Solid noodle spot in an unconventional location! We were looking for a spot to eat in the area and were looking for a place that wasn't a sit down place. Low and behold we find this spot on the top floor of Whole Foods. The cafe floor holds plenty of seating for Ejji and the food stall next to it, with some outdoor seating as well. The tables and chairs are new, welcoming and are plentiful on a Tuesday afternoon. Ejji has a relatively simple menu with sandwiches, select signature noodle options and a build your own ramen option. We decided on the fiery noods (shiitake and ground pork) as well as the wet bird. The fiery noods were delicious, full of hand pulled noodles and a creamy sauce. The sauce consisted of what I think was sesame sauce/peanut butter and mala (numbing chili from peppercorn). I will say that there was more cream/sauce in the ground pork one vs the shiitake (minor inconsistency). Another thing to note is that if you're not used to hand pulled noodles they're a little thicker/chewier/doughier than your typical noodles. As for the wet bird, the ramen was solid, with the meat being perfectly tender and a good amount of spice. Worth a shot if you're in the area and craving Asian food! read more

EJJI - The Wet Bird, fiery shiitake noods, fiery ground pork noods - Ramen Near Me - Baltimore, Maryland

EJJI is hands down one of my Baltimore faves. I am a frequent flyer & had to update my rating to include some photos. I LOVE their firey noods and kingdom wings. I love them so much that I can't bring myself to try anything else on the menu because I always come back to these two. Such amazing flavor, service, and (if the weather is nice) one of the best views on the outdoor deck. read more

My friends and I came here for the first time last week to check out this place in person. It's in a cute area situated on the 2nd floor of Whole Foods. We all got the same thing: the fiery pork noodles. So so delicious! Noodles tasted fresh and had the perfect texture and thickness. There was also an ample amount of ground pork, and the sauce was amazing. I'm tempted to ask what's the secret recipe next time I come here. Can't wait to try other items on the menu! read more

EJJI - Fiery Porky Noods -- hand pulled noodles with sautéed ground pork, chili oil, scallions, and spicy sesame sauce (on the side) - Ramen Near Me - Baltimore, Maryland

This place is amazing! It's tucked away on the upstairs of Whole Foods. Cruised in a minute before closing and the workers there made a point to whip up whatever I wanted, making it clear that it was not a problem at all. This place makes everything from scratch. The Fiery noods are hand-pulled noodles with a sauce that is borderline perfect. I had the minced pork but I could imagine the mushroom substitution is fantastic as well. I've been bouncing around trying different ramen places in the area, but this dish is the best yet. Also went ahead and got the harbor hen, which I certainly could not finish bc of how big it is! The bread is fried and has a nice balance of sweet and salty with sichuan pepper Mayo, lettuce, and fried chicken. This place is a must try if you're in the area! read more

Wow!!!! Ejji has become my new comfort food during the pandemic and I couldn't be more grateful. As someone in a gluten free house - it's hands down THE BEST gluten free noodles out there! The flavors are true umami with a balance of spice to get your senses cleared! The owner, Oscar always has such great energy and passion for his food. It's the best kept secret in Harbor East -- until it won't be! Check them out on the 2nd floor of Whole Foods!! read more

Did not expect to find the best Korean style wings in town at the Whole Foods. Make sure you get the fiery ground pork noods too.

Instagram brought me to you, and I'm never going back! The roasted duck sandwich here, it changed my life! I saw that they were doing this sandwich as a special on Instagram, so I decided to place my order as soon as possible, for me and my fiancé. Y'all, when I tell you this sandwich exceeded all expectations, I'm not exaggerating. The flavors, the umami, the spice, (*happy sigh*) everything just melts into a symphony as you're eating it. My fiancé is STILL talking about this sandwich, so we'll done team!!! read more

We drove all the way from northern Virginia to have the fiery noods. And it was so worth the drive couldn't find anything as tasty and awesome as it in our area! Definitely worth a try. The staff was so nice and the food was affordable. Great views too above the Whole Foods over looking the harbor. While it might not be fancy, the food and view makes up for it 10/10 would make the drive again. read more

Extremely yummy hand pulled noodles, I get the wet bird--the chicken thighs and broth are super flavorful, don't forget the hot sauce on the side. A nice little addition to the top of Whole Foods, a pleasant surprise. I don't eat pork, but really want to try the fiery noods with mushrooms! read more

EJJI - The Wet Bird - Ramen Near Me - Baltimore, Maryland

Really good location with nice ambiance around, very good spot to study and hang out with friends!!! The ramens are very reasonably priced and taste excellent. Everything I've seen is made in house, fresh, and healthy. One big thing about other ramen broths is that they have a strong msg taste, but the soup in the Chicken Shoyu was very flavorful but not too salty. The chicken and soup was cooked in front of us fresh, and the eggs were perfectly soft boiled with strong flavors. Eggs truly tasted like a jewel in the soup!!! Also they give a whole egg, while most places give only half an egg!! The fiery pork noodles were very good too!!! Good balance of sweet, savory, and spice. Very strong sichuan spicy flavor, but you can always ask for it on the side! The noodles are different from the shoyu, and were thicker and sweeter and tasted delicious!!! The ground pork also blends very well with the noodles!!! Also the staff is very sweet and kind!!! 10/10 chicken shoyu 10/10 fiery noodles 10/10 service 10/10 ambiance read more

EJJI - Fiery Pit Beef Noods (Dry Noods) - Ramen Near Me - Baltimore, Maryland

This place was so hard to find so it almost didn't happen. I was craving ramen and was near here so I stopped in. I saw that their tagline says "Baltimore's best ramen" and that they were rated best ramen in 2022. The only way they won that title is if they entered the competition by themselves. Respectfully my ramen just had no flavor, I got the spicy miso pit beef ramen and the spice was there but no flavor. Now the wings?! The wings were 10/10! Those were juicy, flavorful, and crunchy. I also thought the staff was helpful because I was indecisive. I wouldn't come back for Ramen, but the wings have me in a chokehold already. read more

EJJI is my favorite place to eat in Baltimore. Their thick rice noodles are phenomenal and their broth with the habenero sambal....to die for. If I had to have one last meal, it would be from here. There are tons of gluten free options and they are so good about keeping the gluten free food separate to minimize cross contamination. Seriously could not recommend it enough!! Will be sure to add a picture when I go there again...which will be very very soon. read more

So yummy, I tried their Chicken Ramen and fiery noodles with hand pulled noodles. The flavors were wonderful, loved seeing them hand pull the noodles. The Ramen broth was rich and savory. I loved both bowls all around! read more

I've enjoyed the Fiery Noodles, pork and mushroom/shitake a lot!! Very flavorful and filling. The staff was super friendly! Located above the Whole Foods in the food hall with plenty of seating. They will even validate your garage parking for 2 hours read more

Very delicious comfort food! Perfect for takeout on a cold or rainy night. I kept seeing pics of the Fiery Porky Noods on insta and it looked so, SO delicious I couldn't wait to try it... the actual dish lived up to the images... it was a absolutely delicious, spicy and heavenly. They use Mobtown Bewery 51 Rye in this dish, I love local businesses supporting each other! I also ordered the Wet Bird, this was also delicious, not as spicy, which was a good compliment to the Fiery Pork Noods. I was definitely in a food coma before finishing these dishes (I should say I split this all with my hubs), very filling, rich and gluttonous dishes for sure! When picking up... it's not super easy if you have never been. Go inside Whole Foods and make your way to the elevator vestibule and go to second floor, EJJI is in a little food court area to the right. They were so nice when I arrived and told me what container went with what. Much appreciated! Can't wait to order again! read more

I wish I had read that this was inside Whole Foods (on 2nd floor, FWIW). That would have made it so much easier to find. This is a counter-service place; no wait staff. Not fancy, but we liked it. We had the Harbor Hen and the Shitake Fiery Noods. Both excellent! Wish we would be around longer to try more. read more

Will and his team are phenomenal! The level of service, the consistency of flavors, and the joy in which the food is prepared, comes through with every bite! read more

Discovered this place on instagram and I'm so glad I did! I used to go to their Belvedere Square location (back when they gave out cute little trading cards) and loved their ramen. This past weekend, my friend and I tried this location on Saturday and absolutely loved it! It's conveniently located on the second floor above the Whole Foods. We stopped by Ejji first to place our order and the lady at the counter was incredibly nice. My friend doesn't have the highest tolerance for spice, and we were interested in the fiery noods, but the lady let us try the sauce!! It was super yummy and not that spicy. We ended up ordering the fiery noods with pork as well as the fried chicken. We absolutely loved both. The hand pulled noodles were fresh, had great bite to them, and went perfectly with the super flavorful pork. I also loved the fried chicken--the sauce was salty, sweet, with the slightest tang, which was delicious. Can't wait to come back. Hope this location continues to do well. The venue is pretty unique with seating overlooking the Whole Foods so you can people-watch. read more

EJJI - Fiery noods and fried chicken (ignore the olives from whole foods) - Ramen Near Me - Baltimore, Maryland

Talk about a hidden gem! Tucked away on the 2nd floor of the new Whole Foods, this spot is churning out show-stopper beer noodles paired with good to the last drop sauces and a whole spectrum of toppings. I ordered the Sesame Garlic Noods with extra spice and could not put my utensils down! The noodles are thick with just the right touch of hops flavor, cooked to a perfect al dente texture. Let's talk sauce. Along the lines of a Dan Dan five spice flavor profile, it was the perfect compliment to elevate but not dominate the dish. Sides of the sesame oil and red chili spice allowed me to customize away on heat level! As a vegetarian, I was in heaven with the amount of toppings--from the pillow soft shiitakes and sweet corn, to flavorful grilled squash and melt in tour mouth charred tomato. Did I mention that this bowl also comes with veggie gyozas? Just lightly pan fried so you get that slightly chewy crispy dumpling texture with a flavor bomb filling. Only question on my mind is how soon is too soon it to place my next order... read more

It's a unique taste definitely. Expensive and small portion though. Not good enough to come back

The Korean fried chicken wings were fantastic. Our oarty of 4 all thought the Ramen was excellent. Only complaint is that it was hard to find (it's on the 2nd floor of Whole Foods without any signs on the street even suggesting this Ramen restaurant gem is there,) read more

a spacious place with good social distanced seating and pandemic-friendly practices! the staff are so sweet and patient. you can watch the bustle of Whole Foods downstairs from their indoor windows. the flavors were bold and delicious! Plus, they do gluten free noodles or veggie noodles, if you have preferences. i got the veggie noodles and it was amazing! spiralized carrots and zucchini. The bowl will packed with crab meat and the sauce was perfectly spicy but not painful. definitely coming back to try more of their menus! read more

EJJI - Restaurant located above whole foods - Ramen Near Me - Baltimore, Maryland

EJJI is always a go-to for me when I want a cozy, comforting, upscale ramen dish. I loved to go in person back in the day and try whatever their daily special was - always creative, always tasty. Their buns are also good! My go-to is definitely the Tonkotsu ramen bowl, the pork belly is definitely a must-try. I've never had that style of crispy fried pork belly anywhere else. I used to get all the different spicy sauces, but now that they're $.50 apiece, I pick the hottest, which I believe is the red sambal. I loved taking friends to this place and now it's great for takeout (GrubHub delivers!) Everything is packed neatly and it's set up great if I want to eat some now and some later (except I usually just make two trips to the microwave back to back to heat up the first and second round of broth, so it doesn't make it into the fridge anyway... read more

EJJI - EJJI in person, 2017 - Ramen Near Me - Baltimore, Maryland

Best noodles in Baltimore. Hand pulled noodles are a rarity in this area so to have a local place that does them and does them well is great. The noddles are the perfect texture and the spicy sesame dressing sauce pairs with it nicely. Ejji doesn't just stop at noods. The Harbor Hen Sando with homemade Sichuan pepper mayo on a homemade sesame sando bun is not only an amazing lunch option, its also a portal to enlightenment that will help you understand the meaning of life. I'm originally from about 30 min outside NYC so definitely a food snob. I've been on a noodle quest ever since I've arrived here and like Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade, I found the holy grail! read more

EJJI - Fiery Noods - Ramen Near Me - Baltimore, Maryland

Wow, really terrific, healthy Asian food! My wife is a Vietnamese cookbook author and we eat exclusively Asian food at home and eating out, so we are pretty picky and judgmental of Americanized Asian cuisine. Ejji represents real, un-sugared, not overly salted, true Asian cuisine done to a high standard. Crispy meats, fresh noodles, lots of herbs, excellent! Really, really satisfied and I hope to come back to Baltimore on business soon to try another dish there! read more

What do you do when it's cold and dreary out and you happen to be on the East side of the beltway? You go to your old haunts and see if they are open for noodle soup. Sadly, Ejji in Belvedere closes at 3pm on Sundays but I remembered that Ejji (well their website reminded me) has a stall at Whole Foods in the city. After a quick glance at the menu, I knew exactly that hand pulled noodles were on my wish list for my meal. The boy was lured in with the promise of noodles.. and to his dismay ramen is NOT served at this location. They do have a limited menu at Whole foods, 2 noodle options (one broth-y, one saucy) and two sandwich options. Perhaps not what the boy was thinking -- he wanted ramen, after all it IS Ejji Ramen. He was still pleasantly surprised with his choice -- The Wet bird. The broth hit the spot with him on the Ramen-esque notes. Don't get me wrong, this is no ramen, so no milky broth with that silky after taste. This broth was much clearer but also due to the bonito flakes that were put in the soup had a nice smoky flavor. I ended up with the fiery noods and boy did that deliver on flavor. I think it was a tad on the saltier side for me but spicy, salty, pork and noodles. When we get ramen we typically add extra veggies to our broth and I think the next time i get the fiery noods i may be tempted to see if they could do half mushroom half pork and add some veggies. I also ended up getting a side of pan fried dumplings -- they were meh. Good i suppose but not as good as the noodles. read more

This ramen is off the chain! I felt bad for cheating on Kippo but i'm really glad I checked this place out. It's not your traditional ramen--I had the wet bird, which was perfectly seasoned and really satisfying and my girlfriend had the veggie ramen special (w/pumpkin gyozas) which she said was amazing. The beer noodles are really flavorful and have a great chew to them. We came here on a nice day and enjoyed the outdoor seating. It's awesome to see people taking ramen to new places and doing it well. Highly recommend this spot! read more

I was very disappointed with the ramen. The noodles were very stuck together. The broth was barely hot. I will not be going back to this restaurant. read more

EJJI is easily one of the best restaurants in Baltimore. The food and staff are both excellent. Try the fiery noodles with ground pork, the harbor hen, or beef burger sando with fresh-cut fries. The noodles are handmade and the sesame buns are baked in-house. The rotating specials are also fantastic; I'd suggest the roasted duck sandwich or the beef bulgogi noodles when available. Every dish is packed with flavor and the portions are generous. Highly recommend! read more

Love the convenient location on Whole Foods' second floor. The food is fresh, tasty, and authentic. You can actually see them hand pulling the noodles. The flavors are out of this world -- Ejji collaborated with Monument City Brewing, which gives them such a unique flavor. The sauce has a kick and a bit of sweetness to balance out the pork. The portions are huge, too, so it's a great value overall. read more
