After quick and simple Vietnamese food in the CBD? MissChu is the place to go. It has a tiny shopfront so if you're not looking for it, it's pretty easy to miss.

| 'sashimi tuna' and 'satay chicken & coconut young' rice paper rolls |
Rice paper rolls are what MissChu is known for and these certainly impressed. We ordered one with sashimi tuna, and another with satay chicken and coconut. Both were delicious.

| traditional pork Hanoi spring rolls |
This is nothing like the typical boring spring rolls you get from the take away store, which are usually filled with a bunch of shredded vegetables and little to no meat. The traditional Vietnamese spring roll is filled with a fragrant mince mixture with a range of different textured vegies. These were the most authentic I've had in the Melbourne CBD - crispy on the outside, fragrant juicy meat filling on the inside.
The only complaint I'd make is that for $6, I'd have expected more. In Springvale or Footscray, one would get a good 6-8 of these crunchy treats.
Overall Impression: 9/10
