LIST: Where to get fresh kimchi for delivery, pickup in Metro Manila
Craving for this Korean staple? Check here for several restos and small businesses that are open for pick-up or delivery.

MANILA, Philippines – Sometimes, all you need is a bowl of freshly-made kimchi – for fried rice, in soup, as a side dish to any ulam, with samgyupsal, or on its own. It’s not just yummy; kimchi is filled with probiotics and fiber, making it good for your digestive system! I’d call that a win-win.

If you’ve been on the hunt for kimchi, don’t worry – several local brands deliver. Check out these restaurants and home-based businesses next time you’re craving for the famous Korean side dish!

Happyfoods Group of Restaurants

Happyfoods, the resto group behind Korean barbecue resto names Soban, Sariwon, and Sibyulee, sells their tangy, slightly spicy, and crunchy kimchi in 500g packs for P190 and in 1kg packs for P380.
