Underbelly absolutely delivered. Everything we had was packed with flavor — bold, balanced, and thoughtfully executed. Each dish felt intentional, layered, and memorable without being overcomplicated. You can tell the kitchen knows exactly what it’s doing.

The overall experience matched the food. The atmosphere is inviting and stylish while still feeling comfortable enough to settle in and enjoy the evening. It’s the kind of place where you want to take your time, try multiple dishes, and share everything at the table.

If you appreciate creative, flavor-driven food done right, this spot is worth it. I’ll definitely be back to explore more of the menu.

What a great trendy spot! Has good music, great spot to take a date. Parking wasn’t that bad but depends on when you’re coming.

You order the food and sit down and wait. Which is cool. The issue I had was that there was line, host said wait somewhere while people would walk inside and try to cut others off. So made no sense to wait.

I got the bento box which was good, but the kimchi was just ok. They gave me a bottle of water and the beer was great.

Underbelly in Little Italy was such a fun and genuinely great experience. From the moment I walked up, my server made me feel welcomed and clearly explained how to order and where I could sit, which made everything feel easy and comfortable right away.

I chose an outdoor table and it was the perfect decision — great views of the lively street, people strolling by, and plenty of dogs adding to the energy. It was a fun atmosphere, and by the time my food arrived I was already in a great mood.

I ordered the Belly of the Beast ramen and added carrots, corn, and bok choy. It was simply delicious. The seasoning was perfect for me — I didn’t add a single extra sauce (even though a full assortment was provided and thoughtfully explained). The broth had the ideal texture, and every element of the bowl felt balanced and well executed.

Service was excellent throughout, and this easily ranks as one of the best ramen experiences I’ve had. I would return here anytime I’m in San Diego.

I ordered belly of the beast ramen and spice JFC chicken. The ramen noodles over cook, the soup is not hot enough and the soup broth tastes no good. The soup tastes like the one you can buy at Korean market the beef broth package. I love all kinds of ramen but this is 1/10 no good. And the chicken OMG not fresh made, chicken is cold and looks like made long time ago very dry and taste not good at all.

The service and hospitality at this restaurant was second to none for us. We were greeted by the most lovely staff members who were all so sweet and endearing – they were genuinely so charming without perhaps even realizing it. The ramen was simply delicious in depth and the condiments to customize the broth were an additional treat to tailor to your spice level. The menu was small but it focused on quality and was at an incredible value for the section of ingredients (e.g. brisket, oxtail, pork belly, etc). The establishment was also stunning to look at with its open concept. It was by far one of our most favourite restaurants in San Diego.

This location is very near Little Italy. Parking can be tricky since street parking is usually needed and often requires payment. You order and pay upfront, then choose a seat, where you pay for the food—it’s a bit small and often crowded inside. The staff delivers the food to you. Seating options include outdoor, indoor, and bar-side areas. The place has a nice vibe, and the food is excellent.

We went with the ramen but probably should have gone with the bento box. The ramen felt fresh and simple which is probably perfect for some people. I tend to lean towards the ramens that are richer and more complex but I can see why people would like it. The bento box on the other hand had a good variety of items that were each pretty good. The eggplant covered tofu in particular was marinated well.

The seating was pretty much only for two people at a time so it was a bit akward to fit 3+ in but there might have been bigger spots upstairs that would have worked. The bar columns were cool since they are mechanical so the entire shelf moves down when they need it to. Overall I can see the appeal but I would probably get something else if I go back.

I really wanted to give this four stars but a few things held it back.

The ambiance is pretty cool. They are clearly aiming for a retro futuristic Neo-Tokyo / Blade Runner vibe. That’s awesome. But there is a difference between grity and just plain dirty. This one is the latter.

Went for the standard tonkotsu ramen as a baseline. It looks great. But each of the flavors was just a bit off.

The soup base was solid. 9/10
The egg was not jammy enough. 8/10
The noodles were overcooked and soggy, and they used instant noodles instead of real ramen egg noodles. 4/10
Chashu pork, overcooked and flavorless. Color is wrong. 5/10
Missing a few normal items like nori, burdock, corn, etc. Sigh. Oh well.

Very much a self serve vibe. Staff seemed rushed and uninterested. A big faux paux for any Japanese restaurant even in the US.

Ultimately this place is fine if you just have to scratch a ramen itch, but don’t get your hopes up.

Place is great, but my impression on it changed when I got Ramen to-go. Apparently the option of tipping is an illusion when the worker slipped a unauthorized $9.26 tip into my order. Make sure to check your receipts.

I was a fool as I didn’t catch it at the time, definitely won’t happen again. Hopefully this is a helpful review to other customers.
