E-Mo: Reviews & Ratings

A small hole in the wall place in K-town that sells kimbap (Korean rolled sushi). They are cash only! I ordered the spicy tuna kimbap and the bulgogi kimbap for my husband. It totaled to $22. Price wise- I thought it was a bit on the expensive side, but I understand that rent is probably high here, as opposed to in Queens. Taste -wise- it was not bad, but not someplace I would come to order kimbap again. Since I've tried kimbap from many places in Queens, the kimbap at EMO was subpar. Lastly, I ordered the spicy tuna kimbap but was given the regular tuna kimbap instead. By the time I went to eat it, I was already on the way to uptown and was far to go back and mention it to the store.

Kimbab got a nice flavor and spice to it. This is a quick to go spot for Kimbab. The spicy tuna is $11 and there is no charge of tax.

All I have to say is this spot has the BEST kimbap in all of New York. It is so delicious, so fresh, and cheap. This tiny shop can be deceiving because of its size but the taste of the Kimbap definitely shows it's worth.

I come here for the vegetable and mushroom kimbaps on the reg when I'm running around the city with not much time. This is the hole in the wall shop that has weathered the pandemic and with good reason. The ingredients are consistently fresh and for under $10 you can get your money's worth of a homemade roll that is just *chef's kiss.* A great respite if you want a break from oily takeout foods while not sacrificing taste. Just make sure you bring cash because it's cash only. Lots of ATM's nearby if not. There is often a line whenever I go, but they prepare the rolls quickly so the wait is minimal. Worth the trek. Try it once and see if you'll be converted.

E-Mo is a hidden kimbap gem in ktown. I came here to grab a few rolls to share with friends and they were delicious and easy to share. The staff was also extremely nice - the woman who took our order was so friendly and the woman who was making the kimbap in the back was so skilled and quick. We ordered one beef kimbap and one spicy squid kimbap. Both were equally delicious and would totally come back for more.

Prices went up by a couple of bucks over the past year, but I still buy kimbap here anyway because I'm too lazy to do it at home. They're pretty big and one is plenty for a meal. Every roll is $10 + these days. I'm not sure where else you will find someone cranking out kimbap in front of you in K-town, so I don't mind the price too much. You can definitely buy the prepared ones at H-mart/Woorijip if you're trying to save a few dollars.
