Ekiben - Hampden

Ekiben is an award-winning Asian fusion restaurant in Baltimore. We currently have 3 locations across the city (Fells Point, Hampden, South Baltimore).

Since our founding in 2014, we've been lucky to find success both locally and nationally. We're routinely listed among the best restaurants in the city, and for several years running, Yelp has listed Ekiben on their Top 100 Restaurants In The Country list. In 2023, our chef and co-founder Steve Chu was a James Beard Semifinalist for Best Chef Mid-Atlantic.

While we're proud of the reviews and recognition Ekiben receives, the thing that gives us the most joy is feeding the wonderful people of Baltimore. We love being part of this city, and providing a great meal and heartfelt joy to our fellow Baltimoreans is a responsibility we take seriously.

In addition to our three locations, we also have a food truck and thriving catering and events operations that books over 250 events every year.

To make all this happen—and to ensure that Ekiben continues to operate at the highest quality while meeting best-in-class standards—we need a crazy talented team that is passionate about food and serving people.

That's where you come in. Ekiben is a welcoming and inclusive environment, and if you're serious about a career with us, we'll teach you absolutely everything you need to know about how to thrive in the restaurant industry. What we ask in return is that you mirror the hard work and resilience you see the Ekiben team bring to the table every day.

Working at Ekiben—and in any successful restaurant—is demanding. But it's also the most rewarding work we could ever imagine doing, and we're eager to meet people who want to do this work alongside us. You don't need any previous restaurant experience to join us—just a willingness to learn new things, loyalty to those around you, and the resolve to get the job done no matter what.

If that sounds like you, well, then we can't wait to meet you.
