Product Description
Choi's Kimchi Co. does not pasteurize our Kimchi. As a result, the pouch that contains our Kimchi may expand because of the natural fermentation and the release of CO2 that occurs during transit. Worry not; we process our kimchi daily and ferment our kimchi in accordance with transit times and our cold-chain pack out! Our Kimchi is made using a traditional recipe that has been handed down from generation to generation from our home in Portland, Oregon. Each order is made to order and we are here to answer any questions you may have! Kimchi is a traditional fermented Korean food composed of various vegetables and seasonings. Widely considered one of the world's healthiest foods, Kimchi is rich in vitamins, low in calories, and packed with lactic acid making it a rising star in probiotic foods. Our Award Winning Spicy Napa Cabbage Kimchi is the most traditional variety we offer and is made in the USA using a small batch process. Please refrigerate after receiving your package to maintain product quality.

There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
The next day, I got an email apologizing for the inconvenience. It also explained that my kimchi was delayed at fulfillment, and had only been in transit for 3 days. It also explained that the kimchi was still safe to eat. Since kimchi is made to naturally and actively ferment, refrigeration is not immediately required and it doesn't spoil when left unrefrigerated for several days. The bloat of the bag was caused by the off-gas of CO2 that happens during the fermentation process. Still, they kindly issued a complete refund.
But here's the kicker. I did a little more research and learned that some people leave kimchi out intentionally to get a softer texture and a more sour flavor. Like sauerkraut or blue cheese, letting it sit changes texture and taste but doesn't make it go bad. Remember, kimchi has been around a lot longer than refrigerators or air conditioning.
I remembered that my unopened bag was still sitting outside under the trees. It had been sitting outside in moderate weather for over a day. You guessed it, I brought it inside and ate some. It was friggin' amazing kimchi.
So don't be afraid about shipping this product. Not only did it fair well during an extra day of transit, I then put it to the test by leaving it outside in late April in North Carolina. The texture and taste were exactly what I'd hoped for. Maybe I'll leave it out again next time I order!
I wrote the company and told them what happened. Now I'm writing this review — something I don't usually feel I have time to do — in the hopes that I can save potential customers and the company some future hassle. This is an excellent product and a reputable company. I will definitely order again.
When buying something online, the product itself is only half the story. The other half is the shipping / packaging and this is where i was let down.
First i don't know who's fault it is but i did not receive a tracking number until after i received the product. I live in a rural area and don't check my mail box often as we do not receive a lot of mail. Apparently my package of kimchi was delivered on a Saturday afternoon and i did not come to realize it was there until Tuesday evening. It spent over 3 days in a black metal mailbox in the sun with ambient temps in the high 80's. It was difficult to remove from the mailbox because the package was so swollen in the bubble envelope. After cooling down in the house and eventually the fridge, the smell seem alright, great in fact, and texture was still decent. I don't know what adverse, if any, this caused but the product seemed to be okay still. I would not want this to be the case every time i order, but i am am hoping this is a one time occurrence.
Secondly the seller puts reveling stickers and nonsense messages on the outside. I wish they wouldn't. Just leave the package blank except for the shipping label.
And lastly, as pointed out by others, there is a discrepancy with the listing info vs the received product. The listing says it is half gallon size aka 64oz, however you only receive a 56 oz bag.
