Consistently great food and service. Tried almost everything on the menu and it’s all SO good. My favorites are the spicy neighborhood bird, tofu brah, shrimp snacks, the bun, and the ramen broccoli is to die for! pretty much the whole menu. We always have leftovers and that makes me so happy.

What we tried: neighborhood bird bowl, spicy walnut shrimp bowl, tempura broccoli, ramen broccoli.
I’ve wanted to try this place for YEARS legit before I even was even old enough to drive. I dont know why it took me so many years to actually go try it, but I FINALLYYY did. I don’t remember the name of the gentleman that helped with my order, but he was great. He recommended the ramen broccoli, and we ended up getting both. I thought they were both very good!! eat them right away!! I did like the ramen broccoli more.
I was feeling a rice dish that night, so I got the neighborhood bird bowl. Portions are HUGE I think it took me 2 leftover meals to finish most of it. Photos make the bun look sooo good though, so I got that on the side. Exactly what I thought it would be. delicious. i love carbs. The shrimp was also very good. I think the food was pretty salty, though. Suuupperrrrr heavy stuff. Maybe a bit too heavy for me personally, but I had a great experience! I might try something else in the future. NEED to try the soft shell crab, so I hope it comes back. Everything, like other fried food, tastes best fresh. Thank you!

I have been wanting to try Ekiben for so long, and I finally got the chance to this weekend. The young lady at the register was patient with me as I looked over the menu, and was nice with making notes for the kitchen about my allergy. The food was what I expected and then some, I have never had such delicious shrimp before, and with the size it was definitely worth the price in my opinion. The neighborhood bird bowl was amazing too, I had enough for lunch and dinner the next day. The pickled veggies were refreshing, the chicken juicy and crispy, and the sauce on top is amazing. I cannot wait to come back (please open a location in the washington dc area!)

Yummy yummy!
We came here for our 1st time due to their support of federal employees during the government shutdown! A big thank you for supporting us when we were down & needed help!
So glad we tried it because it was soooo good! Plus the employees were so friendly & cheerful! We will definitely be back!
We each got Neighborhood Bird Bowl plus the Tempura Broccoli! Yum!

First time visiting this establishment and I was very impressed. Minor issues with my order being overlooked but the young man at the register made sure I was taken care of and showed great customer service skills. Ordered the fried chicken bao bun, fried chicken rice bowl and was given the strawberry matcha and red apple sparkling water. All amazing!

How can you not love Ekiben? Likeee huh? Amazing food. I love the Todu brah bowl. This location is super tight inside. Since most people do grab and go, it’s fine. It feels a little claustrophobic sometimes, though.

Ekiben has been on my Baltimore dining list for a long time, and it absolutely lived up to the hype. After seeing the never-ending lines at their Night Market pop-up in Fells Point, I finally made my way to their South Baltimore restaurant to try the famous Softie sandwich before it disappeared from the menu.
The Softie is a masterpiece and one of the most creative sandwiches in Baltimore: a crispy soft shell crab paired with a jumbo lump crab cake, tucked into a pillowy bao bun with melted cheddar and bold sauces. I ordered the Ekiben Softie, seasoned with a Cantonese dry rub that delivers incredible flavor. The Maryland Softie, with Chesapeake remoulade and Old Bay, is next on my list. Both are indulgent, inventive, and uniquely Baltimore.
This location is the only one offering the Softies, but the regular menu at Ekiben Baltimore is just as impressive. Their Asian fried chicken sandwich on bao is a local favorite, and the fried broccoli has a cult following. Other standouts include garlic oil noodles, sticky ribs, and crispy shrimp bowls. It’s the type of menu that makes you want to return with friends and order everything to share.
The space is casual with limited seating inside and picnic tables outside, but the vibe is vibrant and welcoming. The staff was warm and attentive, and the music gave the restaurant an energy that made waiting enjoyable.
With three locations across the city, Ekiben has earned its reputation as one of the best restaurants in Baltimore. It’s inventive without being gimmicky, crave-worthy without being overdone, and absolutely worth the line. I can see why food lovers consistently rank Ekiben among the top Baltimore spots. I’m already planning my next visit.

All of their food is delicious but the broccoli tempura is otherworldly. Honest, never had broccoli with such amazing flavor. If you’re a broccoli lover, try this! Crisp, yet soft, and so many flavors that all roll up it to this amazing little dish. A million out of 10. Not to be beat, do not miss!

Wait times are crazy. Add at least 20 minutes to your wait times during prime dinner times. Very limited seating inside. The restaurant only has street parking. My friend and I ordered the Neighborhood bowl and Neighborhood Bao. The chicken was fried perfectly and the fresh pickled radishes were a nice addition. The rice was cooked well and there was so much chicken in each dish

Believe the hype. Food is so good and flavorful. I got the spicy chicken bun and my girlfriend got the pork bun. The pork bun didn’t have the flavor profile like what I expected, but it was still good! And the chicken one was great!! The broccoli was really good too. The vibe in there was nice and welcoming, the music was a little loud but it wasn’t overbearing. Will definitely be coming back!
