Urbanbelly
The “Belly” restaurants are like the Brady Bunch of Asian cuisine. Between Belly Q, Belly Shack, and Urbanbelly, you’ve got your bases covered with Asian barbecue, Korean and Puerto Rican Fusion, and a slightly more traditional but still somewhat fusion noodles, dumplings, and rice spot.
Urbanbelly is the more casual noodles, dumplings, and rice spot of the three, and is connected to its older Belly Q sibling. What we’re basically saying is Urbanbelly is the Cindy/Bobby Brady of the bunch, except for as far as we know Urbanbelly isn’t growing weed in the back - something real life Cindy Brady admitted to doing because she “liked gardening.” Sure, gardening.
The way things work here are pretty simple: order at the counter, grab a number, and take a seat at one of the long communal tables either inside or outside on the patio. Don't feel like sitting? You can also pop in, drop $15, and be back at your desk or apartment in no time with a meal that you'll be perfectly content with.
Either way, you should probably know that Urbanbelly is a straightforward operation, and it's also a gluten bloodbath, so leave your gluten-free but probably not actually Celiac crew at home. Don't make things complicated.
You know what make things complicated? Kissing your step-sibling. Leave that to the Brady Brunch.
