Lucky Belly offers a delightful blend of Asian cuisine, with some Japanese named beer. Everything is expertly cooked and was delicious – no raw options here (I didn't see any). The restaurant exudes an upscale ambiance, making it an ideal choice for post-show or casual hangouts. Prices, though reflecting typical Hawaiian expenses, are reasonable. Fast service and good overall service distinguish this spot from neighboring crowded establishments. A recommended choice for a satisfying dining experience.
Some of the best ramen on oahu. Made fresh, huge portions, great prices, and excellent service. Small menu, but the specials were really good, and you really can't go wrong with any of the choices. Appreciate them being open laster than most places also so you can usually always get a table. Nice bar and drink selections also. Highly recommended.
Located in Chinatown, we were blown away by the food! Our server was friendly and super attentive - made sure our entire experience was special. Great variety of food choices, including appetizers and ramen too. We live in FL and I still ask my husband to fly back just to eat here! *sorry for knocking over my table with the glasses on it on the way out*
Went here on a Monday night and it was pretty slow, which perplexed me because the food was fantastic here. The service was friendly and welcoming. The menu is adventurous and exciting which I like to see.
Lucky Belly is a cozy restaurant with a great vibe. Love that it's not too crowded, which allows for space for conversations and separation for COVID. The hostess, Kelsey, was super friendly and offered great local tips. Our server, Ana, was very engaging, offered great menu recommendations, and was very attentive the entire time. Now, let's talk about the drinks and food! I highly recommend ordering the box sake. They pour the light sake into a shot glass overflowing into a box; this is to represent an overflowing abundance of gratitude. We also ordered the shrimp gyoza, red snapper plate (extremely tasty!), and shrimp kimchi ramen for dinner, which we recommend all of them. For dessert, it was the most creative and light creation, made to look like a bonsai. I highly recommend Lucky Belly! Exceptional dining experience...
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. Cocktails were a bit mild in flavor but tasty. Fun vibe. Reservations recommended due to limited seating.
Shared a bunch of apps between 4 and each had an entree. It wasn’t as great as I remember, lamb was a bit over sauced, duck tacos were tasty but also saucy and fried overpowered the duck, and the ramen broth was very salty. Full fish special was delicious. A fine meal but not amazing.
Great ramen restaurant in Waikiki! Pleasant staff and good service make Lucky Belly a must for ramen fans.
Parking may be difficult to come by, but there’s a parking lot nearby with decent rates.
Overall Lucky Belly wasn’t too busy, had amazing food, and really hit the spot for ramen!
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 pretty good although i wish the tacos had a heavier hitting duck flavor. It kind of got lost. The smoked octopus was good and cooked well. As for the soups, we got the beast and the belly bowl. The beast i highly recommend if you love oxtail. It was super savory. 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 not dying to go back super soon.
This is a nice place, the staff is friendly and the service fast. I was annoyed at the beginning because some plates (with crab) were not available, but as I tried the oxtail dumplings, the gyoza and the pork belly bao I found the food excellent in taste. I will certainly come here again.
