The sweet vinegar and herbs balance it perfectly. Perfection. That's saying a lot since I'm a meat lover. The shrimp is delicious, and the chicken (Neighborhood Bun or Bowl) is brilliant. The egg rolls are also delicious. If you can handle a little spice, the Red Beans and Rice are great, too.

Everyone has told me that Ekiben is a must-try in Baltimore and now I understand why. My mom and I…read moregot to Ekiben a little after 5pm on Saturday and it was packed. While we waited for our food, many continuously piled in to order or pick up their food. I'd recommend calling in your order a head of time because they get pretty backed up, but the food is well worth the wait. I got the Tofu Brah bun and my mom got the chili noodles with pork and a side of rice and beans. All of the food was so flavorful and the portions were generous. The bun itself was so light and fluffy, and the tofu was crispy. They didn't skimp on the pork in the chili noodles - about half the dish was really tender pork. The rice and beans were nice and spicy too and my mom loved them! This is more of a grab and go kind of place, but there are two outdoor benches and some countertop seating inside

Azumi was the perfect pre-show dinner spot before heading to see Dave Chappelle at CFG Arena…read more We grabbed seats at the sushi bar and had a great experience from start to finish. For drinks, I ordered an espresso martini with tequila. Our server suggested adding Baileys to the first one, and while I gave it a try, it quickly reminded me that I am firmly Team No Baileys in my espresso martinis. Thankfully, the second one was exactly how I like it. For food, we started with the house salad, yellowtail roll, and crispy rice with tuna. Everything was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. For our entrée, I had my heart set on the miso black cod, but my dining companion is a devoted branzino fan. After talking through both dishes with our server, he strongly recommended the branzino. I'll never admit this to him directly, but the server may have been right. The fish was perfectly cooked and absolutely delicious. One small thing to note is that we had to ask for soy sauce, wasabi, and ginger after our sushi arrived. This seems to be becoming more common at restaurants these days, and I'm guessing it's an effort to reduce waste, which I can appreciate. It wasn't a big deal at all, but if you're a sushi traditionalist like me, don't be surprised if you need to request the full set of accompaniments. One thing that really stood out was the service. Our server was attentive, knowledgeable, and honest when we asked about menu items. We mentioned that we were running a bit behind for our show, and he made sure our food came out quickly without making us feel rushed. The restaurant itself is stylish and upscale, though a bit smaller than some of the other waterfront restaurants nearby. There's a nice bar area, sushi bar seating, and a lively atmosphere without feeling overwhelming. They also offer valet parking. We initially assumed it was only for The Ruxton next door since that's where it was stationed, but our server later let us know it's available for Azumi guests as well. Good information for next time! Pricing felt appropriate for a waterfront sushi and seafood restaurant in Harbor East. The portions matched the price point, and we left satisfied without feeling like we overpaid. Overall, Azumi delivered great food, excellent service, and a fun atmosphere. While Baltimore has plenty of great dining options, I'd happily return if I'm back in the area and not in the mood to try somewhere new.

The servings are pretty sizeable - they really love putting their sushi platters in a boat which seems appropriately sized. It all makes for a great date night or small group dinner. It is staple in Fells Point being open for a couple of decades so the people sure do believe in this place. I thought the cuts of fish were very generous and tasty, but I was a little disappointed in the sushi rice. I found it a bit mushy and not seasoned properly. We mainly ordered sashimi or rice-less dishes. The cucumber salad was just that - rounds of cucumber. We got this with Crab Meat, but there didn't seem to be any dressing on it so it was fairly plain. I enjoyed the Sashimi Roll - they are large pieces that will stretch the average mouth to fit. We got a side of spicy mayo and found it more sweet than spicy. I appreciated that the Sushi & Sashimi plate came with small seaweed salad. All in all a great spot I would frequent if I lived in Baltimore - you really can't beat the location that enhances the dining experience.

Delicious ramen in Fells Point!…read more Food: 5/5 delicious. The red with tonkotsu shoyu broth had a great taste profile: not too heavy on the garlic and wasn't too creamy. Not too salty either, which I find happens with some other ramen places. Noodles had a nice texture too, not too chewy or overcooked. The appetizer with the squid leg kara-age was also yummy and I was surprised that I got more than 3 pieces for the price of $8, so used to getting ripped off for apps. Service: 5/5 never had to ask for my water to be refilled even when the glasses are like 10 oz and I'm eating food with a little kick to it. Ambiance: soft music in the background, anime playing on a projector. Can sit a party of 8-10 if needed, with booths and tables that sit 4.

The Wet Bird featured a flavorful chicken broth, hand pulled beer noodles, grilled chicken, charred tomatoes, and a nice kick from the Sichuan pepper oil. The spicy ground pork noodles were savory, satisfying, and packed with flavor. Service was fast too. Generous portions, unique dishes, and a great spot to enjoy a bowl of noodles while shopping or relaxing on the patio. I'd definitely order both again.

I will definitely love to try the shrimp next. I took my order to go but I will eat in Ejji next time.

The serving sizes though could be larger for the price charged. Experience: The ambiance of this place is very genuine. You'll see the chef literally making the sushi/bento right there behind a bamboo/wood aesthetic sushi bar. The presentation of the food and interior is sublime. Wonderful. Taste: Despite the relatively higher sauces, the food itself was simply put, very delicious. The creative use of mango, tomato, and oil contrasted the soy sauce and wasabi very well. The fish itself was also, and this is especially important, the star of the dish flavor. Overall, a very competent and high performing Sushi place. One of the best Japanese cuisine dine in experiences in Baltimore.

The chef was working at the back of the room and I noted that folks were coming to pick up their food. Accomodating myself at the table, I ordered miso soup and salmon rolls; both were excellent.

Nevertheless, with such a tasty food and friendly service, I could not be happier for having visited this place.
