Although the name of this establishment is cringe worthy, reminiscent of annoying text messaging diction, the quality of Misschu’s menu overwhelms this embarrassing fault completely.
At first glance, the boxes at Misschu seem like they aren’t going to be big enough to fill you up. However, it is these tuckshop/takeaway containers that the meals are presented in that gives you this deceiving impression. We found that these boxes carry with them a literal depth, as well as providing an easy and effective way to manage our meals. Attraction is displayed in their humble presentation and specificity of flavour. In this, Misschu evokes a humility that is often not found in many food establishments.
Misschu’s meals expose themselves to personal experimentation. The Vietnamese Warm Vermicelli Salads can be enjoyed as a healthy lunch or as the base for an indulgent dinner. You can choose from a selection of accompanying meats – Lemongrass beef, Chilli prawn, Satay Chicken, Seared Atlantic Salmon or with Traditional Pork Spring Rolls. All the salads have individual flavours yet share a similarity in freshness and simplicity. Standing alone, one of these salads will fill you up, however, we recommend ordering a side serve of the Prawn and Crab Net Deep Fried Spring Rolls. Mix these two together and voila! You will feel a wave of accomplishment as your date’s eyes light up, impressed by your “creativity” and oriental sensibilities.
On the topic of impressing a date, it is a must, an absolute MUST, that you order a crushed ice fruit drink. This chilling beverage combines either fresh lychee or pineapple with blended mint and crushed ice. The flavours spring back and forth between your taste buds, work there way down your body and positively contaminate you with an energy only fresh fruit can achieve. The cool, sweet liquidity of these drinks contrast the spice of Misschu’s meals in a tasty equilibrium of bounce and flavour. A perfect summer treat.
If you’re that someone on the hunt for Vietnams classic Pho beef noodle soup, why not dive into a bowl of Misschu’s Wagyu Beef Pho? It’s the same simple meal, the same attractive price, it’s just Wagyu Beef. For the novice beef eater, take note that Wagyu cattle produce beef of superlative standard, meat defined by its high eating quality, natural rich flavour, and impeccable tenderness. So for that reason alone, Misschu’s Wagyu Pho is miles ahead.
This self-proclaimed Tuckshop is a fitting name for the modest street-side hole in the wall. Size limits this restaurant to only outside seating. This can be a problematic during Sydney’s winter. This being said, order a soup and you’ll be fine! The furniture outside Misschu is creatively themed and works perfectly to combat the slope and lack of seating space. It’s easy enough to sit on a milk crate and be satisfied. However, Misschu has come up with the ingenious idea of attaching fitted pieces of polished wood to the crates bottoms, turning them into seats fit for a street-side establishment. Perfect.
As far as service goes, Misschu is fast and effective. Of special note is their bicycle delivery service. For obvious reasons, we love this.
The cost: Our recommended creative meal deal and ice drink will set you back about $20. However you could be satisfied at Misschu for as little as $12. Be warned, the menu is so appealing that you could easily find yourself indulging in seconds, thirds and possibly dessert.
