We got the two specials – fried snapper on fried rice and the dim sum trio
Of the dim sum trio, only the lobster siu mai were memorable. I recommend that. Otherwise a bit steep for the price $30 for 6 bites.
The snapper and fried rice were tasty but the rice portions were tiny for the price $32

Lucky Belly was such a cool spot! My husband and I decided to grab a few appetizers. We went with the wafu steak, shrimp gyoza, and the duck tacos. The duck tacos were definitely our favorite. They were so good that we even went back before our flight to get them one last time before leaving Hawai’i. My husband also tried the Bean’ To Box, which is their twist on an old-fashioned. He also ordered the hibiscus lemonade, and I got the Jasmine lime soda — both were super refreshing. The service was awesome, and the atmosphere was cozy and chill. Lucky Belly was definitely one of my favorite restaurants to eat in Hawai’i! I’m still thinking about those duck tacos as I write this review.

OMG….this place is absolutely amazing! Food 10. Atmosphere 10. Drinks 10. Service 10. Presentation 10. We pretty much raided the appetizer menu. Everything was delicious. The drinks were also top tier! Don’t sleep on Lucky Belly! You WILL NOT be disappointed!

Lucky Belly is a great spot for tasty food and drinks. Most of what we tried was delicious, and the crispy duck tacos are a definite must try, it was packed with flavor and perfectly cooked. The only miss for us was the pork belly bao, which could use a bit of improvement in seasoning. Still, overall a solid experience and worth a visit!

True to the name, we were extremely lucky bellies, especially coming here without a reservation and being able to sit at the counter but moreso this was exactly what we we needed. I’ve been eating authentic Asian food for the past several months and to have Asian fusion was like having a cool breeze hit your skin in the Gobi desert. We tried their specialty for the day, a three appetizer sampler of the pork belly bao, shrimp gyoza and oxtail dumplings. This could’ve been our main course and I would’ve been more than happy as is but we also ordered the crispy duck tacos and this was my favorite. It was the crunch that I’ve been missing in so many Asian meals I’ve had. So crispy to match the duck’s juices. I hope this luck carries out throughout the rest of the week cuz I’ll be back again this weekend for more!

Lucky Belly had been bookmarked for a while now, and we finally made it in for dinner.
PARKING:
We made 2 laps in the immediate area, found no street parking and ended up in a paid lot.
ATMOSPHERE:
Very chic. Brick walls, big windows, high ceilings, exposed concrete floors. We sat at the bar. Seating isn’t too plentiful. The a/c was a bit nippy.
MENU:
Asian fusion apps, salads, ramen, entrees, and a unique selection of beers and mixed drinks.
FOOD:
Lobster Shu Mai
There wasn’t a distinct taste of lobster that I was anticipating, but the 3 pieces that sat over a subtle beurre blanc sauce were moist and had a nice subtle flavor. Pricey at $20. Oddly this ended up being my fave dish of the night.
Shrimp Gyoza
They do a twist on the traditional gyoza with this version that’s filled with chunks of shrimp. The 3 gyozas were laid on pats of an edamame & avocado purée that had a slight wasabi note. The tanginess from the ponzu and pinch of sprouts were nice enhancers.
Pork Belly Bao
Everyone is doing these nowadays. Their’s is spot on if not monotonous along with the rest of the world who makes these. The buns were smaller compared to others I’ve had.
Belly Bowl
I opted for this over the Lucky Bowl mainly due to the addition of the arabiki sausage. I’m not a fan of pork belly or thick chunks of bacon, but they came with, along with the standard bean sprouts, a whole medium egg, seaweed, and sprinkled sesame seeds. First off, the broth was warm, not hot, and killed the dish immediately for me. Is it so hard to understand the concept of hot broth + room temperature noodles = warm ramen? Sigh… The broth had a bold porky and slight creamy flavor with an appetizing color, but was a tad too salty even for me, and I rarely complain of overly-salted broth. Perhaps the simmered bacon took the sodium level over the edge. The noodles and bean sprouts were a bit overdone, the almost hard boiled and unseasoned egg was very lifeless, and the overload of seaweed tasted like the smell of marijuana. Less is definitely more.
Beast Bowl
My spouse’s dish. All of the ramen share the same broth, but this top-of-the-line selection adds in brisket, short ribs, and oxtail won tons. I had half of a won ton which was undercooked. The shell was doughy and super al dente at the edges, and the oxtail stuffing was laced with my kryptonite cilantro. Bleh.
SERVICE:
We were greeted immediately by a smiley and welcoming gal, and seated immediately at the bar. The wait for a table would’ve been about 30 minutes, and there weren’t too many to go around.
One of the guy bar backs doubled as our server. He was friendly, knowledgeable, and attentive.
The gal who greeted us has a sharp eye. She noticed that another patron was sitting in my spouse’s chair which he actually offered out because we were about to leave. She questioned the party professionally but felt bad for us so she comped 2 of our drinks. So sweet!
OVERALL:
Nice ambiance and food presentation, good apps, not my favorite ramen.

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.

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.
