Ekiben is a counter-serve Asian restaurant serving rice bowls and other eclectic comfort foods with Asian inspirations. The menu features halal chicken steamed buns, a signature neighborhood bird bowl with moist chicken, and tempura broccoli with tangy sauce, cilantro, and mint. The space is decorated with anime and manga panels throughout, and the restaurant operates multiple locations with consistent preparation and quality across each.
Staff has given verbal assurance of halal status. Chicken is halal. From the management: 'None of our locations are fully Halal as we do sell pork products, but our chicken (the Neighborhood Bird) is Halal. Since non-Halal items are prepped in a shared kitchen we cannot 100% guarantee there is no cross-contamination. We make every effort to keep it separate from any non-halal food items to prevent cross-contamination such as using seperate fryers. If you do decide to dine with us please feel free let our staff know of your dietary restrictions when ordering so they can do everything possible to ensure you are safe when dining with us.'
Score reflects admin-confirmed halal status; no additional evidence on file yet.
I emailed the main Ekiben company email address. They got back to me the next day. This is the response to my question about halal meat. “ Thank you for reaching out regarding our menu.

This restaurant serves Pork, look at the menu. The menu has sandwiches that say halal and pork sandwich on the same page.
Ekiben has been on my ‘Must Try’ list for years, and we finally had the chance to check it out this weekend. It lives up to the hype and more! Their food is so ridiculously good!!! The service was great and very quick, too. We will definitely make the trip again soon to try more of the menu.
