Today I met a cashier at Joe Kim's Kim Chee.

She was very polite, and the whole place was so clean. I've never heard of the brand before, but my Mom and I ended up buying some to try. It was so good! I looked it up online, and it's a local business started by a local Korean guy in Kalihi Valley during WWII. She said it's the only storefront and it's relatively new, only have been open since February.

They say he's one of the reasons why it's so popular in food here today!
