I had the pleasure of dining at Ekiben recently, and it was truly a delightful experience! 🌟
The spicy Neighborhood Bird bun is hands down the best fried chicken sandwich I've ever tasted - crispy, flavorful, and perfectly balanced with a touch of heat. The tempura broccoli side was another standout; I've never enjoyed broccoli this much!
While the seating is a bit tight, the friendly staff made us feel welcome. I’ll definitely return for more deliciousness! 🍽️
