Walkerhill Hotel Kimchi: An Honest Review of the 10kg Cabbage Kimchi (Purchased from Hyundai Home Shopping)
Hello everyone! π
Today, I'm excited to share a review of kimchi that I truly love: the 10kg Cabbage Kimchi from Walkerhill Hotel, a purchase I made with my own money!
Honestly, I usually try to make my own kimchi at home whenever possible. But these days, I'm often busy, and buying pre-made, delicious kimchi in bulk is much more convenient. That's how I ended up watching home shopping channels for kimchi, and among them, Walkerhill Hotel Kimchi has been on my mind since the first time I tried it, leading me to repurchase it.
Purchase Process β In the 70,000 KRW range from Hyundai Home Shopping
This time, I purchased the 10kg set of Walkerhill Hotel Cabbage Kimchi from Hyundai Home Shopping. The price was in the 70,000 KRW range. Kimchi prices have gone up a lot recently, right? But considering it's hotel kimchi, I thought it was a pretty reasonable price.
The delivery was incredibly fast after the purchase. It arrived in just two days! Thanks to the quick delivery, I was able to receive it right before I ran out of kimchi, so I was very satisfied.
Kimchi Condition β Fresh as if Just Made
As soon as I opened the delivery box, the aroma of kimchi wafted out! The kimchi looked incredibly fresh, as if it had just been made. I could even feel the crispness of the cabbage through the plastic packaging.
As soon as I tasted it, I understood why people look for Walkerhill Hotel Kimchi.
- The cabbage was genuinely crisp and the freshness was alive.
- The seasoning wasn't too salty, just perfectly savory and clean.
- The taste of fermented seafood wasn't overpowering, and the umami flavor came through naturally!
It really felt like kimchi made by hotel chefs. Often, commercially available kimchi is too salty or the fermented seafood flavor is too strong, which can be off-putting, but this was incredibly palatable.
Previous Purchase Experience from SK Stoa
This is actually my second purchase. The first time was about a month ago when I hesitantly bought it from SK Stoa home shopping.
I thought, "Hotel kimchi? Is it just riding on the name value?" But when I actually tasted it, I was surprised by how delicious it was. I enjoyed it so much that I didn't hesitate to order it again from Hyundai Home Shopping this time.
In other words, my honest review is that this is kimchi that people will seek out again once they've tasted it.

Use of Domestic Ingredients β A Trustworthy Point
Another reason why I liked Walkerhill Hotel Kimchi was the use of domestic ingredients.
Kimchi's flavor ultimately depends on the raw ingredients like cabbage, chili powder, and fermented seafood, and I found it trustworthy that these were all domestic. Especially these days, many kimchi brands use imported cabbage or fermented seafood, so just knowing that the ingredients are domestic made me feel at ease.
"Rice Thief" Kimchi β Solves Meals in a Snap
Honestly, with this kimchi, I don't have to worry about side dishes. Just put Walkerhill Hotel Kimchi on warm rice, and you can finish a bowl in no time.
I've also used this kimchi to make various dishes:
- If you make kimchi pancakes while it's freshly made, they're crispy on the outside and moist on the inside!
- When you make kimchi stew, the broth is incredibly refreshing and rich.
- It's perfect just as a side dish with rice.
In particular, Walkerhill Hotel Kimchi is delicious when cooked, but it truly shines when eaten fresh like a *geotjeori* (fresh kimchi).
Large Capacity 10kg β Worries About Storage?
At first, I thought 10kg was too much, but it quickly disappears once you start eating it. If you have a family, it'll be gone in no time, and if you're a single-person household, you can divide it up and store it in the kimchi refrigerator to enjoy it for a long time.
I received it, shared about 2-3kg with acquaintances, and put the rest in the kimchi refrigerator. It's nice because the kimchi changes into another flavor as it ferments, so you can enjoy it twice.
Overall Review of Walkerhill Hotel Kimchi
- Price: In the 70,000 KRW range from Hyundai Home Shopping β Reasonable for hotel kimchi
- Delivery: Arrived in 2 days β Satisfied with the fast delivery
- Taste: Fresh as if just made, clean seasoning, not too much fermented seafood flavor
- Repurchase Intention: 100% (Already completed the second purchase)
- Recommended For: People who have difficulty making kimchi at home, people who are looking for a clean kimchi taste
The 10kg of Walkerhill Hotel Kimchi was a choice I don't regret, and I plan to keep repurchasing it until I find an even more delicious kimchi.
