About Bac 8

Set inside Springvale Market, Bac 8 dishes up Vietnamese home cooking that tastes straight from a family kitchen. Zero pretense—just a market stall where shoppers tap orders into a touchscreen for generous, budget-friendly spreads. Patrons in the know head straight for the three-dish rice plates ladled with rich fish curry, or deep bowls of soup loaded with beef cuts and fresh herbs. Everything lands with honest comfort, right down to the charred pork chop cơm tấm.

  • Homestyle Rice Combos: Pick-and-choose three homestyle sides over rice—like braised pork belly and catfish—delivering hefty portions at an accessible price.
  • Touchscreen Market Ordering: Digital self-order screens keep tickets firing and lunch lines moving rapidly in a compact market setting.
  • Generous Market Value: Massive bowls of noodle soup and hearty meat plates offer substantial portions built for hungry market-goers.
  • Carefully Packed Takeaway: Dishes and soups are securely packed for transport, making it an easy dinner pickup to take home.
  • Casual Street-Stall Vibe: Compact counter stools and fast-paced auntie service recreate the unpretentious feel of a local street food stall.

  • Nostalgic Vietnamese Street Stall Feel

    The bustling market stall setting captures the vibrant, unpretentious atmosphere of traditional street food vendors in Vietnam.

    Such a nostalgic feel close to the streets of Vietnam. The aunties serving and the rustic and delicious vietnamese dishes that have been served at home for years.

Signature homestyle Vietnamese staples favored by regulars.

  • 3 Combinations with Rice

    Ordered the 3 Combinations with Rice: pork belly, caramelised catfish and sort of like salty and sour soup. The food reminds you of your mom's cooking. They are comforting and feel homey.
