Your gut will thank you

I’m very keen on kimchi, adoring its funky tang and sour heat, but it is quite a process making it yourself. And many of the mainstream varieties are either too timid or, even, pasteurised, which entirely misses the point. Kim Kong kimchi is gratifyingly much more like the ones you might find in a small Korean store, and your gut will thank you, too!

Leaps ahead of other kimchis!

I discovered kimchi only a few months ago, but when I did, there were fireworks. I ate nearly a whole jar of Kim Kong Kimchi in a single salty, spicy and sour sitting... It is AMAZING kimchi! Leaps ahead of many others I've tried now.

Kim Kong Kimchi Love

It’s been confirmed, I’m officially addicted to Kim Kong Kimchi! It was instant kimchi love!
Incredible yummy side dish with a great spicy kick. Although slightly expensive to eat every day, it is cheaper than other brands and you do get what you pay for which is a great tasting, homemade, vegan, locally produced (if you live in the UK) kimchi. I love it!
Final verdict 9/10

Lovely stuff!

Breaking my fast with some kimchi “home-made in Haringey” by a massive gorilla. Having to stop myself eating the jar. Lovely stuff!

I was convinced it was some old Korean lady churning out these wonderful jars of kimchi

I found your kimchi in my local Whole Foods and was so pleasantly surprised to discover that it had the real depth of kimchi flavour that’s often missing in commercially-made kimchi. I’m Korean you see, and my mom is from the Jeolla province in Korea which is known for its rich and deep flavours. I’ve always had home made kimchi growing up and am somewhat of a kimchi snob. I hate restaurant kimchi and the commercially packaged ones, even the ones flown over from Korea.

I’ll be honest and admit that I was shocked to find out that you’re an English man. The Kim Kong Kimchi flavour is so authentically home-made I was convinced it was some old Korean lady who was churning out these wonderful jars of kimchi!! How wrong was I!!

My kids and I go through one small jar every two days (two jars when I make jjigae or bokumbap). Keep up the good work and thanks for spreading the kimchi goodness in the UK. I can’t wait to let my mom try your kimchi when she comes to visit.

BEST KIMCHI IN THE ENTIRE UNIVERSE.

Your Kimchi is the BEST KIMCHI IN THE ENTIRE UNIVERSE.
I love it. It always sells out so fast from my local store.
I can eat a whole jar in one sitting. Like I did just now.
Please don't ever stop making it. I would like to still see it on the shelves in 30 years.

Yours truly,

-Mo

I LOVE your Kim Kong Kimchi, thanks for making it.

Kim Kong Kimchi - it's the real thing. I could eat the whole jar - in fact just did. Highly recommended!

I really could not believe how GOOD this product is!

First of all I am a massive kimchi fan and been eating it for quite some time now. I recently discovered your kimchi. I really could not believe how GOOD this product is! I've tried different organic and raw brands and they were nothing like the real stuff but your kimchi is the best. I literally can't stop eating it. After I opened it and tried it for the first time my boyfriend had to fight for the jar.

Nowadays I put it on/in everything. I love kimchi soup, on crackers and combined with anything really!

Best kimchi I’ve had.

Just opened my first jar of Kim Kong to jazz up a simple dal. Best kimchi I've had. And I lived next to Koreatown in LA for a decade. Added total happiness that it's vegan. Great job. Keep fermenting away.

It’s amazing to find a vegan kimchi that is so great.

Just a line to say how much we love your kimchi: to the point where twice now I have opened a jar on the bus ride home, much to the dismay of nearby passengers... Living on a houseboat now so not quite the kitchen space for big batches of anything (and who makes kimchi in small quantities??) so it's amazing to find a vegan kimchi that is so great.

I cannot wait to get some more

My name is Julia and I am a total kimchi addict. I stumbled upon your kimchi this weekend when visiting my local grocery - and I am just writing to say that WOW!
It is totally awesome, delicious and perfect combination/ratio of flavours, ingredients and spice. You are doing an amazing job with your kimchi. I cannot wait to get some more.

Thank you for such a fantastic product. I've had other kimchi this week , but now you have spoilt all the others for me, they did not come even close. So keep it up - fantastic work and produce.

Keep it up and well done.

The delicious, affordable, authentic taste of Korea

As an ex-resident of Korea who since has gone vegan, your kimchi is a life saver! Who needs the fish sauce? So delicious, just had basically half a jar with rice and roast veggies and it was like I was swooped back to lunchtime in Korea. Thanks for much for the delicious, affordable, authentic taste of Korea. I will be a loyal customer I can assure you. Nat from Clapton
