Ekiben is a hidden gem in Baltimore that completely blew me away! 🌟 I indulged in the Neighborhood Bird Bowl and a spicy fried chicken bun, both simply mouthwatering! The chicken was juicy, wrapped in a soft bun with perfect seasoning.

The highlight? Definitely the crispy fried tofu on a bun! 🥢 The balance of textures and flavors was remarkable. The staff were super friendly, guiding me through their creative menu.

Be ready for a bit of a wait during busy hours, but trust me, it's worth it! The unique vibe and delicious comfort food make it an absolute must-try... 🍴
