We regret to inform you that the Asian Soul Kitchen truck will no longer be in service. The journey for us has been incredible this last year and a great learning experience for all of us here on the team. It’s been such a sight to witness the food truck community grow around us and we made so many lifelong friendships in the process.
To our wonderful customers and followers who stuck with us since the beginning – you all are AMAZING and want to thank you for all the help and support you gave us. We definitely couldn’t have ever made it this far without you guys, REALLY.
To our friends Morris, Josh and Herman at Roadstoves – without you, we wouldn’t have even made it onto the street! You guys have been so helpful to us since the beginning from getting our truck off the ground to making sure we stayed on the streets as long as possible. You all have not only helped us, but a large portion of the truck community – you guys are the true KINGS of food trucks:)
To Matt at SoCalMVFA – when cities and law enforcement tried to shut us down, you found a way to get the trucks together and make it work. The support you’ve given to us will never be forgotten.
Lastly, to our friends and family – words can never express our sincerest gratitude to all the friends and family members that supported us before the truck even made it on the street. You all made this venture possible for us both financially and emotionally and this transition would have been so much more difficult without you.
We LOVE YOU ALL and very much consider everyone a part of our extended family. Thank you once again for this incredible experience. We will never forget you:)
Life is stranger than fiction and who knows what we will do next;) See you around!
Love, Peace and Asian Soul
– You’re Asian Soul Kitchen Family<3
Can you guess the product being advertised in each commercial? If you’ve ventured onto the site, by now you should realize that we looooove Asian commercials and whenever we run across them, we like to post them on the site:) But perhaps the reason they are so funny and weird (to say the least) is because you have absolutely no idea what they are advertising until the very end. Catchy and effective? I’ll let you be the judge! Enjoy!
And of course, what would a Friday of funnies be without our very own Governator in true form…
This Sunday, Big Yellow is taking a field trip to LeftofCenterSundaze hosted by our friends at Verdugo Bar (@verdugobar) in Glassell Park. It’ll be an entire afternoon of world grooves and Brazilian tones by none other than DJ’s Tonearm and Daylight. The event is absolutely FREE, so we encourage everyone to come out with your friends and enjoy a wonderful day of drinks, music, and mouthwatering food!!:) Fun and free…what more could you ask for?!
Happy St. Patrick’s day everyone!! It’s always a bit strange, St. Patrick’s Day, because everyone and everything goes absolutely GREEN! I remember growing up as a kid I’d always have green milk, green cake-green everything! And now, we have green BEER!! Oh, the wonders of modern food technology. And how could I forget all the pinches! I’ve never been one to keep track of holidays and other than the so, so few times I’ve coincidentally worn green on St. Pat’s, I’ve come home bruised and battered.
But then again, as we grow older, St. Patrick’s has now become yet another excuse (as if we needed more…) to drinkkk! As I’m sure a large percentage of the Los Angeles population will be out on this beautiful evening showing their St. Patty’s spirt, I want to wish everyone a safe and fun St. Patrick’s Day!! Go crazy!! And if you see anything unusually green today, feel free to share it with us!!:)
It seems that those who have ventured to the site enjoy the funny videos and commercials we’ve been posting. So here are a couple videos to kick-off this week is humorous asian soul form:)
Thanks to the wonderful talents of Goodie Mob, we’re kickin it back old school with Soul Food. I love starting off my days listening to a little music, hope you do too:) Enjoy!!
This Saturday, March 6, we’re going to be joined by @DaintyCakes and @Fishlips_Sushi at the Lantern Festival in commemoration of the longest and most important holiday in the Chinese lunar calendar–and that is of course, Chinese New Year. It is going to be quite an eventful day with stunning lantern displays, music, dancing, and cultural crafts. And naturally to top it off, some excellent street food fare.
The Lantern Festival will take place at the Chinese American Museum. We urge everyone to come and experience one of the biggest cultural holidays during the year. And even better, the admission is FREE!! Rain or shine, it’s happening! Experience being a part of one of the most culturally diverse cities in America.

Our friend Arthur Dong also currently has an exhibit at the Chinese American Museum called Hollywood Chinese: The Arthur Dong Collection that we definitely recommend that you see, especially if you are a cinema buff. It is a collection of memorabilia dating back to the early 1900s of Chinese culture in American cinema. Everything in the exhibit was acquired during the filming of his documentary Hollywod Chinese. The collection is amazing and definitely worth checking out!
More details about the exhibit can be found by clicking on the picture or here
We hope that everyone will come out and celebrate Chinese New Year with us this weekend!
ASK is all about yummy food that is from the finest hand-made ingredients that blossom into new, interesting, and amazing flavors - with a little bit o' Asian and a little bit o' Soul.
