Reviews for Lucky Belly in Honolulu, HI
Quaint and friendly restaurant offering appetizing bites including smoked octopus and duck tacos. The ramen bowls are rich in... flavor without being overly salty or skimping on ingredients. The fungi (mushroom) one was balanced and satisfying. Cocktailswere a bit mild in flavor but tasty. Fun vibe. Reservations recommended due to limited seating. Read more
Cozy ambiance, duck tacos are the number one item if I were to choose only one thing to order. The bellies in baos are super... juicy and it goes well with cilantros. We also liked the dumplings; soft and juicy. We were a bit disappointed by the ramen, aswe heard ramen is what they are known for. Lack of flavors in broth was overtaken by toppings. Ingredients in the bowl didn’tmix well. The portion is not big but it’s plain that we lost interests in the middle of the bowl. Miso braised shank was worththe money. Looking at it, I wasnt sure why porridge was $26. The size of the shank is humongous! The braised meat is sooooo softand flavorful. Porridge was just a helper! I loved all their dish that relied on flavors from meat. I don’t recommend theramen though. Service staff was attentive and fast. Read more
Had to make a reservation two weeks in advance, and let me tell you, it was worth it. Everything was just amazing! For drinks... my wife had the Desert Flower & I had the Maui Brewing seasonal beer(which was a sour). Then for food, we started with the DimSum Trio(lobster shumai, pork belly bao, and duck tacos). It was so good. Then my wife ordered more duck tacos, because theywere so good! Then to have more, I had the Bi Bim Bap, which was the best I've ever had. My wife ordered the Beast Bowl &enjoyed it. Couldn't finish it, it was such a big portion. Service was excellent, as Leslie was a fantastic server, and workedthe entire dining room by herself. Parking was sketchy, but there are a couple of paid lots within 1-2 blocks. Mahalo & enjoy! Read more
All was just amazing. The food was exceptional. We had pork belly bun - mind blowing; duck tacos - amazing, smoked octopus and a... special - fish. Everything is super fresh and well prepared. The service is exceptional. Neighborhood cool with plenty of barsaround to go after. Highly recommending Read more
OMG BEST PLACE IN OAHU HANDS DOWN! My boyfriend and I have just finished our 7 days trip to Oahu, and and hands down, this was... the best food we had our whole trip. GET THE CRISPY DUCK TACOS! It’ll change your life! We also shared the Beast Ramen bowl(it’s a VERY large bowl, so sharing is encouraged). The guy working at the bar is seriously so knowledgeable, kind, and agreat guy overall. The vibes and food were on point. Make sure you go! Read more
It took forever to get a reservation here and so i was finally thrilled to get in there to try it out. I gotta say i think it... was more hype for me so my expectations were super high. We tried the smoked octopus and duck tacos as apps. They were prettygood although i wish the tacos had a heavier hitting duck flavor. It kind of got lost. The smoked octopus was good and cookedwell. As for the soups, we got the beast and the belly bowl. The beast i highly recommend if you love oxtail. It was supersavory. As for the belly bowl, everything was melt in your mouth good. The broths overall are very soothing and recommend that.Keep in mind all apps come in 3 pieces except for the duck tacos. Overall, I’m pretty happy with the experience but I’m notdying to go back super soon. Read more
Hands down, best ramen I have had! But what really made it better, were the incredible people I got to meet who were running the... restaurant. Jason, Leslie, and all the staff were very nice and welcoming! Jason was very knowledgeable and passionate about thedishes on the menu, but was also very considerate and more than happy to help if any question I had sprung up! I would recommendand go again in a heart beat! Also, did I mention the tacos? They were absolutely sensational! Read more
Ramen was good, wasn't able to try out any of the appetizers because a lot of them were out for some reason. The fungi bowl is... nice and light while the beast bowl had a nice flavour punch to it. However, the wontons were slightly undercooked due to thethickness of the wrappers. I also wish this place was in a better location. Chinatown is super sketchy. Read more
