The Best Korean Restaurants in the East Bay | Eater SF
"Tucked away on a sidestreet in sleepy Montclair village is a kimchi oasis. EM Deli used to be in downtown Oakland, but moved to Montclair a few years ago, and has been a welcome sight for locals. EM is best known for their excellent house-made kimchi, but their to-go dosirak — Korean lunch boxes — are excellent, and their banchan selection is varied and interesting. If you don’t see a favorite, the owners are happy to make sure it’s in stock the next time you visit. They also sell a good variety of staple items for a Korean pantry — a good option for customers who are too afraid to brave KP’s parking lot. Call in or walk in." - Noah Cho
