My favourite Vietnamese sandwich shop so far in Melbourne and they get the bread right. My Vietnamese sandwich shop test is when I bite into it I want to be covered in flakes of bread on the first bite. Post sandwich I want to have flakes all over the place. Crisp and light bread with savoury fillings.

I rate 8bit's burgers as some of Melbourne's finest. I love their Altered Beast w/jalapeño but their Golden Axe with Sriracha Mayo is a real find. The queue is worth the wait for a delicious bite at 8bit
