Misschu — Restaurant in Melbourne

🔥😍

Wow! I could eat this every day, and still not have enough! Yes, that's how good my bowl of food was. Having read consistently good reviews of this place, I was hoping that it lived up to its name. It did, and then some. More on this later.

The funny but cute restaurant name was an immediate point of attraction. Having always wanted to try this place, I ended up ordering one dish, and if it's not obvious already, I loved it! 😃

💯🥳

I ordered the Wok'd Chicken Breast Pho (Chicken breast wok'd in Pure Olive Oil, caramelised onions, fresh rice noodles, beef pho broth, spring onion & coriander garnish, fried shallots, served with beanshoots, fresh basil, lemon wedge and hoisin sauce;

Dairy Free. May contain traces of nuts and sesame. Contains fish.), $22.35 (all inclusive). With a hefty description, it had to be good. No, it was great! 🎉 I was keeping my expectations in check, but man, this dish was bomb! Everything was perfect- the broth, the noodles, the chicken, the temperature, the presentation....and I loved every morsel of it. The second bright red sauce was so good, I don't know what it was, but it added some hotness, colours, and flavours to the broth. The fried onions imparted a rich texture, which added to the warm broth and the chicken was tender, succulent and delicious. Overall, an extraordinary dish on all counts.

💗😋

If I'm anywhere around this restaurant, I'm going to visit and order another bowl of pho. My first bowl was extremely good, and I can't wait for more! I'm extremely impressed by their quality of food, and I highly recommend this place!

Dish ordered - Wok'd Chicken...

I’ve always loved misschu & have ordered from there several times during lockdown. Unfortunately today I waited almost 2 hours for a delivery via UberEats, I eventually called in after the 2nd driver had cancelled delivering my order to me as misschu was ‘wrapping up’ & was told that they were having an issue as there were not enough drivers. This was obviously a lie as whilst we were on the call a 3rd driver was at the restaurant. After I pointed this out to the staff member, the 3rd driver canceled, then the order was canceled and 2 hours of my time was wasted. The only option they could offer is for me to come & pick it up (note that they could not confirm if the food was ready). Long story short, don’t bother ordering - try & eat in to save yourself time & given false excuses as to why they can’t operate. UberEats has a functionality to turn of orders so you don’t have to keep customers...

I was expecting better for $15. I ordered the chicken pho. It came tepid warm. The portions were small with about 90% being rice noodles and barely a handful for the chicken and rest was bulked up with bean sprouts! Not generous at all! The flavour was good though although the soup did taste odd, kind of plastic and strong of anise...not like traditional pho. Couldn't taste any bone broth in at all so it's probably powder stock as it was quite salty. The only good thing was the 4 small marinated pieces of chicken that I could fit all on one tablespoon....
