Frequently asked questions

1. What makes New York Kimchi so different from other kimchi?

Throughout the years, we have tried various recipes and have come up with the perfect combination of spices and herbs to bring you the clean and delicious taste of NY Kimchi. We also have a higher level of lactobacilli (a healthy bacteria found in fermented foods such as yogurt and kimchi, which promotes digestion) in our kimchi, along with the other health benefits of kimchi.

 

2. Where is New York Kimchi made?

New York Kimchi is prepared daily in Kum Gang San’s kitchen in New York City. We’ve been devoted to using the same techniques for the past 19 years to bring you the same delicious kimchi taste you’ve always loved!

 

3. Will our kimchi be fresh if it is mailed to us?

Absolutely. We prepare our kimchi daily and pack your order the day it is processed. We then send your order to you within a maximum of three day via UPS shipping. Customers who are based further from New York will recieve their shipents within two-business days.

 

4. Do you have any other kinds of kimchi?
