I've been wanting to try Kimchi lately and other Korean food but I don't really know what to try. Has anyone else had Korean food and want to give me their opinion before I go into a Korean restaurant and make a fool of myself? :P

Well since about 80% of my diet is either Japanese or Korean these days, and usually a bit of both, I will try to give you some guidance.
You have 4 basic things to consider when choosing kimchi. The two main types are cabbage or radish, then you need to consider how sour it is, and how hot (spicy) it is. In most restaurants you are not going to be given a choice, but its good to remember these 4 so you know what to expect in the future. Everyone makes their kimchi a little different according to their taste preference. Some of it I love, some I try to avoid, but most fall into a category of being a nice side dish I appreciate the option of having.
How spicy do you like your food and do you like a sweet taste or savory?
I will try to give you some other options.
