Cleveland Kitchen earns largely positive reviews for crunchy, flavorful pickles and crowd-pleasing, mild ferments, though opinions split on kimchi authenticity and certain sauces. Reviewers praise textures, probiotic-forward krauts like Classic Caraway and Gnar Gnar, and specialties such as Whiskey Dill and Kimchi Pickles, while calling out inconsistent crunch, overly salty dressing, tame heat, and sauces that miss the kimchi–ranch brief.

Cleveland Kitchen Kimichi and Garlic Sauerkraut was great I was pleasantly surprised. While the kimichi doesn't have the classic fermented taste, it was an amazing snack.

I am about halfway through my bag of Cleveland Kitchen kimchi and I think it is pretty good. I like it well enough. I don't know how authentic it is but the packaging is nice and it seems to last a long time.

I have overall liked what I have tried from this brand. The pickles I tried were a tad too spicy for me, but I still enjoyed them. The kraut was good as well.


I have tried most of the products by Cleveland Kitchen. The pickled onions, pickles and jalapeños are great. They are frequently on sale at my local Publix so that’s a plus. I was not a fan of their kimchi though.

I really loved these Cleveland Kitche pickles. They are super crunchy and delicious. I think the price is fair for how good they are. The ingredients are fresh and you can tell the quality is there as well! 10/10!

Nice pickle. Wasn’t as hot as we thought it would be. Nice addition to lunch box or take on the go. Just wish it was resealable.

Cleveland Kitchen has a variety of Asian-inspired kimchi, pickles, and sauces. The kimchi is mild and good for people who are trying kimchi for the first time. Recently, I picked up the new sauces and hot honey jalapeno pickles. The sauces are ok, while the hot honey jalapeno are pleasantly spiced (on the mild side).

I’ve tried Cleveland Kitchen’s pickles and they’re great!! However, their sauce was just not it for me. The flavor tasted like neither kimchi nor ranch. Almost a pizza-esque flavor. It’s called Everything Sauce but I will be putting this on…nothing, unfortunately.

My go-to sauerkraut brand!! I alternate between buying the Classic Caraway and Beet Red flavors every week, and basically add them to every meal I eat, super tasty and high quality. Also recently tried their Kimchi Pickles, which my boyfriend and I ended up being a big fans of and will probably regularly start purchasing. Overall, every product I have tried from this brand has gone beyond my expectations and will always be so down to try anything else they put out.
I love fermented food done right! The kimchi pickles are perfectly spicy and the brine is great. The dill pickle spears are amazing and had my family fighting over them. High quality pickles and the price is just right for them.
Cleveland Kitchen for the probiotic win! I love the texture of these krauts and kimchi - super crunchy and flavorful. My personal favorites are the Gnar Gnar and the Whiskey Dill, and the Sweet Beet and Roasted Garlic dressings. Not to mention the pickles! So crunchy and delicious.

Would love to see some spicy pickles!
I tried the dill pickles. These were pretty good. My container was kind of hit or miss with getting a crunchy one though. The flavor is like a basic Vlasic pickle. Price isn't bad for how much you get.

Their kimchi is my favorite, it is not too spicy (but definitely does have some heat) or overly tangy but has a great flavor! The sauerkraut is also pretty good, I would like to try their beet flavor next.

I have been enjoying the pickle buffalo sauce. Great buffalo flavor and the dill pickle comes through nicely. I drizzle it on all sorts of things - salads, wraps, veggie burgers, toast, etc. Versatile and high-quality ingredients. The only thing I would change is to lower the sodium a bit, since it is very salty.
THEIR PICKLES ARE SO DELICIOUS! I really thought “how could you mess up a pickle?” then tried the packaged generic Target pickles and realized you REALLY can! Cleveland Kitchen pickles are perfectly crunchy, textured cut, savory, so so so beyond yummy!
Don't get me wrong - I liked these pickles. They were crispy and crunchy and had the great taste of dill that I would expect out of a dill pickle spear. But that's about it, and they were much more expensive than a traditional pickle spear I could get anywhere else. I would've tried the unique kimchi pickles, yet they only came in the sliced variety, and I much prefer a spear.

I tried the kimchi pickles and was disappointed that they were purely pickles with maybe a hint of onion; perhaps this was a misconception on my part, but I was assumed these would be much more like actual kimchi. I do not think it is fair to judge a brand by just one product but I would not try these again personally!

Your Miso Jalapeno salad dressing sucks! Tastes like crap, will never by your shit again. Worst support website ever, they don't care and make it difficult.
