It's served often cold but is found in a large variety of things. There's water kimchi, radish kimchi, spicy tofu kimchi soup (kimchi chigae), cucumber kimchi, radish kimchi... etc. etc. It also varies a LOT in terms of how it tastes based on how skillful the chef is. If you go to a really good Korean restaurant (well reviewed in the area) you'll probably think it's good stuff. But who knows some people just don't like it.
It's hard to find good kimchi at stores IMO. Especially Costco, never buy kimchi from there. It's horrible. My recommendation is to find a traditional Korean grandmother. Most of them in my experience are very good at making kimchi, and they often do it in very large amounts.
