So glad to have come across Gourmet Korea, especially during lockdown when home cooking was necessary almost every day and a change in the routine was so welcomed. Shipping was fast and the items were very well packed and clearly labeled. The home KBBQ meal kits are convenient and easy - everything is included (except the rice) so you don't even need to get your own ssamjang. The meats come fully marinaded, you just need to spend 10 mins cooking it up in a pan if you haven't got a Korean-style grill. Portion size is generous enough to leave two adults with decent appetites feeling fully satisfied. Taste-wise it's authentic & delicious and not "fusion" nor altered/watered down for foreign tongues (speaking as someone who's previously lived in Seoul for 9 years and has eaten plenty of all the delicious Korean things). We tried all 5 flavours of the bbq kits available and our favourites were the LA galbi and the jeyook bokkeum (spicy pork, not that spicy though!). We've since reordered a large enough quantity to keep some in the freezer for days when we want a little taste of Korea again and will definitely reorder when our stash is gone!

I bought some Kim Chee and other food for my parent's birthday. I called the company beforehand with a couple of delivery questions. They were very helpful. I'd definitely buy from them again.

Food was amazing! There was a slight hiccup with my order but it was quickly rectified and the team gave us some additional stuff to compensate which was not necessary but very much appreciated.

The food box arrived on time and on the confirmed date. I ordered two of the meal kits which were as described and packed in a temperature controlled box. They meal kits came with a recipe card with clear cooking instructions. Also, I bought some other non perishable products that were well packed and with good use by dates.
