    Got the classic roll ($5) and spicy salmon roll ($8). Most of the other options range between $8-15. This reminds me more of a kimbap than a sushi roll. Food stall/stand so it is all to-go. The sauce in the classic roll was spicier than the one in spicy salmon. Quick service. Cannot beat the price for a sushi burrito / kimbap option. Minimum card payment is $8. Would definitely return!

    We arrived around 3 pm on a Saturday afternoon. It was freezing outside and yet there was still something of a crowd by this place. It is a hole in the wall spot in west village that is next to an apartment complex with several rolls to try. The rolls are closer to an uncut kimbap than a sushi but man were they fantastic. There are several sushi roll options to choose from ranging from the $5 classic to $15. All of which look fantastic. There is about an 8 dollar minimum for any credit card purchases. We ordered the classic and the spicy salmon. The classic stick was $5 and the spicy salmon was $8. They are served with a side of soy sauce. There is no place nearby to sit down to it's a bit awkward trying to eat with the sauce while standing up. Due to the immense cold we were camped out in an apartment lobby next door. The food took less than 10 minutes to be made. I personally loved the classic stick. Will definitely be back for the classic stick. Funny enough it tasted spicier (was not very spicy just a nice kick) compared to the salmon. They are not very filling. I feel like I can easily devour about 2 of them. Lovely and kind service. Love this place and will be back

    Yummy Stick is the definition of hole in the wall. I never would have found it unless I had been searching Yelp for lunch in the area. I needed a quick bite and Yummy Stick was a perfect option. I ordered the shrimp tempura (no crab stick). A really good value for $10. It came with fried egg, cucumber, avocado, spicy mayo - wrapped in a seaweed with excellent rice, the burrito itself wasn't huge, but it was a perfect size for a lunch. I was almost too full to finish the last couple bites. You definitely don't need two unless you're very hungry. The burrito was delicious. It felt hearty, perfect amount of toppings, egg, avocado, and mayo. It came with a small soy sauce which was a challenge to use while standing (but I did it). Would definitely come by again. If I lived/worked/went to school here (there were a TON of students), I'd probably eat here all the time.

    Best value snack for $5 in NYC so far. I got there right as a cute Korean couple were opening up. A hole in the wall so easily missed. Service was quick -- 2 minutes, but no seating unfortunately. I got the classic and crab ($6), which is similar but crab is way better because of the radish. These sticks are essentially uncut kimbap, yummy indeed. Great snack on the go.

    Got a sushi burrito for only $5 from this tiny window in Manhattan! This spot is open Mon-Fri 11am-4pm, and is perfect for an on-the-go meal during lunch hours. It's actually more of a kimbap burrito (= kimburrito?!) & they sell a whole assortment of rolls at Yummy Stick. Depending on the roll you get, prices range from $5 to $13 here. The original $5 burrito is stuffed with crab, fried egg, and rice with seaweed wrapped around, made fresh-to-order. The shop owners are so sweet and the burrito is quick, convenient, and filling. Can you believe this is only $5? Where else in Manhattan would you get lunch for $5? (besides Chinatown :P)

    Biked 25 minutes to get here during my lunch break and WOW!!! This was delicious. Prices must have been raised in the last week or so since the reviews mention cheaper pricing, just beware. Paid $6 for a "original crab" stick and was well-worth it. One of these bad boys will fill you up for a light lunch, two and you'll be full for sure. Can't wait to come back!

    I arrived just after 12 PM on a weekday and there were a few people waiting to order and a few people waiting for their orders. It is a small store front where you order at the door and wait for your order on the sidewalk. Since there was a small crowd it was easy to spot from down the street. The service was friendly and quick. I asked the person taking orders if she thought 1 was enough, and she recommended getting 2. I ordered the original and the spam yummy stick and only had to wait a few minutes before getting my food. The original came with crab, fried egg, house mayo, and spicy sauce. The spam came with spam, fried egg, spinach, carrot, and yellow radish. They also give soy sauce in a small container. I preferred the spam yummy stick but both were good and I was full after about 1 1/2. Overall this is a great spot if you need a quick meal on the go, but I wouldn't go out of my way if I wasn't in the area.

    The staffs are friendly, this is a hidden gem. A regular roll is $5. The food was delicious! They are only open during the weekday for a couple hours. Would recommend coming here again! This is a hole in the wall shop, no places to sit. Staff: 5/5 Food: 5/5 Ambience: 3/5

    A great solution for relatively cheap lunch bite or even if you're just looking for a quick bite on the way to something. Prices can be as low as seven dollars but can go up to around $15 depending on the type of roll you get. This place is doing something that has a bit interesting: it's giving sushi burritos another chance by fusing essentially a sushi roll with Kimbap and not cutting it into slices. This makes for a more burrito like eating experience, which makes it more accessible to grab and go, and it's bigger than your traditional sushi roll as well, which makes it more like kimbap, as it's also stuffed with veggies and egg. It's the perfect fusion I was looking for - a blend of more ingredients and larger size from kimbap while keeping the japanese fish options and making it relatively cheap. It's operating out of a hole in the wall and the lady who took my order was so sweet and helpful. I only waited around five minutes for my order though there was a line building,

    10/10 customer service they are so sweet and service is fast. The kimbap itself is tasty and a great quick meal in the area.

    SO YUMMY. I love how convenient it is to eat the "yummy stick" on the go, and the flavors are fantastic, all the ingredients well distributed throughout. The service is wonderful as well and the shop owners are extremely kind and made me feel valued as a customer. Will definitely come back if I ever need an easy meal on the go.

    Side Salad

    Ordered delivery from here tonight. Ordered the sashimi deluxe. It was $29.95 on Grubhub and they had a promo for $10 off. So I tried it. It was 18 pieces of assorted fish. Comes with either soup or salad and rice. I chose salad. In comments asked then to hold the rice. The food arrived late. I thought it wasn't coming. The salad is just lettuce, some shredded carrot, three slices cucumber, and a grape tomato. Dressing on side. Not a fan. I'd try soup next time. It was fresh though, but I tossed the tomato. The sashimi itself is very small. It was fresh which was nice. But if I had to pay $30 for this little amount of fish, I'd be upset haha. I'm happy they kept the rice! :) So while it was good, it is not worth the money. If they run a promo again, I may order from them again. But we will see.

    Can be easy to miss if youre not looking for it (especially in my case as they have scaffolding…read moreoutside right now). It has a very chic atmosphere when you first walk in. Sat at a high top by the bar and had a fairly light dinner. The Beef Tartare comes out with a cracked quail egg for you to pour into the meat yourself and the beef sat on top of sone sliced pear. It's a small appetizer but it tasted fresh and clean, the crispness of the pear matches well with the heaviness of the beef. The cured shrimp was delicious, I'm sad there was only 3 because I wanted 5 servings of it. The uni, roe, and soy shrimp practically melted in your mouth. The Uni Bimbimbap has rave reviews and I can see why. It was filling without being overly heavy and each bite had uni in it after mixing it up. If you're unsure about uni, this is definitely a great way to introduce yourself to it's flavor palette.

Bb.q Chicken's rose tteokbokki is better imo - Pork shank: 9/10, really tender and juicy meat that fell off the bone. Hella pricey tho (-1 point) - Kimchi fried rice w/ prime hanger steak: 6/10, just okay. Not a huge fan of the fried rice, the steak was good, medium rare - Espresso martini: 8/10, really strong lol

They have a variety of the standard fare Korean options at reasonable prices. We tried the ddukbokki and bulgolgi dupbap which were both good.

Overall a solid option in the area if you don't want to wait for a long queue outside of the other popular spots.

Other than that, I really enjoyed my meal and I'd definitely recommend this spot.
