You can always get your sushi within 5 blocks. But not traditional Korean sushi/kimbap like the ones served at Koreantown's E-Mo.
E-Mo really is just a take-out store. You walk into this tiny store, and order the type of kimbap you desire (from regular bulgogi, to sausage, tuna, cheese, etc), then the chef would roll the sushi right away. Price range is totally acceptable. Free miso soup is included.What makes E-Mo's kimbap "traditional" is that they always include carrots, pickled radish, and SPINACH. The spinach (I think it's spinach...) creates this "weird smell" when you first open the box. Not everyone can tolerate it I'd say. It's definitely a rare ingredient, yet traditional, to put in since most Americanized kimbaps usually have avocados inside instead.
Not to mention, the rice is perfectly seasoned, with sesame oil too.
