" I took the plunge and visited Ekiben twice in one week! I'm obsessed with their Neighborhood Bird bowl. Each bite is packed with flavor and the portions are huge! I also tried their tempura broccoli, and it's so crispy and delightful. The ordering process was simple, but seating is a bit tight. Despite that, the ambiance is fun and vibrant. If you're looking for tasty, quick food, this is the place to be! " (*Curated Review*)

" Ekiben quickly became my top spot in Baltimore! I tried their beef bowl, and the flavor blew me away. Each ingredient complemented the others perfectly. The staff are incredibly friendly and always offer suggestions. The only challenge is the limited seating and sometimes long waits during peak hours. But the delicious food and delightful experience more than compensate. I'd highly recommend visiting! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had a delightful experience while visiting Ekiben. I ordered the Neighborhood Bird and could taste the freshness farm to table style. The portion size was ample for the price, making it worth every penny! The atmosphere had a vibrant and fun feel, making it a perfect hangout spot. I'll definitely be recommending this to my friends! " (*Curated Review*)

" I decided to check out Ekiben after hearing all the rave reviews, and let me tell you, they are NOT exaggerating! The fried chicken is some of the best I've ever tasted and it was perfectly fried, succulent, and the flavors were so well-balanced. The atmosphere is casual, vibrant, and filled with a lot of energy. It's quite small, so be prepared for potential waits, but the food is worth every minute! If you're hesitant about the prices, know that the portion sizes are more than enough and you'll leave satisfied. " (*Curated Review*)

" My experience at Ekiben was overall positive. I enjoyed the spicy neighborhood bird sandwich; the crunch and flavor were spectacular. The service was really friendly, and it was fun to see the kitchen staff working together. However, I did find it a bit crowded, making it hard to find seating. Nevertheless, the food quality makes it a place worth visiting. " (*Curated Review*)

" 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*)
