JONGGA Original Can Kimchi (Pack of 4), Shelf Stable Canned Kimchi, Spicy Korean Authentic Fermented Pickled Cabbage, Perfect with Ramen, Noodles and Rice

We have been suffering since our favorite Korean BBQ closed. They made their own kim-chi, with not just cabbage but all sorts of veggies. All the ones we tried from the market were positively bland, flat, almost tasteless. Other restaurants, so-so. This is all cabbage, but the taste is there.If what you want is maximum burn, this will be too mild for you. We've had it with burgers and with hot dogs, sides of hot rice or mac salad. It has a good bite, but isn't a burnout, with good flavour. I'm saving the juice to see if I can add some zucchini and carrots and up the game. As it is, the two of us are mostly killing a can at a meal, so buy enough for your number of diners. I'm not sure only one 4-pack a month is going to be enough.

LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this stuff! It is not very spicy, but that's ok because the flavor is great. I eat it at least 3 times a week with rice and whatever else my meal consists of. The packet contains the perfect size for one serving and is very convenient to take to work due to the portability of the package. Highly recommend!

This is not the best kimchi I've ever had but it's pretty good - I do wish it were spicier. I love how it's shelf stable and in (8) individual-sized packets. The expiration date from the kimchi I received is about a year out, so that gives me a little time. When I buy a 16 oz jar it usually goes to waste in fridge because I only eat kimchi about twice a week, and am the only one in the house that eats it. So the packaging is perfect in my case! The amount in (1) packet is the right size to add on top of a plate of white rice and makes a delicious dinner. Will buy again.

Updated review Jan. 2025. Just discovered the “best by” date was last month. I bought this in June and didn’t eat it all. When I saw “shelf-life” on the front of the package, I assumed it would maintain its freshness longer than six months. I ended up giving 5 bags away today. The cabbage is fermented so it should be okay if opened soon. It will just be more sour tasting, which I don’t like. So, better to eat this shortly after you receive it and not wait as long as I did.Turned out better than expected. Ate it as a side dish after chilling. The overall flavor wasn’t strong at all nor spicy. There wasn’t an overpowering sour taste. The texture of the Napa cabbage was soft with a slight crunch. The packet size is just right to go with a meal or two. Convenience when you’re unable to get the genuine Kimchi at the store.

Jongga Spicy Napa Cabbage Sliced Kimchi. There are 8 ea. 2.8 oz packages. Cost is $19. This is the best option for getting fresh Kimchi. I’ve tried the canned version of Napa cabbage and the canned Kimchi was very soft and mushy. This tastes so much better. There was no leakage in any of the packages. The smell and spiciness is just right and comparable to what I had in Korea where I first tried it.

I was looking to try single portion Kim chi I could keep in my office. I guess it’s just not possible. This product tastes awful and has a mushy texture because it’s cooked in the canning process. It’s not spicy enough and tastes almost sweet. It reminded me of my recipe for Polish stuffed cabbage. I threw out 7 packages.

Great peoduct

Shelf-stable (no refrigeration required) pouches of kimchi. Quality is excellent, moderate heat level. Zero leakages noted after multiple orders, fresh smelling and excellent. Worth the money and a favorite of mine now.
