This sounds awful. It’s also worth noting that the story is based on the account of 1 anonymous witness.

It’s a very popular shop in Baltimore where they make chicken sandwiches with bao buns. It’s good, but it’s been so hyped that by the time I tried it, my expectations were definitely higher than what I got. It’s like that movie that you would have thought was “decent”, but because everyone said it was “amazing”, you leave the theater disappointed.

So I don’t agree with the commenter who says it’s “not good”, but I also wouldn’t plan my trip to Bmore around it…

Im expecting to get downvoted like crazy. But I find Ekiben decent but also very overrated. In my experience their chicken was greasy and tendon-y, and the sandwich was overall hard to eat. But I know I’m in the minority so I’ll take the abuse lol.

I also feel this way about BRD but maybe that’s for another thread….

Overlap of Hampden and Medfield for those who are curious. Residents of surrounding streets typically say they live in Medfield, though the communities’ boundaries overlap and both include 40th and 41st St west of Falls. Fun little Bmore quirk.
