Rice could be softer - Crab rangoon egg roll is more of a Baltimore crab egg roll rather than crab rangoon - no cream cheese taste and seasoned with old bay. Tastes best without sauce given

If you've visited Baltimore and haven't yet been to Ekiben, this is your sign to make your way…read moretoday! Ekiben is the definition of unique flavors & a depth of culture. Their menu is a fusion of Asian & Ethiopian cuisine, an unexpected yet insanely good combination! With locations in 3 staple areas of Baltimore city, you'll experience not only great food but also the opportunity to explore all the sweet gems Baltimore has to offer. My top 3 picks from the menu which are a must when you visit are: ramen broccoli (perfect cooked in tempura batter seasoned with a "tangy" blend of spices); Red beans & Rice (vegan friendly dish of cooked lentils over rice topped w/ a fresh tomato & onion blend); & of course the shrimp (really any of them because you can't go wrong). Ekiben is definitely a staple and somewhere that warrants frequent visits. I highly recommend!

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

Heard great things about the Maryland softies and decided to give it a try. We came on Saturday…read moreduring lunch and surprisingly only one person ahead in line. 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 got this recommendation from a colleague who is a Maryland native and decided to check it out for lunch and it did not disappoint! Everything on the menu looked good, but I decided to get out of my normal bowl-love and try noodles. Also, I love tempura vegetables in general so had to try the tempura broccoli. The tempura broccoli barely made it back to the hotel because I finish half of it in the car. The tofu was the perfect crispness, and the noodles were the perfect spicy oily deliciousness. Not to mention, the sparkling Yuzu white peach drink. I was disappointed when I realize that this was Maryland-native beverage and I probably won't be able to get this back in Atlanta. We will definitely be back! Ps: service was quick and easy! It's takeout vibes with a little bit of indoor seating, but everyone was welcoming and gave me great recommendations

A huge thank you to the Ekiben team for bringing the Tacklebox back, even if only for a limited time. It's been missed, and you definitely made a lot of longtime fans happy. 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!

Came here with no reservations and was able to get sat within 5 mins on a Friday night. My friends and I ordered an appetizer each, plus an entree each, and we were drowning in food. The corn cheese was incredible and melty, the fried dumplings were crisp and the dipping sauce was delicious, the edamame was fine, nothing crazy. We all ordered some sort of bibimbap bowl, and they were quite huge. The Kongbination is what I got, which comes with beef bulgogi, pork bulgogi, fried chicken, white rice, salad, and a fried egg. I was able to take home half and have plenty for lunch the next day. Everything was delicious, great price for the amount of food, and fun atmosphere. I would love to check out their karaoke rooms next time!

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!
