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

Rarely do I visit a restaurant where the food looks exactly like the picture before you even take a…read morebite and then tastes even better than it looks. Ekiben did that. 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

I considered ordering online, but walked up. Given the suffocating heat on the day and the fact…read morethat this tiny shop had a line out the door, the online order would have been the right choice. So I just walked away and ordered online, which was a struggle due to the app not taking the order for a bit, but eventually I got through. It was ready quickly enough. Ekiben, classically a sandwich spot, has broken into the noodle business. I sampled their knife cut noodles, which have a wonderfully springy texture and fullness about them. They are available with tofu. This was a small box and had too many cucumbers for my liking. In substance, however, the flavor bomb you expect from Ekiben is still there, from a chili crisp that will elevate your heart rate to a delightful mix of aromatic greens and crunchy onions on top. Ordering a Thai tea yielded a small beverage which was on the sweeter side. I'd probably order something different next time, but for those that haven't tried the knife cut style noodles, I'm glad this neighborhood in Baltimore now has an Ekiben.

There were times I want to tell him he was doing such a good job since my party was big and that's a lot of different people, paces and energy to manage. Nonetheless everything came out timely. The appetizers, the food, and we took desert to go. We ordered a plethora of food, from Bang Bang Shrimp to Alaskan Rolls and hibachi to noodles. We had it all and I can't wait to go back.

Stopped by on the way back from oot. My friend has been here before for some sushi but we decided…read moreto get a little but of everything. We're not too hungry but hungry enough for some app and a roll. We're decided on crab Rangoon, calamari, tuna tataki and titanic roll. Everything was great, we finished it all. Love the tuna, presented beautifully on a lettuce sprinkled with green onions and black sesame. The calamari, while it's not the breaded crispy, its crispy and stir fried with red green pepper and red onions. Loved this too. Crab Rangoon, it's good but not a fan of the dipping sauce that came with it. It's overly sweet and thick in the consistency... this one could definitely be improved. We ended up eating it with the sauce that came with the calamari. Now onto the titanic, nothing but good thing. Fresh and love give it has a black caviar on top. Last but not least, we had to finish with mango sticky rice. The rice came out so warm which was a very nice touch. Ate every bits of it. Service was great attentive and dining area is clean and pretty. There's a seating area on the side where you basically sit in the floor. Would love to come back and experience that another time.

We ordered just after 3 o'clock and they did not give us the lunch special which apparently ends at 3pm, but it was 3:06 so that seemed a little bit silly practice for an empty restaurant, but it was after 3 so I get it. The sushi was very dry. I got the shrimp tempura, the sweet potato tempura, and the mango shrimp tempura... and I think that's the first time I didn't finish my sushi or take it home because it was just not that great. The shrimp tempura roll was literally just shrimp tempura wrapped in rice and seaweed with some eel sauce. The mango shrimp tempura was the same thing but with mango on top. The sweet potato roll was exactly as I expected though. I was kinda disappointed after reading the reviews! I wouldn't go back for sushi... the calamari was yummy though!

So, I'll break down my perfect order but just know, you will never order anything you don't enjoy. Spicy walnut shrimp bowl - no, there aren't nuts. The walnut shrimp are massive and perfect. Their bowls are big enough for two. I get this with a bun on the side and extra pickled goodies. The broccoli is (to me) the most iconic item on the menu. I've never had anything like it. I'm obsessed with it and would never order from here without it. If I'm sharing and extra hungry, the garlic chili oil noodles are coming home with me too. My family also loves the tofu bowl (sauce on the side for my son). You can't go wrong!
