Honest verdict on Kimchi — good but not exceptional

Kimchi here was solidly made — sweet, spicy, and savoury at once without anything to complain about. doenjang fermented soy was present and handled reasonably. But something was missing from the depth that this dish should have.

the communal banchan side dishes are as important as the main. The a home banchan spread atmosphere was pleasant enough. barley tea was available and a good suggestion. For a reliable version of Kimchi this works. For an exceptional one, I'd keep looking. Three stars.
