Restaurant Be My Guest — Restaurant in Helsinki sub-region

I really like Vietnamese cuisine and tried it in a lot of places in Helsinki area. This one was one of the most disappointing experiences. Small Banh mi for 12,7€ with dry chicken and not crunchy bread. I tried Banh mi in Vietnam and in different places in Helsinki and "Be my guest" had the worst one.

Too bad, because the chicken was beautifully seasoned and overall very tasty.

I would expect this place to be a...

It is as if the other reviews and photos are from a different restaurant. Unfortunately did not take my own pics being too disappointed to care, but I am bothered by the discrepancy. The summer rolls were very dry and lacking in freshness and taste. Pho was pretty much just vapid broth with a few garnishes. No flavouring, no cilantro for example. Yet the pictures show an abundance. It was a very toned down and ingredient-poor showing. Maybe they had a crisis in that department, no way of knowing, but this was not the best Vietnamese in Helsinki, hardly even in that part of the city. Bland. An...
