mar shopping complex, strip mall restaurant Le Bambou punches above its weight. This family-owned French-inflected Vietnamese restaurant focuses on grilled, roasted, steamed, and stir-fried plates. The menu has expanded to include a wide selection of soups, featuring several versions of pho, as well as a hot and spicy chicken rice noodle soup. They also offer crispy chicken and vegetable Imperial rolls, as well as entrees like shaking beef and sauteed chicken with lemongrass and hot peppers. Try the specialty dishes, such as Cornish game hen Le Bambou, stewed in a sweet and savory sauce, or salmon or white fish simmered in a clay pot." - Helen I. Hwang
