It's served either cold or room temperature.

There are many different kinds of kim chee, differing in hotness, amount of garlic, etc. Kim Chee is usually basically cabbage, but it can also be pickled radishes or other vegetables. The main thing is they're fermented with plenty of garlic, salt, and usually but not always some chilis for bite.

If you had a dull one, that's what I'm wanting to avoid, so I'm wondering if anyone has recommendations. There are better and worse Kim Chee's.
