Very spicy I love the crunch
vaneishaw52
No wonder it’s on sale — it looked awful and tasted even worse.

Well, I personally don't like it. It's like pickles in kimchi soup? It's far from the simple cucumber I had in Korea. I don't think I'll ever buy it again.
Hye Jeong
I didn't check the size properly. It's huge and it hasn't been soaked for long so it's not sour, but the taste isn't that great..There's too much so I wonder how I'm going to eat it alone.. The seasoning is a bit... bland and spicy.I don't think Jaeguman will do it.
ji-eun
Came very protected and fresh
PChaiya-Oup
It tastes terrible, don't buy it. It's so soft that it looks like it's broken. If you don't open it in time, you can't get a refund.

The pickles here are delicious. I bought the pickled cucumbers on sale. I hope they taste good.
Keira
Is it because I bought a sale item? It's all gone, so there's no crunchy taste at all, and it falls apart in your mouth... … It's not overripe and has dried out... It's a pity

I wanted perfectly ripe kimchi, but it arrived just the right amount of ripeness, and it was delicious.

It’s okay, it’s more tangy than other kimchis I have had. Be careful of opening the jar..
weee.13574035
Add to cart item, although it is close to the expiration date, kimchi is fermented, so use it to make Korean kimchi tofu soup. Note: It would be better if the futures price could be cheaper!
kittymao_chan
Pricy at $9.49 for a small jar that lacks taste. Not crunchy due to very small cubes.

Weird texture and flavor. No flavor on inside of radish.

Arrived in one piece. Safely secured and kimchi nicely fermented
DonnaHuynh
not as good as jongas. tiny cubes. less flavor.
weee.10074742
I cannot wait to try!
Melanie
This is the first time I've had such tasteless kimchi. It definitely doesn't look like it was made by a Korean! It wasn't pickled properly at all, so the red pepper powder and seasoning were on the outside, and the radish was soft and the texture wasn't good, and it really didn't taste good. I'm someone who doesn't write reviews because it's annoying, but I feel like I have to, so I'm writing one.
joice0215
Way too soggy! I'm so disappointed. Usually, this brand is so good, and I would tell friends and family, but sadly, I can't even eat it today. It's just soft and melts into your mouth. No kidding, not even a slight toughness, just dissolvable pieces of daikon that taste bad! What a waste of money!
van209
The shelf life of the product is listed on the bottle cap, which is worth encouraging. I'm craving for spicy and sour pickled radish. I hope this brand tastes good!
