Pretty amazing that people are being charged for it at restaurants. Getting kimchi with a meal was like the glass of water you get everywhere else.

I recall having to pay for water too in some restaurant... :/

Likely bottled water.

If you guys are in the US and want kimchi - but don't want to deal with Korean super markets, check out Costco~

This stuff is good if not better than the ready made kimchi at Korean stores.

lol i was under the impression that korea got their produce from china like japan that imports shitake mushroom and all that fancy stuff.
Yea that looks just like Kang Min... amazing game sense... and uses mind games well, but has the micro of a washed up progamer.

Oh wow. I have the exact same jar of kimchi in my fridge. However, I've tasted better kimchi than that brand.

This is old news. It has been going on for a while now. I think importing is a good option. Many of my Korean friends told me that there is no difference between Kimchi made in Korea and Kimchi made by Korean from cabbage from China.

This thread is making me so hungry right now. You guys suck. I wish there were a korean restaurant where I go to school. Specifically a tofu house. I need one of those ASAP.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯ There are three kinds of people in the world: those who can count and those who can't.

Personal note: Man, that just sucks. Charging for kimchi as a side dish is like getting charged for steak sauce at a steakhouse. I hope the kimchi prices go down, even if it's not $2.50.

Those who live in Korea: how is it affecting your lives? I live in the U.S, so I haven't felt it as much, if at all.



in australia its becoming quiet the trend to charge for the saurces / gravys you get with your steak. IT EFFIN SUCKS! .. iv been to 3 places now.. and its like 4 bucks for the stuff. which is ALOT

I just came on to post about this. What a crazy thing.

I seriously love kimchi. In Japan it's a bland attempt but I still eat it on the regular regardless.

I have never even heard of kimchi. But if I was used to getting it everyday and liked it I would be pretty sad!
When I think of something else, something will go here

Id rather purchase the bagged ones, 2 heads of cabbage... 8 USD. Sounds reasonable to me, however those glass containers are great storage devices(But 7 bucks for a large jar of kimchi is not worth it).

Its pretty critical. A Koreans diet would consist almost entirely of rice kimchi and red chilli sauce!!

Im sure some of us can just eat rice, kimchi and sea laver everyday without getting sick of it.
