" I was blown away by how flavorful the food at Ekiben was. I ordered the tofu brah bowl and was amazed at the generous portion sizes! Each bite was packed with unique flavors and the tofu had a surprisingly great texture. The staff were very nice, but the seating was quite limited, which can be a bummer during peak hours. Overall, I definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a delicious meal with great portions at a reasonable price! " (*Curated Review*)

" The food here is absolutely unreal! The shrimp bowl was packed with flavor, and I was surprised by the freshness of everything I tried. The only drawback was the seating. During peak hours, it can feel a little cramped. However, the energetic vibe and deliciousness of the food definitely made up for it. I will come back for sure, particularly for the tofu dishes that looked incredible! " (*Curated Review*)

" Going to Ekiben was one of the highlights of my trip! The spicy shrimp snack was incredible, and the fried chicken was the best I've had in ages! Everything tasted fresh and vibrant. The staff were enthusiastic and helped me make the perfect selection. The only downside was the wait for a seat, but finding a place to sit was manageable. I will definitely be back when I visit Baltimore again! " (*Curated Review*)

" Ekiben is a gem! The service was phenomenal; everyone was so welcoming and enthusiastic about the food. I tried the tofu nugget bowl, and it was delightful—so full of flavor with a nice balance between savory and slightly sweet. The portions were generous, easily enough for me to take some home for later. The bustling vibe of the restaurant made it feel lively and fun, though I wish there was more space to sit. On the whole, this place is definitely worth a visit if you're in Baltimore! " (*Curated Review*)

" Every time I go to Ekiben, I leave satisfied and eager to return! The fried chicken sandwich is simply wonderful, not too spicy but perfectly seasoned. I also appreciate the generous portions, making it a decent meal for the price. The atmosphere could be a bit cramped during lunch, but the lively staff and their friendliness more than make up for it. I highly recommend this spot to anyone looking for great food and service!

" Had my first experience at Ekiben and it was remarkable! I tried their shrimp bowl and the fried tofu, and both were fantastic. It was impressive how fresh everything tasted. The wait time for food wasn't bad either, which is crucial during lunch hours. The staff seemed really passionate about what they do, and it made the experience even better. The only downside was the limited seating; as I went during a busy hour, it filled up fast. Definitely a place I would love to come back to! " (*Curated Review*)

" After months of waiting to finally taste the Neighborhood Bird, I can say it was worth the anticipation! The chicken was incredibly juicy, and the flavors were simply perfect. Pairing that with the crispy and savory tempura broccoli? Amazing! The atmosphere was bustling, which was enjoyable, but it might get tight during the rush hours. I'm happy I gave it a chance and will definitely be back. " (*Curated Review*)
