Ekiben Kitchen

Visited with my parents and brother for the weekend and we had a great experience! Cozy spot in the heart of Athens with a lively atmosphere, definitely make a reservation as it gets packed. The staff was very friendly and welcoming. 🥰 We ordered the chicken karaage, pork katsu, Ekiben Smash, and beef mazemen. Everything was delicious! The karaage was crispy and tender, the pork katsu had a nice sweet balance from the cabbage, the Ekiben Smash melted in your mouth, and the beef mazemen had a rich, strong umami flavor. 🥺 Overall, we’ll definitely be back! ❤️‍🔥

One of the best restaurants in the center of Athens! It's been a long time since we ate so good, with every plate to be amazing!! I totally reccomend it, but make a reservation if you want to find somewhere to sit. The staff is very friendly and fast and the prices worth the money. Also the kitchen counter is a little bit uncomfortable.

What a place! Truly memorable the smash burger and beef tartare were both incredible. A reservation is definitely needed! I chose to sit at the open kitchen corner, and it was an amazing experience to watch the team work so smoothly and calmly. Highly recommended!

This place is crazy good!!! First of all, you must go and eat the smashburger now! After the first night we ate there, I came back everyday and did a take away of their burger is just a holly burger! And don't get me wrong everything there was soooo good, the salad, the chicken, the tartar, just everything! This is a hot spot now in Athens and I hope it will remain like that!

Ambience was great. We chose to sit at the kitchen counter, always exciting to see the chefs operate in harmony and synchronization, especially when you’re a chef yourself! Food was delicious, from the smash burger and creamy delicious mushroom udon noodles + karaage to strawberry sando and homemade miso ice cream. Steak tartare was delicate and flavorful, also very generous portion as a starter (we loved that). Thank you! 🙏
