Preview: KP's Vietnamese American Deli

After my sample-sized KP's Kold Kut bahn mi, I had to restrain myself from running back for another sandwich, which I could easily have polished off. KP's, named for the extremely personable owner Khuong Pham, had an opening day celebration Sunday with samples of several dishes, which were all a breath of fresh air on a very culinarily-challenged stretch of Hyperion. The Vietnamese chopped salad with shrimp was also bright and flavorful, and even my friend's tofu banh mi was pretty good. Khuong says he gets his baguettes from a lady in Burbank who makes them to his specifications, and they complement the Vietnamese pate and cold cuts perfectly. Starting Monday (Feb. 29), the whole menu will be available as well as Vietnamese iced coffee. Bahn mi are mostly $6.00, with varieties including ham, pork, chicken, beef and tofu. Also available are regular deli sandwiches on baguettes with nice touches like garlic chili spread or hoisin aioli, spring rolls and salads. There are three small tables or if you call ahead, they will bring your order to the curb.

$6 for banh mi? that's just nuts!! and from the looks of the picture the sandwich looks small. for about $2.25 mr baguette or Lee's sandwichs in San Gabriel is 100x better. you really can't get better than mr baguette and their flan is pretty awesome.

Help me Dude, I'm lost.

I was searching for Elvis and somehow ended up in your blog, but you know I'm sure I saw Elvis in the supermarket yesterday.

No honest really, he was right there in front of me, next to the steaks singing "Love me Tender".

He said to me (his lip was only slightly curled) "Boy, you need to get yourself a shiny, new plasmatv to go with that blue suede sofa of yours.

But Elvis said I, In the Ghetto nobody has a plasma tv .

Dude I'm All Shook Up said Elvis. I think I'll have me another cheeseburger then I'm gonna go home and ask Michael Jackson to come round and watch that waaaay cool surfing scene in Apocalypse Now on my new plasma tv .

And then he just walked out of the supermarket singing. . .

"You give me love and consolation,
You give me strength to carry on "

Strange day or what? :-)

Coins are my passion. I love to look at them and hold. I think about the history of the coin in hand. Who used it at one time? Where has it been? Did this Morgan dollar actually participate in a poker game in the old west? Did someone get shot for cheating? Its fascinating when you consider this type question. So much history in a litle piece of metal.
