I thought you were Korean...
If this is not irony of sorts then "sticky" might be the more suitable answer. Wrapped with other condiments in a sesame leaf of course.
Btw, more and more eateries in Korea are resorting to cheaper Chinese kimchi. The KFDA is renown for strict procedures but not everyone I've spoken with is so sure abot what actually goes inside there.
Chinese food companies can be very tricky and ingenious in the worst possible way when it comes to finding cheaper and even dangerous ingredients to maximize their profits so caution is recommended.

Kimchi is one of those things that always seem to me to work better in context. As a side dish to a nice, big, steel-plated Korean meal, lovely. Elsewhere, I'm not so sure.

Ming Tsai's Pork Kim Chi Noodles
I made this dish using H-Mart kim chi (premium with oyster).

OP, don't know if you're still looking, but I've read good things about this brand, which is a bit more "farmers' market/artisanal".

And FH's stir-fry was pretty yummy.
