Banh Cuon Specialist Ten Seven Rolls Opened a Restaurant in Temple City | Eater LA
"After nearly a year operating out of a stall inside Blossom Market Hall in San Gabriel, I learned the family opened their first standalone location in Temple City in July 2024. Named after the Klaude family patriarch’s birthday, Ten Seven Rolls serves bánh cuốn stuffed with pork, shrimp, or tofu and finished with fresh cucumbers, blanched bean sprouts, crispy shallots, sliced pork sausage, and a fish sauce vinaigrette. In addition to the rolls, they offer other Vietnamese specialties like gỏi cuốn (spring rolls), chả giò (fried spring rolls), and bánh xèo (stuffed turmeric rice flour pancakes), and the move to the new shared space has given them the flexibility to experiment with additions such as mì xào tỏi (mushroom garlic noodles). The business began as a home operation during COVID, with co-owner Chris Klaude rolling alongside his mother Lan Nguyen Klaude and sisters Sophie and Monika; Lan worked in her family’s catering business after immigrating Southeast Asia to Paris, and Klaude spent over a decade managing restaurants after moving stateside in the 90s. After opening at Blossom Market Hall in February 2023 and building regulars who came multiple times a week, the family chose not to renew the stall lease due in part to a rent increase and instead relocated to a space shared with Mama Musubi, operating currently as an indoor counter with a few tables outside while they obtain permits to convert the interior into a dining room, all with the same focus on sharing the food they grew up eating with the San Gabriel Valley." - Rebecca Roland
