This is my friend's favourite local joint - so much that he decided to have them cater his wedding last year. The Neighbourhood Bird (their most classic fried chicken) is amazing!! Such large portions too - could definitely be for two meals. My friend got their meatball one and is impressed with that too. The sauce for the crispy potatoes is the best part of that appetizer. Their Thai Iced Tea is excellent too.

An unbelievably delicious shop in Baltimore serving some of the best fried chicken I've ever had with moist, delicious buns. Get the "Neighborhood Bird". You won't regret it.
One orders at the counter, and it can take 10 minutes for the food to be prepared as many locals order takeout. There isn't much space inside (8 chairs for 3 counters, 2 tables to stand at) and 2 tables outside.
There is a bathroom that is well-maintained and the staff are quite friendly and lively.

This Asian-fusion sandwich and bowl spot just became a favorite of mine. The Neighborhood Bird is a massivive, tremendously flavorful fried chicken sandwich. The bun is big and soft, like a huge Bao bun, but this monster hangs off the sides and can be eaten with a fork and knife. I suggest going for the spicy version, as the spice level is about a 5 or 6, not too spicy, more of a gentle sweet heat. It's quite delicious. Also, do not sleep on the Tempura Broccoli, which may be the best preparation of broccoli I've ever tried. It's very lightly and sparingly battered and served with a ton of herbs, including Thai basil, and a very tasty vinaigrette. There's seating for about ten people in the restaurant, as this is a counter-service spot that's primarily for grab-and-go or eating quickly. The staff is very friendly and helpful.

Ordered The neighbor hood bird bowl and spicy shrimps. The best shrimps you can get. All the food was fresh. The employees are super friendly.

The food is very, very tasty! Their buns are extraordinary soft, and their rice items are generally great too. I feel, though there are ample restaurants in Fells Point neighborhood, most of them are simply trash. But Ekiben is a gem in this area, and what makes them even better is their service. Very hospitable, and they'll always serve with a smile.

Went here twice. Second time was a little less on point since the meat was still plentiful but fatty(had to pick through it while eating). On the positive side. I just want to say, I'm a very picky eater sometimes, certain vegetables don't make it into my diet, but I took a chance and ate the food exactly as intended and was rewarded with fresh vibrant kick as$ flavors, so rich and healthy tasting at the same time. As you can see I started eating before taking the picture, but the portion size matched the price. The staff were nice and peppy, place clean. This was the 'BEEEEEEEF' bowl dish. Not lacking in seasoning/flavor at all. Could kiss.the cook.

This place had the first chicken sandwich I’ve had in a while that was so juicy, sweet, and crispy all in one bite. I recommend the “Neighborhood Bird” bao, a super crispy chicken sandwich which only cost about $13 + tax. While I liked it as is, you can ask them to remove the cilantro if it is not for you.
Wait time was extremely fast, I don’t think I waited more than 5 mins for my food. Seating can get a bit tight inside, but there are also a couple seats outside as well. If you are driving here, prepare yourself to look for street parking.

They have gluten free fried chicken sandwich and rice bowl options!!!! Love this place soooo much. Such good flavors with both the fried chicken and their sauces. The service is excellent. I come back every time im in Baltimore.

We have ordered the chicken, pork and beef entrees, and they are all delicious. All have unique flavors. The pickled veggies complement very well.

Such a vibe inside the place, but also has outdoor seating who prefer to enjoy fresh air. They are quite busy with both online and dine-in orders, so be ready to wait a little while. The food is more than amazing, got neighborhood bird (has chicken) with bun. One of the best I’ve had till now. Totally recommended ✌️
