Wow,wow wow! Probably the absolute BEST TOFU sandwich I have ever had! Cannot wait to return. Oddly located in an alley, behind Avenue restaurant.

Truly incredible food. Unique flavors and super friendly and helpful staff. We got the neighborhood bird bowl and the same thing on a bun and I texted three different people about it while eating. It was that good. Absolutely a must visit if you're in the area. The art on the walls, cool music, and alley entrance only add to the already incredible experience. Looking for lunch? Stop, you found the best.

What did I do before Ekiben? This place has become a weekly stop for me. The food is packed with flavor and consistently delivers time after time. My favorite items are the ancho chile pork bowl, the tempura broccoli and the spicy walnut shrimp. If this place delivered it would be game over for me, I'd be eating it every day!

Phenomenal food! The spicy neighborhood bird on a bao bun is the best chicken sandwich I’ve ever had. The tempura broccoli, walnut shrimp snacks and cheese egg roll are also fantastic!
Was told this served the best sandwiches in Baltimore…. haven’t had many, but this one would be hard to beat! When I eat out, I want a good intersection of quality, quantity, and price… along with uniqueness. This place hit the sweet spot with HIGH MARKS. To boot, they had gluten free options for my wife!
A great spot for a quick, soul-warming, bite to eat! I ordered the spicy neighborhood bird bun; the chicken was nice and crisp on the outside, but juicy and tender on the inside. It was bit messy to eat, so if you’re not looking to get your hands a little saucy I recommend going for the bowl. If you enjoy Thai iced tea, you have to grab a bottle. It paired perfectly with the meal! I can’t wait to go back!!

If I could only eat one food for the rest of my life, it would be Ekiben's Tofu Brah. Seriously, this place is the real deal and should be on everyone's Baltimore bucket list.

This is by far one of my favorite food spots in Baltimore. This is an interesting and delicious Asian fusion. You can't go wrong with either the bun or the bowl and either the chicken or the adobo pork. Besides the delicious food, staff is very nice. This place is a must in Baltimore!

Absolute dynamite!The best in Baltimore and it lives upto the hypeWent during the day and it did not disappoint.The staff was friendly and gave great suggestions and took time to go over the menuMy wife and I both got the neighborhood bird sandwich (one spicy and one mild). The bun is the perfect compliment. The chicken is dark mean and loaded with spices and just the right amount of heat. Portion size is whopping. Breading locks in a moist profile for the chicken that cannot be beatThe broccoli has a wonderful crunch and blend of seasoning including mint. While it seems odd, the flavor pairing absolutely works and is one of the best dishes I have had in a long timeTops: parking on 36th street can be tough. The entrance is not on the main Avenue and around the building in the back alley (can be a bit trickey to realize)Enjoy!

Hi it sure would be cool if your phone number worked so that I can find out if you have sesame in your food and I could order right now and have a delicious lunch :-)
