Yum

I’ve had the tofu brah bowl and tempura broccoli several times, and it’s always delicious. I don’t love eating in the restaurant because it’s rather cramped and with loud music so usually do take out.

Pros: Tasty, Clearly labeled vegan options

Cons: Not great dining in experience

Tofu brah is superb!

Tofu brah bowl is probably the best tofu I've had. Delicious! Huge portions, was enough for two meals.

Tofu Brah!

I enjoyed this so much, huge portion, perfect tofu and all kinds of yummy pickled business. We also got the tempura broccoli, and they did that up right.

Pros: Delicious , Fast , Friendly service

Tofu Brah is phenomenal

The Tofu Brah with rice and veggies is one of my all time favorite dishes. The broccoli side is also super delicious. Even though I live an hour away in DC now, I will travel all the way to Baltimore just to get Ekiben. It's THAT good. 10/10 would recommend.

Pros: Incredible

Huge portion!

Tofu brah bowl is vegan as-is. Great for lunch two days in a row!

Amazing

The Tofu Brah Bowl is vegan as well as most of their sides. I had the Tofu Brah Bowl, Tempura Broccoli, and Red Beans & Rice. Highly recommend all of them! (FYI, it took me a while to find the restaurant because they are located in the alley behind the building.)
