Kim Hong Egg Rolls? Noted for their snap-crisp texture and savory filings? Forget about simply walking in and ordering on the fly. Ever since appearances on food influencer Joyce Marcellus and Entrepreneur Queen’s popular platforms, they’ve become a hot commodity in Westminster.
The key to getting your hands on these chả giò (fried egg rolls) is by calling at least in advance, ideally one day prior, with a minimum order of 10.
During a recent visit to the eatery, found on the backside of a building along Goldenwest Street, with only a few available parking spots, I found a handful of people already waiting in their cars for their lunchtime orders. The menu, pared down to nine chả giò iterations, include crab, pork and shrimp, fish, chicken, vegetarian, chicken taro and more. Price per roll ranges from 90 cents to $1.50.

The owner, who politely declined an interview request, said she’s seen steady stream business ever since her egg rolls took off in the viral stratosphere. Operated by two women, the kitchen makes egg rolls from scratch daily and, more often than not, they sell out.
In addition to the egg rolls that have gained traction care of the digital realm, Kim Hong also prepares bánh bèo tôm tuoi (an appetizer tray of steamed rice cakes with shrimp) for $20 and suong sam la dua (a grass jelly dessert) for $2, as well as offering more than a dozen beverages, ranging from sodas and coffees to milk tea and jasmine tea.
