Ekiben Restaurant

We absolutely LOVE Ekiben! We always have to get the Neighborhood Bird, it’s just so delicious. We also love their Tempura Broccoli. It’s really easy to order through the app. We recently tried their Spicy Pork on a bun, it was also very yummy!

Holy shut your mouth, this place pumps out some beyond delicious food! Last meal delicious. The Original and Neighborhood Bird are perfection. Come hungry. Portions are substantial.

Just get it. Everyday of the week. It’s life changing. ‘Tis all.

Outstanding. I had the fried catfish “tackle bad” and my partner had the “neighborhood bird” as a bun. They made the best fried fish I have ever had, and everything else was perfect. No exaggeration. The hot sauce is also great. 💯

This place is delicious. Seriously so good. The service was great and very friendly. We've been traveling the country for the last two months and eating our way through it. This is one of the best places we have eaten. Do yourself a favor and go. I had the spicy bird and it was amazing.

It was so good that I forgot and took a bite before pictures. These steam buns are very flavorful. Great fusion. I got the neighborhood Bird and the Original. So delicious. Everybody was super friendly there. Service was great. Place was rocking and rolling. Great concept. I will be returning.

Fantastic food and people, the back alley hole in the wall restaurant that serves the best food in dc. Truly, a diamond in the rough. Would absolutely come again 10/10

Best place I have been to in a while. You might think it is a walk from wherever you are but I would make the trip. Trendy, laid back vibe, not a ton of place to eat in but the Neighborhood Bird was delicious.

The bun sandwiches were absolutely amazing and full of flavor and the online takeout process was simple

I love the tutu brah bun and the tempura broccoli is also good. I haven't had a chance to try anything else though. The staff is nice and it has a nice atmosphere.

Great spot! Tons of food for the price. Great flavor and staff super friendly.

This food was magical. Crispy juicy fried chicken. Super flavorful with a little heat thanks to the Berbere, an Ethiopian spice, added to the seasoning. I loved everything! The rice, the pickled veggies, the soft and light steamed bun! It was one of the best meals I've ever had.

I like that they have a minimalist menu, which surely has allowed them to master their craft. We tried two of their buns (orig & hood bird) and the fried broccoli --> great combo, yum! They can get busy and it's a small space, so make sure to call ahead if you're picking up from the shop.

Delicious & worth the wait.Very responsible business too, pre order, show up, one at a time allowed it, & then enjoy your piping hot food!!!!

can not get enough of this place. every item on the menu is an explosion of flavor in your mouth. the service is amazing and the staff is friendly. my favorite is the tofu brah.. just perfection for vegetarians and non vegetarians. it’s worth every bite.
