❤️Hello, Asheville. The time has come.
After a delicious, fun, and memorable 14 years of serving you, our loyal fans, the time has come for Don and Joanne to hang up our aprons and retire. It’s hard to believe how much time has passed since we first opened the El Kimchi food truck back in 2011.
Friday, October 31 will be the last day El Kimchi operates.
We can't think of a better way to say goodbye than where we often loved to be: our final serving will be at New Belgium on October 31st! We sincerely hope you'll come on down one last time and celebrate with us. We'd love to say hello and thank you in person.
🙏 From Our Family to Yours
Words can't fully express the gratitude we feel. Since starting in 2011, your love and support have been the heart and soul of El Kimchi. Every order, every kind word, and every smile across the counter truly meant the world to us. It's been an absolute honor to be a part of the incredible Asheville food scene and to serve so many wonderful people. Thank you for making our food truck dream a reality. Your love and support helped our family not only to grow and thrive, but also to share our passion for Korean flavors with the community we love. You've truly been like family to us.
We look forward to seeing all your familiar faces one last time this week! Let's make this last run the best one yet!
Yours sincerely and with deepest thanks,
Don, Joanne, Jimmy & Iris
