Hello, today we will be reviewing Urban Belly.
Max:
I have never been here before and their food is AMAZING!!! no seriously this is the best review we have done so far, we all think. i had their Rice Cake, if you have never had rice cakes before, they are basically big plumps of rice, but not in grains they are more like balls of rice flour. but anyway, the Rice Cake was very good. it was in a big bowl with Really tasty spicy sauce, and my favorite part, Mango! that's right, Slices of mango were in the sauce, which was interesting since Mango is sweet and the sauce was spicy. but it was Delicious! there were also strips of fried chicken. and even though the sauce made the fried chicken a little soggy, the chicken was still so flavorful!! the restrooms were very pretty, and the tile in the restrooms was pretty too! and the soap containers were very cool, they were old cans that had Korean symbols on them. and they also had a really cool wall of plants, they were growing in pots and on the wall! and not to get confused with the green rug that was on the wall near the restrooms. they were playing really good music in the entire restaurant!! so after we all finished our meals, we got warm maple doughnuts! and they were delicious with a nice maple flavor!! but they are also too hot if you eat them right way. OHH! and speaking of doughnuts, we tried to go to The Doughnut Vault before we went too Urban Belly. but unfortunately they were sold out :( but even though that they were closed we at least could go too Urban Belly!! so to get back into the subject of Urban Belly, i would definitely go back there because their food is AMAZING! and we loved it.
Otto: This was the first restaurant we have reviewed when I have been able to try all the meals, and I liked them all. I got the beef brisket, which was really really good, every single part of it was good, except for the garnish on the top (carrots and green stuff), which we removed. It was beef on noodles with a really good, non-spicy curry sauce. I would have liked even more sauce on it. Another dish I tried was the Ramen, which was really good. I don't eat much Ramen, so I don't know how it compares to other Ramen, but the parts I ate of it were good, the noodles and the broth and the pork belly. I've never had rice cakes like the ones in the shrimp and chicken dishes we got, but I really really really like them. They are like rice compacted together, most likely in a tube like thing and then sliced. (We just looked them up on Wikipedia, and I am mostly right.) We got the maple glazed mini donuts for dessert. They were small and warm and delicious.
Ruben:
Okay i have never been here before and it is amazing! First of all the service was great, the woman behind the counter told us what was good and let us take our time before ordering. Also the other staff was very nice. I had the Urban Belly Ramen. I'm new to gourmet ramen i have only had it a couple of times but this ramen was phenomenal. The broth was very good it had a wonderful combination of spices. and the broth really complemented the other ingredients of the ramen. The noodles were good they were not amazing but just regular ramen noodles. The pork belly was so good very chewy but in a good way. Also the mushrooms were a very nice touch to the ramen. I also tried the other dishes and let me say all of them were good, not one tasted bad. I really liked these rice cakes that Max had in his dish. when i go back to urban belly i might consider getting a dish that has the rice cakes in them. To finish it off we had the fried bite sized donuts they were so good! it reminded me of these donuts that i had a couple of times in southern Indiana. even though they were Vietnamese it still reminded me of the south. I liked the atmosphere of the restaurant, very modern and edgy. All there furniture was super cool and they had a awesome plant wall. The music was great—whoever made that playlist thumbs up! to them cause i was dancing throughout the restaurant. Overall i had wonderful experience at Urban Belly and i plan to go back soon. P.S. check out the Urban Belly restroom dancing video below.
