"Craft cocktails and modern Asian cuisine reign at this hip noodle bar in Honolulu 's Chinatown. Dig into a bowl of ramen, garnished with sesame seeds, green onion, ginger, a soft egg, and wakame (dried seaweed). From there, things get lively with additions like oxtail won tons and togarashi shrimp with housemade kimchi. Other standouts include lamb lumpia and pork belly bao (buns). Adventurous eaters should try the uni gnocchi—made with creamy urchin gonads—enhanced by leeks, tomatoes, and butter cream sauce. A popular late-night stop, Lucky Belly serves its full menu until 12 a.m. every night except Sunday. Its takeout window serves specials—announced via @_dawindow on Instagram—until 2 a.m., Thursday to Saturday."

The food here is very delicious, with friendly service and a chill ambiance. Portion sizes are generous and appetizers are generous. The bao is amazing and any ramen you order will not disappoint! Would definitely recommend!

Really enjoyed this place. It's small on the inside and we didn't have reservations but the service was really good and the staff was very thoughtful while we waited. We had the pork belly bao and shrimp tacos and it was good good two people.

One of the new favorite places to eat on Oahu! Unique combinations, constant service, and gray flavors. We ordered: - lobster shu mai - the beast ramen - lobster loco moco EVERYTHING we ate was amazing. Lobster shumai, has the same flavor combinations you get with a pork/shrimp shumai but on crack. Lobster flavor obviously replaces the classic shrimp flavor but it’s more decadent with lobster chunks of meat. The sauce is a lemon beurre blanc was balanced and contrasts the shumai well. Note this only comes with 3 pieces!! The Beast Ramen is easily top 3 ramens I’ve had. I live in the Bay Area and travel often. No specific order, lobster pork broth ramen from ramen parlor (San Mateo) and the pork tan tan from menya (San Diego) also round out my top 3. Broth is rich, that’s the number one thing you remember from ramen. Is the flavor of the broth. The unique ness of the dumpling (oxtail) in the soup was amazing also. Lobster moco, is all you got to say when you’re asking about unique dishes. I’ve never seen this in a menu and we had to go for it. The lobster is within the rice, they had a layer of lobster flavor but a texture between the patty and the rice. Amazing dishes. Highly recommend this place because we’ll be back.

The lighting was dim so hard to get clear photos but the food was 10/10. It was a great choice for an open-late chinatown meal with friends, and our server gave us great recommendations too. We got two ramen bowls (which seem pretty much the same base, just changing out protein options), two appetizers and an entrée with some drinks. The prices are definitely on the higher end but super delicious and filling too. The duck tacos, which I'd known as being the must-order, did not disappoint. Super crispy light shell and a saucy tender duck filling. Totally drool worthy. The server recommended we try the bone marrow risotto filled Inari, which at first looked amusingly underwhelming, but was an absolute flavor bomb of creamy, savory risotto that had us all exclaiming "oh my god' in unison. The ramen was great- noodles were springy, a flavorful broth that wasn't too salty, and my favorite bite was the oxtail dumpling swimming inside. The lamb with rice porridge was also decadent while feeling cozy- rice porridge always brings me back to childhood. So good! Next time I'll try out the takeout window spot too :)

The most unremarkable food I had in my 8 day trip to Oahu. Most things we tried were way too sweet: oxtail dumplings, crispy duck tacos and even the wonton in the ramen. Ramen broth was not bad, but the egg was just a regular soft boiled egg. The wafu steak was ok but I wouldn’t think of skewer as “steak”. Would not recommend to come here.

Absolutely amazing meals and service. Small menu but meticulously made food. Unbelievably good flavor combos. Food heaven type stuff. Amazing recommendations from bartender as well for sake. I wish more places minimized their menus but maximized their product like this place does. A million stars.

Great food and a very nice staff. The duck tacos were unbelievable. The Kim chee bowl with shrimp was spicy and delicious. I absolutely loved it.

Cute dimmed lighting and good seating. I like the cocktail selection, they have interesting ingredient combinations. The food is beautifully presented, but the flavours kind of fall flat. I got the dumplings, steak skewer and duck tacos. The duck was kind of stringy which doesn't pair well with such a crunchy fried shell. For some reason I tasted a lot of balsamic vinegar flavour in the dumplings and even the steak, and not much else. I wish there was more sauce and other ingredients to add to the flavour profile, especially for the price. Again, the food is not bad, but it's also not great. I'd come here for the imaginative drinks though.
