I don't think Galway is that cosmopolitan.

Sorry for that I think you need to go over to Dublin.
Korean BBQ on Capel street, Dublin
Kimchi on Parnell street, Dublin

Olive down in the Wa Café at the docks may be able to sort you out, she teaches Korean cooking as well afaik.

Yes, Wa restaurant by the docks have a Japanese chef. And they have done Korean weekends in the past. So they're your best bet.

As an aside, Kimchi is definitely one of them foods that splits opinion. You either like it or you don't. One of the most pungent foods I've personally ever tasted.

OP, did you live in Korea?

Reminds me of this class from The Simpsons:

Skinner: "The year was 1968. We were on recon in a steaming Mekong delta. An overheated private removed his flack jacket, revealing a T-shirt with an ironed-on sporting the MAD slogan "Up with Mini-skirts!". Well, we all had a good laugh, even though I didn't quite understand it. But our momentary lapse of concentration allowed "Charlie" to get the drop on us. I spent the next three years in a POW camp, forced to subsist on a thin stew made of fish, vegetables, prawns, coconut milk, and four kinds of rice. I came close to madness trying to find it here in the States, but they just can't get the spices right! "
