Lucky Belly is a somewhat new noodle house on the corner of Hotel and Smith Street. A noodle house in Chinatown. Go figure. However this noodle house is different from the normal Chinatown noodle establishments. Billed as “Chef inspired Ramen,” I would have to agree. It is indeed Casual dining. But fine date night suitable grinds is not a stretch at all. Well, as fine as a bowl of ramen can be. It has the look, but not the pretentious feel.
This place could be my apartment. In fact, I took a few extra pictures so that I may try to replicate the feel for my future abode. A conversation with Dusty (co-owner) yielded new tidbits, such as the menu is expanding. Daily specials and entrees are on their way. You will have to wait for a second set of reviews. And the window is doing well. More on that later. But for now, check out their current dinner menu.
If you remember my talk about gastro establishments popping up in Hawaii, well this is another one of them. Awesome music playing (click here to enjoy the vibe). Fresh, Modern. Excellent crafted adult beverages. And Master Craftsman presented dishes. but this bad boy has an awesome little side gig. Literally. Nestled in the middle of the arts district of Chinatown, Lucky Belly is able to reap the benefits of the night life of Chinatown. Look to the left, you have Bar 35, Manifest, next door. Look to the right, you’ve got the loft. And That’s just the ones that I know about. This place gets hopping late at night. Especially with its “window.”
While I have yet to partake, the window menu is said to be quality grub on the cheap. Served out a window after 10pm on the side of the restaurant, its walk up food of the highest quality. Those who have tried, truly enjoyed.
Say Hi to Dusty. Lucky Belly is his baby. and now, on to the food pics!
