"Open Market is a hybrid cafe-corner store on the bottom floor of an office building, where you can stroll in for a coffee, pastry, or bottle of wine. But what differentiates this Ktown spot from every other cute, trendy mini-mart is its one-of-a-kind sandwiches. From the “Alhambra” Hainanese chicken salad to the “Mariposa” with al pastor-style mushrooms, each one pulls inspiration from a different area of LA. Our go-to order is the “Normandie, “a juicy brisket sandwich with pickled radish and scallions that tastes like the lovechild of a classic French dip and a bowl of beef noodle soup." - brant cox, nikko duren, sylvio martins
