It looks a bit crappy at first glance, but note the constantly growing queue to the counter - that's because Chop Chop serves awesome banh mi at very reasonable prices.
Their Vietnamese sandwiches have developed quite the local following from office workers breaking at lunchtime, after something filling and tasty. For $6.50, you can get yourself a baguette sized, fluffy but a-little-bit-crusty-on-the-outside white bread roll, stuffed with a generous filling of pickled shredded carrot, fresh coriander, green chillies (they'll go easy on them if you ask when you place your order), and finely sliced red onion and lettuce. Top it off with your meat of choice - I'm a fan of the tender, non-greasy chicken and the salty barbecued pork options - which will pair pretty well with the pate-like spread they put on one side and the sweet mayo that goes on the other.
If you want to go all out, ask for one of their little pots of sauce that sit in the front glass cabinet. There is sweet chilli, but as the rolls are already a little bit spicy, my advice is to go for the salty-sweet peanut sauce - a little drizzle takes this sambo to the next level. read more
