Description

Tucked in Montclair Village, EM Deli is a neighborhood Korean market and deli offering house-made kimchi, banchan, kimbap, crispy Korean fried chicken, pre-cooked BBQ and grab-and-go bentos alongside a wide selection of Korean and Japanese groceries—from fresh San Francisco–sourced fish and cuts of meat to instant noodles, refrigerated staples and frozen meals. Friendly owners, easy online ordering and quality ready-made dishes make it a go-to for takeout, small dinner parties and home cooks, though popular items can sell out and some offerings are pricier.

I visited this restaurant for the kimbap, and it exceeded my expectations. It was delicious and incredibly fresh! Make sure to arrive early, though, as it sells out quickly. I also enjoyed all the tasty treats they had to offer. It's a bit on the pricey side, but overall, it was worth it. I will definitely be coming back!

EM Deli is a lovely Korean market located in the Montclair area of Oakland. I tried the ready-made Korean Beef Bibimbap and Bulgogi bowl to go, and it was excellent.

Korean food at its finest! The homemade kimchi is my favorite—delicious! You can find a wide variety of side dishes and main dishes available for takeout. The hot pork buns are incredibly fresh, and the homemade wonton appetizers are a must-try. This place in Montclair is a gem!

Try their new handmade dumplings in baby octopus and spicy flavors. So good I ate them before snapping a pic.
