My friend and I shared one order of the walnut shrimp and it was enough for the both of us! We…read morethoroughly enjoyed our meal. We were both expecting walnuts in our shrimp but there weren't any maybe that's a known thing but it surprised us. The bao buns were different from any I have had before. They were larger and less sweet not bad just different! Nonetheless It was delicious, I can't wait to go back and try more. The chicken bao looks amazing. The location I went to was packed and there wasn't much space to sit. Definitely feels more like a to-go place. Despite it being packed service was excellent and fast.

I'm normally a BIG fan of Ekiben, especially the Tacklebox, so it honestly pains me to leave a…read moreless-than-great review because this was definitely more of a one-off bad experience than my usual experience with them. I placed a catering/pickup order at 8:30 AM for my friend's birthday, with a scheduled pickup time of 12:30 PM. When I arrived to pick up the order, I was told that everything I had ordered was sold out. The frustrating part was that I was never notified ahead of time, so I had no opportunity to make another selection before arriving. Since my friend doesn't eat chicken, I had to find another seafood option on the spot. Once I found something that would work, I had to pay an additional $15 and then wait another 20 minutes for the new order. I normally go to the Locust Point location and have never really had issues there, so I don't want this experience to give the impression that I think Ekiben is bad overall. This was genuinely just one bad experience. The food itself is still AMAZING. I'm obsessed with the Tacklebox, the tempura broccoli is , and the chili noodles are an absolute SMASH. I'll definitely still be back because I genuinely love Ekiben -- I just hope there's better communication when an item from a scheduled order is no longer available.

I had been here once before, before moving to the area, and thought it was great then. This time? Extraordinary. I came in about an hour before closing, and anyone who eats out knows food can sometimes feel different that close to closing time. Not here. Everything tasted fresh, flavorful, and just as good as if I had walked in at peak dinner time. On top of that, I had an issue with my online order/payment. It looked like the charge was processing through my account, but they had no record of the order. Instead of making me feel like a problem, the person helping me was patient, kind, and genuinely tried to figure it out. I felt treated like a hungry customer who needed help not like someone trying to get over. The food looked good, tasted amazing, and the people were helpful, welcoming, and kind even near closing. The space was welcoming as well. The corner store ..... come on in. Come on in. Come on in. Top-notch all around

After we ordered, a lot of people came and and line was out the door. The softies was a solid choice and deliocus. It is a really big sandwich, crispy soft shell crab and very heavily seasoned with old bay. It was perfect to share between two people as we have ate a bit beforehand. Overall I would be coming back to try the neighborhood bowl and the rest of their menu. This place had a couple of seatings inside and out.

I hope this amazing dish finds its way back to the menu again in the future it's truly one of the best meals in Baltimore! 10/10. If you haven't tried it yet, don't wait!

Once you order at the counter, they give you a number so that they may find you once your food is ready. Our order - K-BBQ Chicken Pancakes $16.25 (double stack, chicken thigh, miso butter, fried egg, syrup) When I think of Korean bbq chicken, I think of crispy chicken in a soy garlic sauce. Here, it is more of a gochujang. I scraped some of the excess red sauce off and tamed it with the provided syrup and blueberry jam, and enjoyed the meaty dark meat with the pancakes.

The rolls range from average to excellent, but the price is pretty high across the board unfortunately which I don't think necessarily matches the quality of every roll. If you're craving sushi and in the Canton area, this is a great option, but not from a price standpoint. The jalapeño yellow tail is really yummy and the sauce is so good. The miso soup and green salad are a must for me at a sushi place. Their sashimi is also really fresh, and standout rolls for me are the dynamite and the bonfire roll. They also have a really good mango sticky rice with warm rice and ripe mangos. Hits the spot, but your wallet might suffer a little!

I liked that you could order via kiosk, it made the process quick and it helped make the prices/any extra charges more clear.
