| - Got some mixed feelings about Mylys. It was recommended to me by someone who seemed to know his Viet food very well.
We went on a Saturday mid-afternoon, just in time for the end of the lunch special. For 8.50$ I got 2 imperial rolls and a beef pho; for that price, I was like wow, this is a bargain.
So its a bargain deal, because: a) the imperial rolls come frozen from some grocery store (they are NOT homemade - see photo) and b) the pho portion was tiny.
The pho was good though, so at least that's that, but had I known what the lunch special really was, I would have just ordered the pho from the normal menu for $10.
Also, the server who took our order was pretty rude, condescending and did not seem to comprehend either the French nor the English language? Like I was about to ask him if maybe he spoke Spanish.... All I asked was what beef cut was served with the lunch special beef pho and all he kept repeating was that it was beef. Yes, thank you, I know how to read "beef pho" but I wanted to know which cut. Anyways. It ended up being raw beef slices (I prefer cooked flank).
On the plus side, this resto is BYOB.
However, I doubt I'll be back, as my experience at Pho Ong Rau close by was much better and friendlier too (at least the guy there speaks and understands both French and English).
